Avalanche warning for region Heiane Wednesday 13.03.2024

Danger level 2 - Moderate avalanche danger

Published:
High temperature and rain elevate the danger of wet avalanches.
  • The danger is greatest from Wednesday evening

Avalanche problems

Wet snow (slab avalanches)

Avalanches may release spontaneously on a few steep slopes. Avalanches can get large enough to bury or even kill you (size 2).

Water pooling in/above snow layers

Wet snow (loose snow avalanches)

Avalanches may release spontaneously 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)

Loose snow

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)

Tuesday 12. March 2024

Snøen er hard og bærande dei fleste stader i fjellet. Mykje av det er smelteomdanna og grovkorna. Aust i regionen er det noko meir finkorna snø i overflate etter siste snøfall. Etter vind og nedbør frå både austlege og vestlege vindar siste tida, er det det no leområder i nær sagt alle hengretningar.

Mountain weather

Tuesday 12. March 2024

No precipitation. Fresh breeze from east. -6 °C to 0 °C at 1100 m a.s.l. Partly cloudy.

Wednesday 13. March 2024

18 mm precipitation, up to 30 mm in the most exposed areas. Precipitation as rain. Moderate gale from southeast, changing to strong breeze from the southwest during the evening. -3 °C to 2 °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

Mildvêr og regn til topps gir fare for våte skred.
Utpå ettermiddagen og kvelden kan det hope seg opp med vatn i snøen og i høgda kan våte flak lausne av seg sjølv.
Det vil truleg være aktuelt i alle himmelretningar, da fokksnøflak har lagt seg opp etter både vestlege og austlege vindar siste tida.
Det er venta at snøen lågt i fjellet vil tåle mykje regn, men i dei områda som får mest nedbør kan det lausne små våte laussnøskred.
