Avalanche warning for region Helgeland Wednesday 03.04.2024

Danger level 1 - Low avalanche danger

Published:
Be aware of isolated wind slabs in alpine terrain. A weak layer of buried surface hoar or facets can be present underneath the wind slabs. Stable conditions below 1000 masl.

Avalanche problems

Wind drifted snow (slab avalanches)

You can trigger avalanches on a few 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)

Tuesday 2. April 2024

Mildvær søndag har fuktet snøoverflaten i lavlandet. Påfølgende kaldt vær fører nok til skare mange steder. Høyt til fjells er snøoverflaten vindpreget.

Det er observert drønn de siste dagene. Trolig stammer det fra overflaterimlag som har snødd ned. Problemet er veldig lokalt.

Mountain weather

Tuesday 2. April 2024

Little to no precipitation. Fresh breeze from east, changing to breeze from the northeast during the afternoon. -16 °C to -10 °C at 1100 m a.s.l. Partly cloudy.

Wednesday 3. April 2024

Little to no precipitation. Breeze from east, changing to breeze from the north during the afternoon. -19 °C to -10 °C at 1100 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

Det er liten skredfare i terreng som ble påvirket av mildvær søndag, hvor det nå har fryst på. Dette er terreng under ca 1000 moh hvor snøoverflaten har fryst til skare.
Høyt til fjells kan det finnes ustabil fokksnø enkelte steder. Opplever du drønn kan det bety at du er i et område med nedføyka overflaterim, da kan det være lett å løse ut skred.
