Avalanche warning for region Finnmarkskysten Friday 23.04.2021

Danger level 1 - Low avalanche danger

Published:
Snow showers could create fresh wind slabs in isolated areas, but in general stable conditions.

Avalanche problems

Wind drifted snow (slab 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)

Thursday 22. April 2021

Kaldere vær gjør at det har dannet seg en skare over våt smelteomvandlet snø mange steder. I nordlige deler av regionen er det lite snø i lavlandet med en del oppstikkende stein på rygger og hauger.

Det finnes vedvarende svake lag av kantkorn i tilknytning til skarelag og ved bakken. I lavlandet er lagene gjennomfuktet. Det skal mye til for å få noen respons i de svake lagene, men det kan være mulig der snødekket er tynt.

Mountain weather

Thursday 22. April 2021

1-3 mm precipitation. Breeze from northwest. -7 °C to -3 °C at 700 m a.s.l. Cloudy.

Friday 23. April 2021

1-4 mm precipitation. Breeze from northwest, changing to strong breeze from the northwest during the evening. -8 °C to -2 °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

Generelt stabile forhold. Bygevær gjør at det kan legge seg opp ferske fokksnøflak i enkelte heng, vær spesielt forsiktig hvis det ligger fersk fokksnø over solskare.
