Avalanche warning for region Helgeland Sunday 26.03.2023

Danger level 2 - Moderate avalanche danger

Published:
Be aware that there can be pockets with persistent weak layers and unstable wind slabs.
Small loose avalanches may occur on steep slopes exposed to the sun.

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)

Saturday 25. March 2023

Under skoggrensen og i skjermede formasjoner er det generelt løs ubunden snø og fint skiføre. Over skoggrensen og i åpne områder er det store lokale forskjeller i hvor vindpreget snøoverflaten er, alt fra myk til hard fokksnø.

Kalde temperaturer har ført til dannelse av kantkorn rundt skarelag under fokksnø. Det er usikkert i hvor stor grad dette har utviklet seg til et reelt skredproblem enda, vi har fått inn få faretegn på dette så langt.

Mountain weather

Saturday 25. March 2023

2 mm precipitation, up to 10 mm in the most exposed areas. Precipitation as snow. Breeze from north, changing to fresh breeze from the southwest during the afternoon. -23 °C to -10 °C at 1100 m a.s.l. Partly cloudy.

Sunday 26. March 2023

2-6 mm precipitation. Precipitation as snow. Fresh breeze from southeast. -17 °C to -9 °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

Det er mulig å løse ut skred der det la seg fokksnø tidligere i uka. Litt vind og nysnø kan gi noen nye fokksnøflak, men de er trolig få og små.
