Avalanche warning for region Romsdal Monday 30.03.2020

Danger level 3 - Considerable avalanche danger

Published:
Be careful in areas with fresh wind deposited snow. Wet avalanches can occur where the snow is wet. Be careful beneath and in the vicinity of cornices.

Avalanche problems

Wind drifted snow (slab avalanches)

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

Poor bonding between layers in wind deposited snow

Wet snow (loose snow avalanches)

on a few steep slopes. Avalanches can get large enough to bury or even kill you (size 2).

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 29. March 2020

Mykje nysnø og kraftig vind siste døgnet har gjeve stor snøtransport til søraustlege heng. Stadvis kan flak ligge på glatt skare danna av mildvêret førre veke.

Det eldre snødekket ber preg av milde temperaturar og påfølgjande tilfrysing i førre veke. I låglandet er snøen generelt grovkorna og stabil.

Observatørar melder sundag om 30-50 cm nysnø siste to døgn, heilt til havnivå.

Mountain weather

Sunday 29. March 2020

15 mm precipitation, up to 20 mm in the most exposed areas. Fresh breeze from northwest. -12 °C to -6 °C at 1400 m a.s.l. Cloudy.

Monday 30. March 2020

4-7 mm precipitation. Breeze from north, changing to fresh breeze from the southwest during the afternoon. -11 °C to -5 °C at 1400 m a.s.l. 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

Det ligg fokksnøflak i søraustlege lesider som treng tid på å stabilisere seg. Stadvis kan desse ligge på glatt skare og soleis lette å løyse ut.

I bratte soleksponerte fjellsider lyt ein forvente våte laussnøskred utover dagen når sola får varma opp snødekket.

Ein lyt vere merksam på at det er store skavlar i aust og nordvendte fjellsider.
