Warning from MET Norway for Nord-Salten

2

Strong wind gusts, yellow level (MET)

Published: Valid: from 24.03.2021 12:00 to 24.03.2021 19:00

Warning

Wind gusts

Consequence

Loose items may be taken by the wind. Possibly cancelled departures for ferry, plane, or other transport. Bridges may be closed. Some journeys may have longer travel times. Blowing snow at higher altitudes causes reduced visibility and possibly convoys and/or closed roads. The strong wind may cause locally high waves in fjords and lakes.

Advice

Secure loose objects. Avoid unnecessary journeys to exposed places. Follow advice and check status from transport operators. Check road reports (175.no). Be careful in coastal areas.

Description

Wednesday afternoon southwest, later west, storm force 10 with local gust up to 35 m/s.
