Avalanche warning for region Vest-Telemark Sunday 29.04.2018

Danger level 1 - Low avalanche danger

Published:
Generally stabile conditions. Be aware in sun-exposed aspects for natural triggered avalanches.

Avalanche problems

Wet snow (loose snow avalanches)

You can easily trigger avalanches on some 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)

Saturday 28. April 2018

Snødekket er nå stort sett fuktig helt ned til bakken, stedvis er det mye vann i snøen. Minusgrader om natta gjør at snødekket fryser på og danner skare. Utover dagen fuktes det opp igjen, særlig i sørsider om sola titter fram. Det er lite snø i sørvendte sider under ca 1100 moh.

Det antas at det ikke finnes vedvarende svake lag i snødekket lengre.
Det rapporteres om vann ved bakken/smelting fra bakken ved Haukeli fredag.

Det finnes lagdelt snø i nordsider over ca 1100 moh.

Mountain weather

Saturday 28. April 2018

Sunday 29. April 2018

0-3 mm precipitation. Calm/light breeze from northwest. -9 °C to 1 °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

Liten endring i skredfaren. Det vil fortsatt være fare for våte løssnøskred i solvendte heng om ettermiddagen.
