Avalanche warning for region Indre Fjordane Tuesday 15.05.2018

Danger level 1 - Low avalanche danger

Published:
Favorable conditions. Warm daytime-temperatures and solar radiation give increased danger of wet avalanches. Glide avalanches are possible.

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)

Monday 14. May 2018

Snødekket er generelt smelteomvandla, grovkorna og fastare etter ein lengre periode med høge temperaturar og mykje sol. I høgfjellet kan det fortsatt være restar av lagdelingar og skarelag i snødekket. Snøgrensa i regionen ligg på 600-800 moh. Ryggar og kular i terrenget er snøfrie mange stader. Det har nylig vore observasjoner på sigesprekker som kan gi forhold for glideskred.

Mountain weather

Monday 14. May 2018

No precipitation. Fresh breeze from southeast, changing to breeze from the south during the afternoon. 3 °C to 12 °C at 1400 m a.s.l. Clear skies.

Tuesday 15. May 2018

No precipitation. Breeze from south. 4 °C to 14 °C at 1400 m a.s.l. Clear skies.

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

Klarvær gir utstråling og uttørking av snødekket om natta. Kombinert med god drenering av vatn i snøen, gir det mindre vassmetting om dagen og våte laussnøskred vil bli færre og mindre. Det er enkelte stader med sigesprekker i tjukt snødekke. Her er det forhold for glideskred. Varmen gjer også at det er forhold for at toppskavler kan knekke.
