Snow cover (in Norwegian)

Sunday 30. May 2021

Generelt er det fuktig/våt løssnø i snøoverflaten. Høyt til fjells og i nordvendte heng kan det være skare som tiner utover dagen.

Snøgrensen kryper stadig oppover, men det er store variasjoner i høyde for snøgrensen i regionen. Den er lavest i nordvendte sider, og indre deler av regionen.

1-3 mm precipitation. Breeze from southwest, changing to fresh breeze from the southwest during the afternoon. 0 °C to 7 °C at 700 m a.s.l. Cloudy.

Monday 31. May 2021

No precipitation. Breeze from southwest. 2 °C to 9 °C at 700 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

Det er generelt stabile forhold, men i bratte heng med våt løssnø kan det være lett å løse ut mindre skred. Økt temperatur fører også til at enkelte løssnøskred kan løsne naturlig.

Tirsdag/onsdag er det meldt betydelig varmere vær som vil gi en økt fare for naturlig utløste våte skred.
