Avalanche warning for region Indre Fjordane Saturday 27.05.2023

Danger level 1 - Low avalanche danger

Published:
Rain and rising temperatures give increased danger of wet avalanches in areas with new snow from the last days. Elsewhere generally stable conditions.

Avalanche problems

Wet snow (loose snow avalanches)

Avalanches may release spontaneously 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 26. May 2023

Fredag har det kommet noe nysnø fra omtrent 750 moh og oppover. Snøgrensa varierer i regionen og er høyest i sørvendte hellinger og lengst ut mot kysten. Stedvis er det samenhengende snø fra 600-700 moh. Eldre snø er hovedsaklig fuktig eller våt, grovkorna smelteomvandla snø.

Eldre svake lag i snødekket har i hovedsak smelta, men det kan vere enkelte islag i snødekket.

Mountain weather

Friday 26. May 2023

10 mm precipitation, up to 15 mm in the most exposed areas. Rain up to 1200 m a.s.l during the evening. Fresh breeze from west. -4 °C to 3 °C at 1400 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

Våte løssnøskred kan løsna når det kommer regn på nysnø som har kommet de siste dagene. Enkelte skred kan også løsne av seg selv.

Gammelt snødekke drenerer godt, og vil trolig tåle regnet som kommer. Enkelte skred i område uten nysnø kan likevel ikke utelukkes.

Vær oppmerksom på at der det henger igjen skavler kan det være fare for at skavlene kan brekke og falle ned. Der det ligger igjen snø på bratte svaberg kan det også være fare for glideskred.
