Avalanche warning for region Romsdal Saturday 27.05.2023

Danger level 1 - Low avalanche danger

Published:
Rain and rising temperatures give increased danger of wet avalanches in areas with new snow from the last days. Elsewhere generally stable conditions.

Avalanche problems

Wet snow (loose snow avalanches)

Avalanches may release spontaneously 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. May 2023

Fredag morgen er det nysnøgrense på ca 700moh. I høyden på indre strøk er det kommet 20-40cm snø. Eldre snø er smelteomvandlet, grovkornet og fuktig eller våt. Varmt vær har tæret på det gamle snødekket. Det er generelt bart under 700 moh, men snøgrensen kan variere. Snøgrensen var før siste snøfall lavest i skyggesider, i noen nordvendte sider ned til 400 moh.

Eldre svake lag er i hovedsak smeltet vekk, men det kan være rester av islag i snøen.

Mountain weather

Friday 26. May 2023

2-5 mm precipitation. Rain up to 1100 m a.s.l during the evening. Fresh breeze from west, changing to fresh breeze from the southwest during the afternoon. -6 °C to 1 °C at 1400 m a.s.l. Partly cloudy.

Saturday 27. May 2023

4-7 mm precipitation. Rain up to 1600 m a.s.l during renoon. Strong breeze from southwest, changing to moderate gale from the southwest during the evening. -1 °C to 4 °C at 1400 m a.s.l. 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

Våte løssnøskred kan løsne lett eller av seg selv når temperaturene stiger og det kommer regn på nysnøen fra de siste dagene.

Der det fortsatt er igjen skavler kan det være fare for skavlbrudd. Enkelte glideskred kan forekomme der det ligger igjen snø på bratte svaberg.

Under nysnøgrensen er snøen smelteomvandlet og stort sett stabil.
