Avalanche warning for region Voss Monday 29.03.2021

Danger level 3 - Considerable avalanche danger

Published:
Wet natural avalanches are expected. The avalanche danger stays at the same level as long as the rain continues. Avoid avalanche release and run out areas.

Avalanche problems

Wet snow (slab avalanches)

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

Water pooling in/above snow layers

Persistent weak layer (slab avalanches)

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

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 28. March 2021

Mange stader ligg det fersk fokksnø oppå snø som er smelteomdanna. Toppar og ryggar er avblåst eller er dekka av skare. Det er lite snø for årstida i regionen. Snøgrensa er på rundt 500 moh.

Kantkorn danna i kuldeperioda i januar/februar kan framleis vere eit problem høgt til fjells.

På Vikafjellet er det til dels store skavler mot nord og aust.

Mountain weather

Sunday 28. March 2021

6 mm precipitation, up to 12 mm in the most exposed areas. Strong breeze from south, changing to strong breeze from the west during the afternoon. -6 °C to 0 °C at 1100 m a.s.l. Cloudy.

Monday 29. March 2021

40 mm precipitation, up to 65 mm in the most exposed areas. Fresh breeze from south, changing to strong breeze from the southwest during renoon. -1 °C to 4 °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

Mykje regn heilt opp til fjelltopphøgde vil gjennomvæte fokksnøflak og kan føre til naturleg utløyste våte flakskred. Leformasjonane der fokksnøflak har bygde seg opp over tette skarelag dei siste dagane er mest utsett.

Der svakt lag av kantkorn ligg djupt i snødekket kan regnvêret gi stor nok tilleggsbelastning til å løyse ut skred. Problemet er truleg avgrensa til enkelte heng høgt til fjells, men skred på dette laget kan bli store.
