Avalanche warning for region Indre Troms Friday 22.04.2022

Danger level 1 - Low avalanche danger

Published:
The snow will stabilize as the temperatures drops and the snow cover freezes. Avalanches can be triggered where the snow is wet. Persistent weak layers exist but are hard to trigger. Be careful to avoid sliding out on hard and refrozen slopes.

Avalanche problems

Wet snow (loose snow avalanches)

You can trigger avalanches on a few steep slopes. Avalanches can get large enough to bury or even kill you (size 2).

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)

Thursday 21. April 2022

Mye av snøoverflata ble fuktet eller våt siste uken grunnet mildvær, regn og sol. Snøoverflata vil nå fryse til over mildværsgrensa. I skyggefulle områder høyt til fjells kan det fremdeles være tørr snø og det kan komme litt påfyll utover dagen.

Over mildværskaren fra mars ligger det et svakt lag av kantkorn, som mange steder er i ferd med å bli smelteomvandlet.

Mountain weather

Thursday 21. April 2022

2-6 mm precipitation. Rain up to 600 m a.s.l during renoon. Fresh breeze from northwest. -4 °C to 1 °C at 1100 m a.s.l. Cloudy.

Friday 22. April 2022

2-4 mm precipitation. Rain up to 400 m a.s.l during renoon. Fresh breeze from northwest, changing to breeze from the northwest during the afternoon. -4 °C to -1 °C at 1100 m a.s.l. 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

Lavere temperaturer vil stabilisere det våte snødekket ytterligere. Under mildværsgrensa kan våte skred løses ut i enkelte heng. Over mildværsgrensa vil nedbør i kombinasjon med vind kunne gi noe snøtransport, men eventuelle flak vil trolig være så små at det ikke vil utgjøre et problem. Kantkornlag finnes, men er vanskelig å påvirke når snødekket fryser. Vær varsom med tanke på utglidningsfare i gjenfryste og bratte fjellsider.
