Avalanche warning for region Vest-Telemark Wednesday 08.05.2019

Danger level 1 - Low avalanche danger

Published:
Generally stabile conditions. Be aware in sun-exposed aspects for natural triggered avalanches.

Avalanche problems

Wet snow (loose snow avalanches)

You can trigger avalanches on a few steep slopes. Avalanches are relatively harmless to people, but can knock you off balance. Can be dangerous close to terrain traps. (size 1)

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)

Tuesday 7. May 2019

Snødekkket er gjennomfrosset med stedvis noe vindtransportert snø på toppen. Snømengdene minket betydelig forrige uke, og man finner nå sammenhengende skiføre fra ca 1100 moh. Mest snø er det i hellinger mot nord til øst. Utover dagen blir snødekket mykt i sider vendt mot sør.

Natt til tirsdag var det fra 4 til 8 minusgrader i regionen.

Mountain weather

Tuesday 7. May 2019

Little to no precipitation. Fresh breeze from northwest. -6 °C to 1 °C at 1100 m a.s.l. Partly cloudy.

Wednesday 8. May 2019

Little to no precipitation. Calm/light breeze from west, changing to breeze from the east during the evening. -8 °C to 3 °C at 1100 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

Nattefrost gir stort sett tilfrosset snødekke som bløtes litt opp utover dagen, spesielt i solhellingene. Generelt vil faren for våtsnøskred og skavlbrekk være liten, og kun være aktuelt i bratte solhellinger der det fortsatt ligger igjen snø.
