Avalanche warning for region Heiane Monday 29.04.2019

Danger level 1 - Low avalanche danger

Published:
Favorable conditions. Warm daytime-temperatures and solar radiation give increased danger of wet avalanches.

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)

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 28. April 2019

Det har vært høye temperaturer i fjellet siste periode og snødekket er i all hovedsak smelteomvandlet og stabilt.
En må over 1100 moh for å finne sammenhengende snødekke, under dette høydenivået er det lite eller ingen snø.


Ved Blåsjø målestasjon (1105 moh) i Bykle er det ikke målt minusgrader siste tre døgn.

Mountain weather

Sunday 28. April 2019

10 mm precipitation, up to 20 mm in the most exposed areas. Fresh breeze from east. 4 °C to 11 °C at 1100 m a.s.l. Cloudy.

Monday 29. April 2019

No precipitation. Breeze from east. 2 °C to 12 °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

Høy temperatur uten særlig nattefrost gjør at snødekket fremdeles er noe ustabilt og vil mange steder fremstå som råttent. Faren for naturlig utløste skred vil avta, men i bratt snødekt terreng vil det fremdeles være sannsynlig med skredaktivitet ved skiferdsel.
Vær oppmerksom på skavlbrekk.
