Avalanche warning for region Hardanger Saturday 05.01.2019

Danger level 1 - Low avalanche danger

Published:
Favorable conditions. But remember that even avalanches of medium size can be dangerous in terrain traps.

Avalanche problems

Wet snow (loose snow avalanches)

You can trigger 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)

Friday 4. January 2019

Snødekket er ujevnt fordelt over skoggrensa. Mange steder er det avblåst og hardt, mens i noen leområder ligger det fokksnø som i løpet av torsdag og fredag er påvirket av mildvær og litt regn. Fokksnøen rapporteres å være stabil. I lavlandet er det lite eller ingen snø.

Det finnes et kantkornlag dypt i det gamle smelteomvandlede snødekket men det er ikke et skredproblem slik situasjonen er nå.

Fredag er det plussgrader nesten til topps og lett regn.

Mountain weather

Friday 4. January 2019

15 mm precipitation, up to 50 mm in the most exposed areas. Strong breeze from northwest. -5 °C to 0 °C at 1400 m a.s.l. Cloudy.

Saturday 5. January 2019

3-7 mm precipitation. Strong breeze from northwest, changing to fresh breeze from the northwest Saturday night. -3 °C to 0 °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

Med lite ny nedbør vil snødekket bli gradvis mer stabilt etter å vært påvirket av mildvær en stund. Det kan være mulig å løse ut mindre våte løssnøskred der snøoverflaten er våt og myk.
