Avalanche warning for region Heiane Friday 01.03.2019

Danger level 1 - Low avalanche danger

Published:
Favourable conditions. Sun may give some small wet avalanches in the afternoon. Keep distance to areas with glide-cracks and be aware of weak cornices.

Avalanche problems

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)

Thursday 28. February 2019

Snøen er smelteomvandlet i lavlandet og gradvis mer lagdelt med høyden. Det har vært mildvær til topps, men over ca. 1200 moh og oppover blir skarelaget tynnere og sprøere. Snøgrensen har krøpet oppover, og mange rygger og kuler er bare. Mer snø i indre deler av regionen, i ytre er det langt å gå til skiføre.

Etter mildværet er det ikke aktive svake lag i snødekket.

Det ble meldt om et glideskred i Sirdalsheiane tirsdag.

Mountain weather

Thursday 28. February 2019

No precipitation. Fresh breeze from northwest, changing to breeze from the northwest during the afternoon. -6 °C to -1 °C at 1100 m a.s.l. Clear skies.

Friday 1. March 2019

No precipitation. -9 °C to -2 °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

Synkende temperaturer gjennom natten vil gi tilfrysing av det tidligere våte snødekket, og dette virker stabiliserende på snøen. Sol kan utover dagen gi noen mindre, våte skred i noen få bratte heng som vender mot S og V.

Der snødekket er gjennomvått kan det være en viss fare for glideskred, men synkende temperaturer gjør at smeltingen og dermed faren avtar noe.

Ellers er snødekket generelt stabilt.
