Avalanche warning for region Nord-Trøndelag Saturday 16.12.2023

Danger level 3 - Considerable avalanche danger

Published:
Temperature increase and precipitation causes natural avalanches in old persistant weak layers. Avoid avalanche terrain.

Avalanche problems

Wet snow (slab avalanches)

Avalanches may release spontaneously on some steep slopes. Avalanches can get large enough to bury a car or destroy a small house (size 3).

Water pooling in/above snow layers

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.

Mountain weather

Saturday 16. December 2023

25 mm precipitation, up to 45 mm in the most exposed areas. Rain up to 1400 m a.s.l during renoon. Strong breeze from southeast, changing to moderate gale from the southwest during the afternoon. -6 °C to 3 °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

Varselet er basert på et enklere datagrunnlag enn regionale varsler og utgis kun for faregrad 4 og 5.

På grunn av lite snø i terreng og regn høyt til fjells venter vi ikke stor snøskredfare.

Enkelte større naturlig utløste skred kan forekomme der mye regn vil svekke snødekket. Basert på observasjoner i naboregionen Helgeland finnes det flere svake lag i snøpakken, som raskt vil gå til brudd ved opphoping av vann. Etter hvert som vannet trenger lenger ned i snøpakken kan det løsne store skred på dypere vedvarende svake lag.

Det ventes mest nedbør og dermed størst skredfare nord i regionen.
