Avalanche risk assessment

Dette varselet er basert på et enklere datagrunnlag enn for varsler for faste regioner.

Mindre nedbør, men kraftig vind fra NV på ettermiddagen vil kunne flytte på siste dagers nysnø og danne ferske ustabile fokksnøansamlinger i sørøst-vendte leformasjoner. Men mengden vil bli noe begrenset og sannsynligheten for naturlig utløste skred synker slik at skredfaren vurderes til til 3-betydelig for mandagen. Men husk at det finnes vedvarende svake lag med kantkorn i området som fører til et komplekst og usikkert snødekke, som vil kunne vare lenge.
