Avalanche warning for region Indre Troms Sunday 28.01.2024

Danger level 4 - High avalanche danger

Published:
Avoid all avalanche terrain. Large accumulations of new snow could trigger large avalanches. Old persistent weak layers could be overloaded and fail, producing large avalanches.

Avalanche problems

Wind drifted snow (slab avalanches)

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

Persistent weak layer (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). Remote triggering is possible.

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 27. January 2024

Lørdag traff et uvær regionen med mye vind og nedbør, samt høy snøgrense.

Mildværet har trolig påvirket snøoverflaten kraftig og har gitt mye smelting.

Over snøgrensen ventes det å ha blitt kraftig pålagring av fokksnø i leheng.

Det er flere runde med svake lag av kantkorn i snødekket. Særlig rundt skarelag fra tidligere mildvær senest 9.1.

Mountain weather

Saturday 27. January 2024

12 mm precipitation, up to 20 mm in the most exposed areas. Rain up to 400 m a.s.l during the afternoon. Strong breeze from southwest, changing to gale from the south during the afternoon. -10 °C to -2 °C at 1100 m a.s.l.

Sunday 28. January 2024

12 mm precipitation, up to 30 mm in the most exposed areas. Rain up to 300 m a.s.l during the afternoon. Moderate gale from southwest. -7 °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

Uværet fortsetter søndag, med mye snø og kraftig vind. Særlig sør i regionen.

Mest utsatt er leheng som lørdag har fått mye snø og som nå får enda mer snø. Store naturlig utløste skred ventes i mange heng.

Skred kan også løsne på svake lag, dersom disse ikke løsnet på lørdag.

Under mildværsgrensen ventes de fleste skredene å ha løsnet allerede lørdag.

All ferdsel i skredterreng frarådes.
