Avalanche warning for region Vest-Telemark Friday 27.04.2018

Danger level 1 - Low avalanche danger

Published:
Generally stable conditions. Temperature rise and solar radiation give increased danger of wet avalanches.

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)

Thursday 26. April 2018

Snødekket er nå stort sett fuktig, stedvis med mye vann i snøen. Minusgrader om natta gjør at snødekket fryser på. Utover dagen fuktes det opp igjen, særlig i sørsider om sola titter fram.

I det gamle snødekket kan det fremdeles finnes vedvarende svake lag med kantkorn fra rundt 1400 moh. og oppover.

Mountain weather

Thursday 26. April 2018

0-3 mm precipitation. Breeze from southwest. -6 °C to 0 °C at 1400 m a.s.l. Partly cloudy.

Friday 27. April 2018

Little to no precipitation. Breeze from west. -5 °C to 0 °C at 1400 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

Der sola tar tak, kan det være fare for våte løssnøskred i bratte sørvendte heng sent om ettermiddagen. Snødekket ved bakken reagerer sent på temperaturendringer og det kan fremdeles gå glideskred i områder der slike bruker å gå. På de høyeste toppene har det kommet noe nysnø, men den har mest sannsynlig fått gode bindinger til underliggende snø. Vær oppmerksom på at skavler kan knekke og falle ned.
