Mountain weather

10 mm precipitation, up to 20 mm in the most exposed areas. Moderate gale from southwest. 0 °C to 3 °C at 1100 m a.s.l. Cloudy.

Avalanche risk assessment

Det ventes at de fleste skred har løsnet i løpet av fredag og lørdag, men det kan fortsatt forekomme enkelte naturlig utløste våte skred. Synkende temperatur vil medføre en gradvis stabilisering av den våte snøen og skredfaren vurderes til 3-betydelig. I høyden, der nedbøren nå kommer som snø, kan det danne seg ferske fokksnøflak, men disse ventes å binde seg raskt til underlaget.
