Avalanche warning for region Indre Troms Monday 08.06.2020

Danger level 2 - Moderate avalanche danger

Published:
Wet natural avalanches are possible. Be careful in avalanche release and run out areas. Keep distance to run out zones for avalanches and to cornices and areas with glide cracks.

Avalanche problems

Wet snow (slab avalanches)

on a few steep slopes. Avalanches can get large enough to bury a car or destroy a small house (size 3).

Water pooling in/above snow layers

Wet snow (loose snow avalanches)

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

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)

Sunday 7. June 2020

Snøoverflaten er fuktig/våt høyt til fjells. Det ligger mange steder fortsatt mye snø!

Generelt er snødekket i lavlandet smelteomvandlet og drenerer vannet godt. Men høyere til fjells er det lagdeling i snødekket og smeltevann kan hope seg opp innad i snøen.

Det finnes fortsatt store skavler og glidesprekker.

Mountain weather

Sunday 7. June 2020

6-10 mm precipitation. Fresh breeze from southeast. 2 °C to 8 °C at 1100 m a.s.l. Cloudy.

Monday 8. June 2020

2-6 mm precipitation. Fresh breeze from east. -1 °C to 6 °C at 1100 m a.s.l. Partly 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

I høyfjellet kan det danne seg ustabile fokksnøflak i leområder, og i få områder kan disse løsne naturlig.

Nedbør kan øke faren for våte flakskred og glideskred. Unngå områder under glidesprekker.

Vær observant der det er skavler. Disse kan knekke og løse ut skred i fjellsiden under.
