Avalanche warning for region Voss Sunday 07.06.2020

Danger level 2 - Moderate avalanche danger

Published:
The snowmelting gives conditions for wet avalanches. Most likely in the afternoon, but by gliding cracks also possibly in nighttime.

Avalanche problems

Glide avalanches

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

Wet snow/melting near the ground

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)

Saturday 6. June 2020

Snødekket har falt mykje saman siste tida. Snøgrensa har trekt lang oppover og er varierande etter himmelretning og terrengform. I snøfylte områder er det skiføre frå omlag skoggrensa. Høgfjellet har mykje snø for årstida, og der snødekket er tjukt er snøen fortsatt delvis lagdelt. Tynnare snødekke er grovkorna utan lagdeling og meir råtten. Mange av dei store toppskavlane har ramla ned, men fortsatt mykje igjen. Sigesprekker er utbredt.

Mountain weather

Saturday 6. June 2020

4-8 mm precipitation. Breeze from east. 2 °C to 8 °C at 1100 m a.s.l. Partly cloudy.

Sunday 7. June 2020

10 mm precipitation, up to 18 mm in the most exposed areas. Calm/light breeze from northwest. 1 °C to 8 °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

Litt kaldare vær, men noko regn opprettheld snøsmeltinga. Smeltevatnet sett fart på sigesprekker, det gjør bindingane i snøen svakare og kan gi opphopning av vatn over harde lag i snøen. Alt dette gir forhold for våte skred.

Det er truleg glideskred som vil være mest utbredt. Dei er vanskeleg å forutsjå og kan lausne heile døgnet sjølv om snøsmeltinga er låg.
