Forecast issued by NVE and MET for Narvik Friday 2023-01-27

Debris avalanches, debris flows and slush slides warning yellow level for store deler av Nordland og sørlige Troms (NVE)

• Danger ongoing: Friday morning 27. Jan. 2023
• Danger decrease: Saturday morning 28. Jan. 2023
• Height: 0 - 600 moh

General unstable conditions. At higher elevations naturally released wind slabs are expected. While at lower elevations there will be natural wet avalanches in the afternoon. (NVE)

The stability is expected to decrease through the day when the new snow gets wet from rain. Unstable wind slabs may be found on a slick crust at higher elevations and naturally released avalanches are possible where wind loading is greatest. (NVE)

The avalanche danger increases when the rain sets in. Avoid potential release areas and runout areas for avalanches. At higher altitudes avoid areas with wind-deposited snow, typically behind ridges, ribs and in gullies. (NVE)
