Avalanche warning for region Vest-Telemark Tuesday 09.04.2024

Danger level 2 - Moderate avalanche danger

Published:
Wet natural avalanches possible. The avalanche danger stays at the same level as long as the rain continues. Be careful in avalanche release and run out areas.

Avalanche problems

Wet snow (loose snow avalanches)

Avalanches may release spontaneously 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)

Monday 8. April 2024

Mildvêr og regn høgt til fjells har no påverka snøen som kom før helga. Kraftig vind frå sørøst til sørvest har òg gitt noko fersk fokksnø mot nordlege himmelretningar. Snøen er truleg påverka av mildvêr opp til rundt 1500 moh.

Det finst fleire islag nede i snødekket med kantkorn under. Observasjonar fra Valle laurdag viser et kantkornlag over skare, med gode brotforplantningsegenskaper.

Laurdag melder observatør i Vådalen om at det finst kantkornlag som viser evne til brotforplanting.

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

Høge temperaturar og regn påverkar snødekket høgt til fjells. Dette kan gje naturleg utløyste skred i dei høgaste områda som ikkje har hatt så høge temperaturar tidlegare. Det kan gå både våte laussnøskred, men også vedvarande svake lag i snødekket kan bli svekka av mildvêret.
