Avalanche warning for region Rogalandskysten Sunday 28.01.2018

You can very easily trigger avalanches 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

Varselet er basert på et enklere datagrunnlag enn regionale varsler og utgis kun for faregrad 4 og 5

Det er lite observasjoner fra området, men se snødekkevurdering for Vest -Telemark og Hardanger som kan være representativt for nordøstre deler av regionen.

Mountain weather

Sunday 28. January 2018

20 mm precipitation, up to 65 mm in the most exposed areas. Moderate gale from west, changing to fresh breeze from the west during the evening. -5 °C to -2 °C at 1400 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

Mildvær opp til 800 moh, store nedbørsmengder og stiv kuling fra vest gjør at skredfaren vil øke ytterligere søndag. Naturlig utløste tørre flakskred forventes i mange bratte heng over mildværgrensa. Mest utsatt er terreng og lesider mot Ø og i indre deler av regionen. Under mildværgrensa forventes regn å føre til naturlig utløste våte flakskred og løssnøskred. Snøskredfaren vurderes til 4-stor. All ferdsel i skredterreng frarådes og enkelte skred kan nå veier og infrastruktur.
