Avalanche warning for region Heiane Saturday 25.05.2019

Danger level 1 - Low avalanche danger

Published:
Small amounts of snow, low avalanche danger.

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)

Friday 24. May 2019

I løpet av den siste uken har det smeltet en del snø. Gjenværende snø er smelteomvandlet og drenerer godt smeltevann. Snøoverflaten er stort sett fuktig, våt og myk.

Snøgrensen kryper oppover. I øst- og nordvendte botner er det sammenhengende snødekke over 1200-1400 moh. I sør og vestvendte områder er det lite eller ingen snø.

Mountain weather

Friday 24. May 2019

5 mm precipitation, up to 10 mm in the most exposed areas. Calm/light breeze from southwest, changing to breeze from the northwest during the afternoon. 0 °C to 7 °C at 1100 m a.s.l. Partly cloudy.

Saturday 25. May 2019

4-7 mm precipitation. Breeze from northwest, changing to fresh breeze from the northwest during the afternoon. 1 °C to 6 °C at 1100 m a.s.l. 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

Det som er igjen av snø ventes å tåle regnværet bra. Her og det kan det kanskje løse en våt snøball eller to i brattterreng, men det omfanget begrenses av at det nå er lite snø igjen i terrenget mange steder.
