Avalanche warning for region Vest-Telemark Saturday 06.06.2020

Danger level 1 - Low avalanche danger

Published:
The snowmelting gives conditions for small wet avalanches. Most likely in the afternoon

Avalanche problems

Wet snow (loose snow avalanches)

You can easily 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)

Friday 5. June 2020

Snødekket har falt mykje saman i det siste og snøen trekk oppover. Snøgrensa er varierande etter himmelretning og terrengform. Høgfjellet har fortsatt mykje snø for årstida, og der snødekket er tjukt kan snøen fortsatt ha lagdeling. Tynnare snødekke er grovkorna utan lagdeling og meir råtten. Det er fortsatt store toppskavlar enkelte stader, sjølv om mange har ramla ned. Det er færre sigesprekker å sjå, men fortsatt nokre att.

Mountain weather

Friday 5. June 2020

20 mm precipitation, up to 40 mm in the most exposed areas. Moderate gale from east, changing to breeze from the southeast during the evening. 2 °C to 7 °C at 1100 m a.s.l. Cloudy.

Saturday 6. June 2020

2-5 mm precipitation. Breeze from north. 1 °C to 8 °C at 1100 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

Kjøligare vær bremsar snøsmeltinga. Det kan likevel være lett å løyse ut små våte laussnøskred i bratt terreng. Ellers stabilt.

Ved sigesprekker er det forhold for glideskred.

Oppdemming av smeltevatn til små innsjøar i snødekket er aktuelt der terrenget tillêt det. Slike demningar kan briste og gi sørpeskred eller brååpning av bekkar og elvar. Vær derfor merksam i terreng som leier vatn, spesielt på ettermiddag og kveld.
