Avalanche warning for region Helgeland Monday 01.04.2024

Danger level 2 - Moderate avalanche danger

Published:
Be aware of isolated wind slabs in alpine terrain. A weak layer of buried surface hoar or facets can be present underneath the wind slabs.

Avalanche problems

Wind drifted snow (slab avalanches)

You can easily trigger 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 31. March 2024

Mildvær søndag har fuktet snøoverflaten i lavlandet. Påfølgende kaldt vær fører nok til skare mange steder. Høyt til fjells er snøoverflaten vindpreget.

Det er observert drønn de siste dagene. Trolig stammer det fra overflaterimlag som har snødd ned. Problemet er veldig lokalt.

Mountain weather

Sunday 31. March 2024

4-5 mm precipitation. Rain up to 1000 m a.s.l during the afternoon. Breeze from east. -4 °C to 2 °C at 1100 m a.s.l. Partly cloudy.

Monday 1. April 2024

Little to no precipitation. Breeze from northeast. -10 °C to -2 °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

Du kan løse ut skred der det har lagt seg fokksnø de siste dagene. Fokksnøen kan ha lagt seg over kantkorn eller overflaterim. Det kan derfor være lett å løse ut skred enkelte steder.

Skredfaren er minkende i lavlandet etter mildvær søndag og nå kaldere vær som stabiliserer snøen.
