Avalanche warning for region Heiane Sunday 05.05.2019

Danger level 1 - Low avalanche danger

Published:
Stable conditions and little snow. In steep terrain, there might be some small loose avalanches when temperature rise.

Avalanche problems

New 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)

Saturday 4. May 2019

Varme og stor snøsmelting fra før påske, gjør at man må over 1100 moh for å finne sammenhengende snødekke. Her består snødekket av smelteformer med stedvis noe nysnø over. Snødekket regnes som stabilt og ny snø vil stort sett smelte på bakken der det ikke ligger snø fra tidligere.

Ingen svake lag av betydning.

Observasjoner 2. mai viser lite snø selv høyt til fjells.

Mountain weather

Saturday 4. May 2019

Little to no precipitation. Fresh breeze from north. -9 °C to 1 °C at 1100 m a.s.l. Partly cloudy.

Sunday 5. May 2019

4 mm precipitation, up to 10 mm in the most exposed areas. Fresh breeze from northwest. -6 °C to 0 °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

Litt nedbør og vind kan legge opp mindre fokksnøflak i øst og sørøstlige leområder i høyfjellet, men disse forventes å ha liten utbredelse. Enkelte mindre våte løssnøskred kan forventes i bratte heng når dagen er på det varmeste de steder det lå snødekke fra tidligere.
