Avalanche risk assessment

Dette varselet er basert på et enklere datagrunnlag enn for varsler for faste regioner. Det utgis kun for faregrad 4 og 5.
Fredag ble det observert drønn i snøen og vedvarende svake lag med kantkorn som har utviklet seg rundt skarelag.

Det har kommet mye nedbør lørdag, og dette vedvarer søndag. Nedbøren kommer som regn under 800 moh og som snø i høyden. I kombinasjon med vind opp i stiv kuling, vil vi få faregrad 4 - stor skredfare, de mest utsatte områdene. Dette gjelder særlig høyereliggende strøk i Ryfylkeheiane.

Der nysnøflakene legger seg oppå vedvarende svake lag med kantkorn, kan skredene bli store.
Første del av dagen vil vinden være sterkest og komme fra SV.
Mest utsatt himmelretning vil være nordøstvendte leformasjoner.
Vær oppmerksom på at vinden dreier til NV om ettermiddagen og avtar noe.
