Avalanche warning for region Indre Troms Sunday 07.05.2023

Danger level 3 - Considerable avalanche danger

Published:
The avalanche danger increases in the evening as the rain will weaken the snowpack. Naturally released avalanches are expected on all aspects. In the high alpine, recently formed wind slabs could easily be triggered.
  • The danger is greatest from Sunday afternoon

Avalanche problems

Wet snow (loose snow avalanches)

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

Loose snow

Wind drifted snow (slab avalanches)

You can easily trigger avalanches on some 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)

Saturday 6. May 2023

Det har kommet endel nysnø siste uken, men mildværet og solinnstrålingen lørdag har nok fuktet snødekket høyt til fjells.
Det gamle snødekket smelteomvandlet under 700-800 moh, og det begynner mange steder å bli tynt med snø i lavlandet.

I overgangen mellom det gamle, fuktige snødekket og siste ukens snø kan det ha dannet seg små kantkorn noen steder. Utbredelsen er fortsatt usikker, og for det mest vil dette trolig oppleves som et fokksnøproblem som løsner helt ned til skaren.

Opp til minst 700 moh er det som tildligere var svake lag av kantkorn avrundet og stabilt. I nordvendt terreng høyt til fjells kan det fremdeles være svake lag av kantkorn dypere i snødekket, men de er generelt vanskelig å påvirke.

Mountain weather

Saturday 6. May 2023

No precipitation. Calm/light breeze from southwest, changing to fresh breeze from the southwest during the afternoon. -13 °C to -1 °C at 1100 m a.s.l. Partly cloudy.

Sunday 7. May 2023

4-7 mm precipitation. Rain up to 700 m a.s.l during the evening. Breeze from southwest, changing to fresh breeze from the southwest during the afternoon. -6 °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

Skredfaren øker på kvelden når mildværet slår til med regn. Naturlig utløste skred ventes.

Over mildværsgrensen kan det være lett å løse ut ferske fokksnøflak.

Første del av dagen vil det være nokså stabile forhold.
