Avalanche warning for region Sør-Troms Monday 13.05.2024

Danger level 1 - Low avalanche danger

Published:
Generally stable conditions but be cautious in steep slopes with wet snow and avoid areas with glide cracks.

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)

Sunday 12. May 2024

Plussgrader og regn nådde fjelltoppene i helgen, og snødekket har tidligere blitt gjennomfuktet høyt til fjells. Det gamle snødekke er stort sett smelteomvandlet og stabilt.

Rundt de høyeste toppene og i enkelte skyggesider finnes det fortsatt lagdelt snø med harde skarelag fra tidligere i vinter.
Under skoggrensen er relativt lite snø igjen mange steder.

Mountain weather

Sunday 12. May 2024

12-16 mm precipitation. Precipitation as rain. Fresh breeze from southwest. 0 °C to 5 °C at 700 m a.s.l. Cloudy.

Monday 13. May 2024

8 mm precipitation, up to 16 mm in the most exposed areas. Precipitation as rain. Fresh breeze from southwest. 2 °C to 7 °C at 700 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

Forholdene i regionen er nå generelt stabile. Regn og plussgrader høyt til fjells vil øke vanninnholdet i snøen. I svært bratt terreng kan små skred utløses, og enkelte naturlig utløste skred kan forekomme under bratte klippepartier.

Vi er fortsatt i en periode hvor glideskred kan forekomme. Unngå områder under synlige glidesprekker og hvor snøen ligger på bratte svaberg.
