Avalanche warning for region Indre Fjordane Friday 26.03.2021

Danger level 2 - Moderate avalanche danger

Published:
Be careful in areas with fresh wind deposited snow. Rain and an increase of temperature can produce small wet avalanches.

Avalanche problems

Wind drifted snow (slab avalanches)

You can easily trigger avalanches on some steep slopes. Avalanches can get large enough to bury or even kill you (size 2).

Buried weak layer of new snow

Wet snow (loose snow avalanches)

on some steep slopes. Avalanches can get large enough to bury or even kill you (size 2).

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 25. March 2021

Nysnøen fra helga er påvirka av høye temperaturer mandag og tirsdag. Overflata antas å være fukta opp til minst 1000 moh. Rygger og fjelltopper er avblåst og det ligger mest fokksnø i leheng mot nord og øst. Det er lite snø for årstida og under tregrensa er det tynt snødekke begrensa skiføre mange steder.

Vedvarande svake lag frå kuldeperioden i januar/februar kan fortsatt være et problem noen steder over 1300 moh.

Natt til torsdag kom det 5-10 cm nysnø over 500 moh.

Mountain weather

Thursday 25. March 2021

9 mm precipitation, up to 16 mm in the most exposed areas. Fresh breeze from southwest. -7 °C to -1 °C at 1400 m a.s.l. Partly cloudy.

Friday 26. March 2021

14 mm precipitation, up to 30 mm in the most exposed areas. Strong breeze from south. -5 °C to 2 °C at 1400 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

Vind fra sør kan gi nye fokksnøflak i andre heng enn de siste dagene, men skredproblemet vurderes uendret. Fokksnøen stabiliseres raskt i gunstige temperaturer. Faren for våte løssnøskred øker i alle himmelretninger der det ligger nysnø fra de siste dager som nå blir våt.

Høgt til fjells kan det finnes svake lag av kantkorn djupt i snødekket i enkelte heng.
