Avalanche warning for region Heiane Thursday 02.05.2019

Danger level 1 - Low avalanche danger

Published:
Small amounts of snow, low avalanche danger.

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)

Wednesday 1. May 2019

Litt nedbør siste døgnet, men snødekket er i all hovedsak smelteomvandla og stabilt. Det har vore høg avsmelting sidan før påske i fjellet og ein må over 1100 moh for å finne samanhengande snødekke. Under dette høgdenivået er det lite eller ingen snø.

Mountain weather

Wednesday 1. May 2019

Little to no precipitation. Breeze from northwest, changing to strong breeze from the northwest during the evening. 1 °C to 5 °C at 1100 m a.s.l. Partly cloudy.

Thursday 2. May 2019

2-4 mm precipitation. Fresh breeze from northwest. -5 °C to 1 °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

Låg temperatur og vind er gunstig for stabilisering og uttørking av snødekket. Ein må dog framleis vere merksam på at ein kan løyse ut mindre våte laussnøskred i bratt lende.
Glideskred og skalvbrot kan òg førekomme.
