Avalanche warning for region Helgeland Friday 13.05.2022

Danger level 1 - Low avalanche danger

Published:
Be careful on steep slopes with soft and wet snow. Keep distance to areas with glide-cracks.

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)

Thursday 12. May 2022

I fjellet er nysnøen som kom i løpet av helga i stor grad smelteomdannet etter de siste dagenes regn og mildvær. Den våte snøen kan ligge over skare som ble dannet da temperaturen sank lørdag.

Snøen i lavereliggende områder og det gamle snødekket har vært gjennom runde på runde med mildvær, er smelteomvandlet, gjenfryst og generelt stabilt. Snødekket drenerer antageligvis vannet godt når snøen fuktes opp.

Høyt til fjells kan det finnes noe fokksnø i leområder og forsenkninger.

Mountain weather

Thursday 12. May 2022

8-12 mm precipitation. Rain up to 1100 m a.s.l Thursday night. Fresh breeze from south. -2 °C to 1 °C at 1100 m a.s.l. Partly cloudy.

Friday 13. May 2022

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

I bratt terreng med våt, løs snø er det mulig å løse ut løssnøskred. Vær varsom i nærheten av terrengfeller.

Glideskred er uforutsigbare, men kan forekomme der det er forhold for det, for eksempel der underlaget er svaberg eller bratt gressbakke. Unngå terreng under glidesprekker.
