Avalanche warning for region Nord-Trøndelag Friday 02.02.2024

Danger level 3 - Considerable avalanche danger

Published:
Rising temperatures and rain will give risk of large natural wet slab avalanches. Avoid all avalanche terrain.
  • The danger is greatest from Friday afternoon

Avalanche problems

Wet snow (slab avalanches)

Avalanches may release spontaneously on some steep slopes. Avalanches can get large enough to bury a car or destroy a small house (size 3).

Water pooling in/above snow layers

Wet snow (loose snow avalanches)

Avalanches may release spontaneously on many steep slopes. Avalanches can get large enough to bury or even kill you (size 2).

Avalanche risk assessment

Nysnømengdene i forkant av mildværet tilsier ikke at det kan gå svært store skred, og varselet er derfor nedgradert.

Det ventes likevel store naturlig utløste skred i noen heng. Det har kommet jevnt med snø i fjellet den siste uken, og nå blir snødekket påvirket av mildvær og regn høyt til fjells.

Mest utsatt er leheng mot øst, som sannsynligvis har samlet mest snø den siste uken, men skred kan løsne i alle himmelretninger.

Det ventes også mange middels store våte løssnøskred.

All ferdsel i skredterreng frarådes.

Skredfaren øker utover dagen etter hvert som nedbøren øker og temperaturen stiger. Nordlige deler av Nord-Trøndelag er mest utsatt.
