Avalanche risk assessment

Fokksnøen fra søndag ventes å stabilisere seg gradvis. Faren for større naturlig utløste skred ventes å avta. Det vil fortsatt være lett å løse ut skred ved ferdsel i skredterreng.

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