Avalanche warning for region Salten Monday 28.05.2018

Danger level 1 - Low avalanche danger

Published:
Favorable conditions. But remember that small avalanches can be dangerous in terrain traps.

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)

Sunday 27. May 2018

Det har smelta godt og snøgrensa kryper stadig oppover. I ytre strøk og under 900-1100 moh. er det generelt lite/ ikke snø. Høyt til fjells i indre strøk av regionen kan en fortsatt finne sammenhengende skiføre noen steder, og da i øst- og nordvendte terrengformasjoner. Snødekket har sunket sammen og har ingen eller lite lagdeling og er sammensatt av storkorna smelteformer.

Mountain weather

Sunday 27. May 2018

No precipitation. Breeze from southwest. -4 °C to 6 °C at 1400 m a.s.l. Partly cloudy.

Monday 28. May 2018

No precipitation. Calm/light breeze from southeast, changing to strong breeze from the south during the evening. 5 °C to 13 °C at 1400 m a.s.l. Clear skies.

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

Generelt stabile forhold i ett forutsigbart snødekke som har gjennomgått førefall. Hardheten på snøoverflaten og faren for våte løssnøskred vil bli styrt av temperatursvingning gjennom dagen.
