Avalanche risk assessment

Fortsatt stedvis mye nedbør i kombinasjon med sterk vind vil legge opp fersk fokksnø i leområder i høyden over mildværgrensen. Mest utsatt de steder der det kommer mest ny snø. Fortsatt kan det gå noen naturlig utløste skred.

I lavlandet vil det fortsatt kunne løsne våte skred.
