Avalanche warning for region Indre Sogn Saturday 18.05.2019

Danger level 1 - Low avalanche danger

Published:
Generally stable conditions, but danger of wet avalanches in sunexposed mountainsides.

Avalanche problems

Wet snow (loose snow avalanches)

You can easily trigger avalanches on a few steep slopes. Avalanches are relatively harmless to people, but can knock you off balance. Can be dangerous close to terrain traps. (size 1)

Below you can see a description of the current snow cover information and current weather forecast in the mountains. If your observations deviate greatly from what is described here, the warning will not necessarily apply either. Always make your own judgments or stay away from avalanche terrain.

Snow cover (in Norwegian)

Friday 17. May 2019

Sist helg kom ein del nysnø, men denne har no fått varme og er i gradvis overgang mot grovkorna. Det eldre snødekket er i hovudsak grovkorna med god drenering, men i skyggevendte områder i høgda er det fortsatt ei viss lagdeling som kan gi varierande drenering av smeltevatnet. Snøgrensa er omlag 900 i solvendte sider og litt lågare i skyggevendte.

Mountain weather

Friday 17. May 2019

No precipitation. Breeze from east, changing to fresh breeze from the southeast during the evening. 1 °C to 11 °C at 1400 m a.s.l. Clear skies.

Saturday 18. May 2019

Little to no precipitation. Fresh breeze from southeast. 1 °C to 10 °C at 1400 m a.s.l. Partly cloudy.

Advice

The bulletin is a planning tool and may differ from the actual situation. Always make your own evaluation. To be 100 % avalanche safe, avoid all avalanche terrain.

Avalanche risk assessment

Rolige værforhold med varme og lite skyar gir snøsmelting og vått snødekke. I enkelte bratte heng er det forhold for våte laussnøskred, men det meste har rasa frå seg så skreda vil truleg være små. Delvis klårvær gir nedkjøling av snødekke om natta, og skiftinga mellom varme dagar og kalde netter gir forholdsvis rask omdanning til einsarta grovkorna snø og godt vårskiføre.
