Avalanche warning for region Finnmarkskysten Saturday 27.04.2024

Danger level 1 - Low avalanche danger

Published:
Be alert to conditions that change throughout the day and with elevation and sun exposure. Expect wet loose activity in steep, southerly aspects, sheltered from the cooling wind.

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)

Friday 26. April 2024

Snøoverflaten er generelt gjennfryst, hardt og isete og preges av nattefrost og solpåvirkning om dagen. Litt vindtransport av snø i ytre strøk dannet noen isolerte fokksnøflak i nordvestvendte terreng tidligere i uken. Disse burde ha stabilisert seg nå.

Mountain weather

Friday 26. April 2024

Little to no precipitation. Calm/light breeze from east, changing to fresh breeze from the east during the afternoon. -9 °C to -1 °C at 700 m a.s.l. Clear skies.

Saturday 27. April 2024

Little to no precipitation. Fresh breeze from east. -7 °C to -3 °C at 700 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

Skredfaren varier i løpet av døgnet og styres av sola. Små våte løssnøskred kan løses ut når solinnstråling varmer opp snøen og gi våt og løs overflate. Mest utsatt er lune formasjoner i bratt, sørvendt terreng. Vær oppmerksom at konsekvensen for å bli revet med kan bli stor over klipper eller skog.
