Avalanche warning for region Finnmarkskysten Thursday 04.04.2024

Danger level 2 - Moderate avalanche danger

Published:
Showers will result in local differences in new snow amount and danger level within the region. Most new snow near the coast. Avoid areas with fresh storm slabs.

Avalanche problems

New snow (slab avalanches)

You can easily trigger avalanches on some steep slopes. Avalanches can get large enough to bury or even kill you (size 2).

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)

Wednesday 3. April 2024

De siste dagene har det kommet litt nysnø, mest på kysten.

Det finnes kantkornlag dypere i snødekket og ved bakken, men disse ligger under harde skarelag og regnes ikke som et skredproblem nå.

Det er få observasjoner fra regionen den siste uka.

Mountain weather

Wednesday 3. April 2024

0 mm precipitation, up to 10 mm in the most exposed areas. Precipitation as snow. Breeze from west, changing to fresh breeze from the east during the afternoon. -21 °C to -12 °C at 700 m a.s.l. Partly cloudy.

Thursday 4. April 2024

3 mm precipitation, up to 10 mm in the most exposed areas. Precipitation as snow. Breeze from northwest. -23 °C to -10 °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

Ytre deler av regionen har fått en del nysnø de siste dagene, og det har vært perioder med vind fra ulike retninger. Det kan derfor finnes ustabile nysnøflak i de fleste himmelretninger. Det er få obervasjoner fra regionen den siste uka, så det er usikkerhet knyttet til hvordan nysnøen binder seg til det gamle snødekket.

Hvis sola kommer fram kan det føre til at det løsner små løssnøskred i bratt solvendt terreng.
