Avalanche warning for region Helgeland Thursday 24.03.2022

Danger level 2 - Moderate avalanche danger

Published:
The snow is still wet. Wet slab avalanches could occur between 800 - 1200 masl. Be aware of fresh snow in the alpine.

Avalanche problems

Wet snow (slab avalanches)

Avalanches may release spontaneously on a few steep slopes. Avalanches can get large enough to bury or even kill you (size 2).

Water pooling in/above snow layers

New snow (slab avalanches)

You can easily trigger avalanches on a few steep slopes. Avalanches can get large enough to bury or even kill you (size 2).

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)

Wednesday 23. March 2022

Snøoverflate er smelteomvandlet høyt til fjells. Hele snødekket er smelteomvandlet og drenerer godt opptil 600 moh. Over 1200-1400 moh antas det å være tørr snø.
Det er generelt mer snø i indre strøk enn ved kysten.

Gamle vedvarende svake lag forventes å har enten blitt nøytralisert av regnvær eller låst under tykke lag med smelteomvandlet snø.

Mountain weather

Wednesday 23. March 2022

30 mm precipitation, up to 60 mm in the most exposed areas. Precipitation as rain. Strong breeze from southwest, changing to fresh breeze from the north during the evening. -2 °C to 0 °C at 1100 m a.s.l. Cloudy.

Thursday 24. March 2022

14 mm precipitation, up to 25 mm in the most exposed areas. Rain up to 800 m a.s.l Thursday night. Breeze from west. -5 °C to 1 °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

Skredproblemet i regionen vil være ferske nysnøflak som dannes i løpet av dagen i høyfjellet. Disse kan være ustabile mens det snør.

Enkelte sjikt i snødekket kan være veldig vannmettet etter regnværet på onsdag. Det kan ikke utelukkes at pålagring i form av snø vil kunne gi et og annet naturlig utløst vått skred.
