Lavlandet bærer preg av mildvær den siste tiden og det er lite snø under 500 moh.
I høyfjellet over ca. 1200 moh. består snøoverflaten av fokksnø med varierende hardhet, i vindutsatt terreng er det avblåst til bakken eller skare.

Det gamle snødekket antas stabilt etter flere runde med mildvær.

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

På ettermiddagen ventes økende nedbør og kraftig vind fra SV. Det er mange steder mye snø å flytte på og i høyden vil dette gi stor pålagring i nye hengretninger. Det blir igjen fare for naturlig utløste skred i heng som får stor innlasting. Store, klassiske skredbaner som får innlasting fra sørvest er mest utsatt.

Torsdagens fokksnøflak vil også trenge tid på å stabilisere seg. Det vil fortsatt være mulig å løse ut store skred i heng som samlet snø fra nordvesten.

I lavere områder vil stigende temperatur og regn i den nye snøen gi fare for våte skred utover ettermiddagen og kvelden.
