Avalanche warning for region Sør-Troms Friday 24.05.2024

Danger level 1 - Low avalanche danger

Published:
Generally stable conditions. Be careful in steep terrain if the snow is wet and loose. If so, it could be possible to trigger small wet loose avalanches. Steep, sunexposed terrain without wind is most likely to have wet and loose snow.

Avalanche problems

Wet snow (loose snow 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)

Thursday 23. May 2024

Overflata er våt etter noen dager med varmt vær. Stedvis ligger det rester etter nysnøen som kom tidlig i uka. Snødekket er i all hovedsak smelteomdannet og grovkornet. Snøgrensen kryper stadig oppover og i sørvendte heng er det bart høyt til fjells. Skiferdsel er krevende på grunn av råtten snø, særlig rundt framstikkende steiner og svake snøbroer over elver.

Mountain weather

Thursday 23. May 2024

3-5 mm precipitation. Precipitation as rain. Breeze from south, changing to fresh breeze from the southwest during the afternoon. 2 °C to 16 °C at 700 m a.s.l. Cloudy.

Friday 24. May 2024

Little to no precipitation. Fresh breeze from west, changing to breeze from the west during the evening. -1 °C to 7 °C at 700 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

I lune, bratte heng som får mye sol kan det være lett å løse ut små, våte skred. Ellers er snødekket generelt stabilt. Husk at selv små skred kan få deg ut av balanse og ha store konsekvenser om du er på feil sted, slik som i nærheten av terrengfeller.

Hold god avstand til skavler.
