Avalanche warning for region Salten Wednesday 04.05.2022

Danger level 2 - Moderate avalanche danger

Published:
Use caution on wind loaded slopes. Avalanches are generally hard to trigger.

Avalanche problems

Wind drifted snow (slab avalanches)

You can 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)

Tuesday 3. May 2022

Mandag og tirsdag var det snøbyger til havnivå.

Mandag ettermiddag/kveld var det kortvarig kraftig vind og stor snøtransport.

Det har vært store forskjeller i nysnømengde og vindstyrke innad i regionen.

Søndag fuktet mildvær snødekket opp til omtrent 700 - 800 moh.

I nordvendte sider i indre deler av regionen over 1000 moh. kan det fortsatt være vedvarende svake lag i det gamle snødekket, men det vurderes ikke til å være et aktivt skredproblem.

Mountain weather

Tuesday 3. May 2022

4-8 mm precipitation. Precipitation as snow. Fresh breeze from northwest, changing to breeze from the northwest during the evening. -10 °C to -3 °C at 1100 m a.s.l. Partly cloudy.

Wednesday 4. May 2022

2-5 mm precipitation. Rain up to 100 m a.s.l. Breeze from west, changing to breeze from the southeast during the evening. -10 °C to -4 °C at 1100 m a.s.l. Partly 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 er knyttet til områder med fokksnøflak. Disse vil generelt være vanskelig å påvirke.

Bygevær kan gjøre at det lokalt kan være store forskjeller i nysnømengde.
