Avalanche warning for region Nord-Troms Wednesday 16.03.2022

Danger level 1 - Low avalanche danger

Published:
The avalanche danger varies during the day. The danger is at its highest in steep sun exposed slopes and in the afternoon when the air temperature is high.

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)

Tuesday 15. March 2022

De siste dagene har mildvær jobbet godt med snødekket, og påvirket snøen opp mot 1000 moh. Sol og høye dagtemperaturer gjør at snøen i solutsatt terreng fuktes opp om dagen, og kalde nattetemperaturer gjør at det våte snødekket fryser til om natten. I skyggefullt terreng består snøoverflaten i hovedsak av harde og igjenfrosne smelteformer.

Det er observert kantkorn over ca. 500 moh både rundt mildværsskare fra 23. januar og fra slutten av februar. Det er ikke observert skred eller faretegn på disse lagene i den siste tiden.

Mountain weather

Tuesday 15. March 2022

No precipitation. Breeze from southeast, changing to fresh breeze from the southeast during the evening. -11 °C to 1 °C at 1100 m a.s.l. Partly cloudy.

Wednesday 16. March 2022

No precipitation. Breeze from southeast, changing to fresh breeze from the south during the afternoon. -11 °C to 0 °C at 1100 m a.s.l. Clear skies.

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

Fortsatt mildvær og rolige forhold gir liten endring i skredfaren. Nattefrost har virket stabiliserende på snødekket, men når temperaturen stiger utover dagen vil det fortsatt være lett å løse ut skred i den våte snøen. Der sola tar tak kan små skred løsne av seg selv. Vær også oppmerksom på skavler som kan knekke grunnet høye temperaturer.
