Avalanche warning for region Heiane Monday 06.05.2019

Danger level 1 - Low avalanche danger

Published:
Little snow and stable conditions. Certain small loose snow can occur in steep, sunny slopes during the day.

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)

Sunday 5. 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 nysnødryss 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

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.

Monday 6. May 2019

1-4 mm precipitation. 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

Lite ny nedbør fører til at skredfaren holdes uendret. Skredproblemet ventes å være enkelte små naturlig utløste løssnøskred i bratt og solvendt terreng når dagen er på det varmeste.
