Avalanche warning for region Nord-Troms Sunday 06.12.2020

Danger level 2 - Moderate avalanche danger

Published:
Be careful in steep terrain with fresh wind deposited snow.

Avalanche problems

Wind drifted snow (slab avalanches)

You can easily 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)

Saturday 5. December 2020

Det er generelt lite snø, særlig i lavlandet og i ytre strøk. Snødybden i høyden varierer mye, med lite snø på rygger og rabber, og mer snø i le sider og forsenkninger.

Fredag ble det observert kantkorn mot bakken. På nåværende tidspunkt utgjør det ikke eget skredproblem, men vær spesielt obs der snødekket er tynt.

Mountain weather

Saturday 5. December 2020

Little to no precipitation. Fresh breeze from south, changing to strong breeze from the southwest during the evening. -11 °C to -6 °C at 1100 m a.s.l. Partly cloudy.

Sunday 6. December 2020

0-3 mm precipitation. Fresh breeze from west, changing to breeze from the west during renoon. -11 °C to -6 °C at 1100 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

Natt til søndag passerer et lavtrykk som vil danne ferske fokksnøflak, disse kan være lett å løse ut. Husk at selv små skred kan gi store konsekvenser ved terrengfeller. I enkelte formasjoner kan det ha samlet seg nok snø til å løse ut middels store skred.
