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)

Oppklaring og mulighet for solgløtt sent på dagen. Fortsatt mildt høyt til fjells. Det i kombinasjon med tirsdagens regn vil gjøre snøen våt eller fuktig.

I fjellet finnes det kantkorn i snødekket og ved bakken, men disse er ikke noe problem pr nå.

Det er ikke rapportert om fersk skredaktivitet eller andre faretegn de siste dager
