Avalanche warning for region Helgeland Friday 15.02.2019

Danger level 3 - Considerable avalanche danger

Published:

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.

Mountain weather

Thursday 14. February 2019

30 mm precipitation, up to 60 mm in the most exposed areas. Strong gale from southwest. -5 °C to -1 °C at 1400 m a.s.l. Cloudy.

Avalanche risk assessment

Fortsatt mye nedbør og vind tidlig på dagen vil opprettholde skredproblemene fra torsdag, men når temperaturen synker og nedbøren avtar vil nysnøproblemet flytte seg nedover fjellsidene og sjansen for naturlig utløste skred avta noe. Vi venter betydlig skredfare (faregrad-3) på fredag.
