Avalanche warning for region Indre Troms Tuesday 30.01.2024

Danger level 4 - High avalanche danger

Published:
Avoid all avalanche terrain. Large naturally released avalanches are likely.

Old persistent weak layers will be weakened.

In the high alpine, strong wind-loading can cause large avalanches to release.

Some wet, loose avalanches are likely.

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).

Buried weak layer of new snow

Wet 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).

Buried weak layer of faceted snow above a crust

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

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 29. January 2024

Det har vært uvær i regionen siden lørdag, med mye vind og nedbør, samt tidvis høy snøgrense.

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

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

Det finnes vedvarende svake lag av kantkorn i snødekket, særlig rundt skarelag fra mildvær 9.1.

Mountain weather

Monday 29. January 2024

20 mm precipitation, up to 40 mm in the most exposed areas. Rain up to 1100 m a.s.l Monday night. Gale from west. -7 °C to 1 °C at 1100 m a.s.l. Cloudy.

Tuesday 30. January 2024

14 mm precipitation, up to 40 mm in the most exposed areas. Rain up to 600 m a.s.l during the afternoon. Strong gale from west. -6 °C to 0 °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

Fortsatt omfattende ustabile forhold. Unngå alt skredterreng.

Over mildværsgrensen vil det være stor pålagring av fokksnø i leheng. Store naturlig utløste skred ventes. Store skred kan også løsne i vedvarende svake lag i snødekket, som følge av pålagring og mildvær.


Snødekket har allerede vært utsatt for mildvær, men det kan likevel løsne noen våte løssnøskred under mildværsgrensen.
