Avalanche warning for region Vest-Telemark Friday 17.12.2021

Danger level 1 - Low avalanche danger

Published:
Be aware of isolated wind slabs, otherwise stable conditions.

Avalanche problems

Wind drifted snow (slab avalanches)

You can 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)

Thursday 16. December 2021

Nedbør og vind har preget regionen siste par døgn. Mildvær gikk opp til ca 1300-1400moh på onsdag, litt lavere torsdag. Under mildværsgrensen er snødekket påvirket av smelteprosesser. I høyfjellet har nysnø og vind lagt opp ferske fokksnøflak i lesider mot N til Ø, vesentlig vest i regionen der det har kommet mest nedbør.

Det er ikke observert svake lag i snødekket.

Honnegrasnuten (1340Moh) har målt V kuling siste par døgn.

Mountain weather

Thursday 16. December 2021

0-3 mm precipitation. Rain up to 900 m a.s.l during the evening. Moderate gale from west, changing to breeze from the west during the evening. -4 °C to 1 °C at 1100 m a.s.l. Partly cloudy.

Friday 17. December 2021

No precipitation. Fresh breeze from northwest, changing to strong breeze from the northwest during the afternoon. -3 °C to 4 °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

Mye vind kan fortsatt gi ustabile fokksnøflak, men gir nok begrenset utbredelse. Generelt vil ikke påvirkningen på snødekket utgjøre noe økt skredfare og snødekket vil gradvis stabiliseres.

Høyere mildværsgrense vil kunne varme opp overflaten og svekke bindinger øverst i den ferske snøen. Dette kan gi enkelte våte løssnøskred, men utbredelsen er nok begrenset.
