Avalanche warning for region Sunnmøre Sunday 28.05.2023

Danger level 1 - Low avalanche danger

Published:
There will be some new snow and strong winds, but conditions are generally stable. Wind slabs might be possible to trigger in a few sheltered formations.

Avalanche problems

New snow (slab avalanches)

You can easily trigger avalanches on a few steep slopes. Avalanches are relatively harmless to people, but can knock you off balance. Can be dangerous close to terrain traps. (size 1)

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 27. May 2023

Fredag morgen var det nysnøgrense med snødryss ned på ca 750 moh, i høyden kan det ha kommet noe mer. Eldre snø var før dette smelteomvandlet, grovkornet og fuktig eller våt. Det er generelt bart under 750 moh, men snøgrensen kan variere. Snøgrensen er lavest i skyggesider, noen steder går den ned til 400 moh.

Eldre svake lag har i hovedsak smeltet vekk, men det kan være rester av islag i snøen.

Torsdag formiddag snør det over tregrensen på Strandafjellet.

Mountain weather

Saturday 27. May 2023

10 mm precipitation, up to 15 mm in the most exposed areas. Rain up to 1600 m a.s.l during renoon. Strong breeze from southwest. -2 °C to 4 °C at 1400 m a.s.l. Cloudy.

Sunday 28. May 2023

6 mm precipitation, up to 15 mm in the most exposed areas. Rain up to 900 m a.s.l Sunday night. Moderate gale from west, changing to fresh breeze from the northwest during the evening. -6 °C to 1 °C at 1400 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

Nysnøgrensen synker utover søndagen. Noe nysnø i kombinasjon med kraftig vind kan danne små ustabile fokksnøflak i fjellet mens været står på. Deretter vil snøen stabilisere seg relativt raskt.

Der det fortsatt er igjen skavler kan det være fare for skavlbrudd.
