Avalanche warning for region Voss Saturday 25.05.2019

Danger level 1 - Low avalanche danger

Published:
Favorable conditions. Rain and heat give increased danger of wet avalanches. Glide avalanches are possible.

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)

Friday 24. May 2019

I løpet av den siste uken har det smeltet en del snø. Gjenværende snø er smelteomvandlet og drenerer godt smeltevann. Snøoverflaten er stort sett fuktig, våt og myk.

Snøgrensen kryper oppover. I øst- og nordvendte botner er det sammenhengende snødekke over 1200-1400 moh. I sør og vestvendte områder er det lite eller ingen snø.

Mountain weather

Friday 24. May 2019

2-5 mm precipitation. Calm/light breeze from west, changing to breeze from the northwest during the afternoon. 0 °C to 7 °C at 1100 m a.s.l. Partly cloudy.

Saturday 25. May 2019

6-10 mm precipitation. Breeze from west, changing to fresh breeze from the northwest during the afternoon. 0 °C to 5 °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 som er igjen av snø ventes å tåle regnværet bra. Her og det kan det kanskje løse en våt snøball eller to i brattterreng, men det omfanget begrenses av at det nå er lite snø igjen i terrenget mange steder.
På de høyeste toppene kan nedbøren komme som snø, men det ventes ikke påvirke snøskredfaren.

Vær fremdeles oppmerksom i områder med sigeprekker. Glideskred kan forekomme.
