Avalanche warning for region Vest-Telemark Tuesday 21.05.2019

Danger level 1 - Low avalanche danger

Published:
Favorable conditions. Warm weather and rain give possibility of some small wet avalanches.

Avalanche problems

Wet snow (loose snow avalanches)

You can easily trigger avalanches on some 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)

Monday 20. May 2019

Det er lite snø igjen i terrenget og man må stort sett over 1100-1300 moh for å finne sammenhengende skiføre.
Hele snødekket består nå i hovedsak av smelteomvandlet snø og er stabilt.

Siste tiden har det vært høye temperaturer både natt og dag i regionen.

Mountain weather

Monday 20. May 2019

Little to no precipitation. Breeze from northeast. 4 °C to 13 °C at 1100 m a.s.l. Partly cloudy.

Tuesday 21. May 2019

5 mm precipitation, up to 15 mm in the most exposed areas. Breeze from east. 6 °C to 15 °C at 1100 m a.s.l. 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 minker med snø i regionen, og forholdene er generelt stabile. Nedbør som regn og fortsatt høye temperaturer gjør at det vil være lett å løse ut enkelte små våte løssnøskred i bratt terreng.
