Avalanche warning for region Indre Fjordane Tuesday 16.03.2021

Danger level 2 - Moderate avalanche danger

Published:
Fresh wind slabs can be triggered in leeward terrain that is accumulating snow. Avalanches will be most likely where the slabs are still being loaded by wind and snowfall or are very fresh.

Avalanche problems

Wind drifted snow (slab avalanches)

You can trigger avalanches on a few steep slopes. Avalanches can get large enough to bury a car or destroy a small house (size 3).

Buried weak layer of new snow

Wet snow (loose snow avalanches)

on some steep slopes. Avalanches are relatively harmless to people, but can knock you off balance. Can be dangerous close to terrain traps. (size 1)

Loose snow

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)

Monday 15. March 2021

Snødekket bærer preg av både vind og sol fra de siste dagene. I skyggesider ligger snøen ubunden eller som myke flak i lune formasjoner, og mer vindutsatte heng ligger det harde flak. I S sektor er overflaten solpåvirka.

Mildværet tidligere i månaden tinte bort mye av snøen og i lavlandet er det liter eller ingen snø.

Det var kraftig mildvær i slutten av februar. Dette har dannet tykk bærende skare over dype svake lag under ca 1200moh. Lavere til fjells har de blitt helt gjennomfuktet og omdanna til smelteformer. Over 1200moh kan svake lag dypt i snødekket fortsatt være et problem i noen heng.

Det blei observert et middels til stort flakskred i nordvendt terreng i Indre Sunnfjord som trolig gikk lørdag eller søndag.

Mountain weather

Monday 15. March 2021

3 mm precipitation, up to 8 mm in the most exposed areas. Breeze from north. -10 °C to -2 °C at 1400 m a.s.l. Partly cloudy.

Tuesday 16. March 2021

Little to no precipitation. Breeze from northwest. -11 °C to -3 °C at 1400 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

Rolige værforhold gir fokksnøflak tid å stabilisere seg. Det kan fortsatt gå å løse ut skred enkelte steder i fokksnøen, og der sola tar kan det gå våte løse skred i den ferske snøen.
