Avalanche warning for region Romsdal Monday 25.02.2019

Danger level 2 - Moderate avalanche danger

Published:
High temperature and rain elevate the danger of wet avalanches.

Avalanche problems

Wet snow (slab avalanches)

You can trigger avalanches on some steep slopes. Avalanches can get large enough to bury or even kill you (size 2).

Water pooling in/above snow layers

Glide avalanches

You can trigger avalanches on a few steep slopes. Avalanches can get large enough to bury a car or destroy a small house (size 3).

Wet snow/melting near the ground

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)

Sunday 24. February 2019

Snødekket er smelteomdanna og i hovudsak stabilisert opp til omlag 1000 - 1200moh. Snøen er gradvis meir finkorna og lagdelt til høgare ein kjem. Snøgrensa kryp oppover og mange ryggar og høgdedrag er bare.

Det er svake lag av (fuktig) kantkorn i samband med skarelag i snødekket over omlag 1000 moh.

Laurdag er det observert glideskred ved Veslfjellet i Romsdalen

Søndag er det litt nysnø på toppane, over ca 1100 moh

Mountain weather

Sunday 24. February 2019

5-7 mm precipitation. Strong breeze from west. -5 °C to 1 °C at 1400 m a.s.l. Partly cloudy.

Monday 25. February 2019

3-7 mm precipitation. Breeze from southwest, changing to fresh breeze from the southwest during the afternoon. -4 °C to 2 °C at 1400 m a.s.l. Partly 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

Varmare vær vil igjen gje smelting og vassmetting i snødekket til topps, men det er venta at snødekket no er meir grovkorna og vil såleis drenere ut vatnet betre. Smeltinga gir mindre lagdeling i snødekket og svake lag blir gradvis stabilisert. Gjenfrysing av snødekket kun på dei høgaste toppane. Små laussnøskred vil truleg gå i laussnøen frå søndag. Det er forhold for glideskred der det er sigesprekker.
