Avalanche risk assessment

Varselet er basert på et enklere datagrunnlag enn regionale varsler og utgis kun for faregrad 4 og 5.
Det ventes store naturlige utløste skred fredag. Det kommer mye snø i kombinasjon med vind som vil bygge opp store fokksnøflak. I naboregioner er det observert et utbredt vedvarende svakt med rimkrystaller. Dette antas også å være tilfelle i regionen Helgeland. Rim gjør at fokksnøflakene blir vesentlig mer ustabile. Hold avstand til alt skredterreng!
