Avalanche warning for region Indre Fjordane Thursday 25.05.2023

Danger level 1 - Low avalanche danger

Published:
Above ca. 1000 m a.s.l. some fresh snow is expected. In a few steep slopes, dry sluffs can be easily released. Sporadically, small slabs will be formed and probably stick well to wet snow or bare ground. These slabs will be more difficult to release.

Cornices are often unstable at this time of year.

Avalanche problems

New 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)

Wednesday 24. May 2023

Snøgrensa varierer i regionen og er høgast i sørvendte hellinger og lengst ut mot kysten. Stadvis er det samanhengande snø frå 600-700 moh. Det er hovudsakleg fuktig eller våt, grovkorna smelteomvandla snø. Kaldare ver kan føra til at snøoverflata frys til skare mange stader. I høgda kan det liggja nysnø.

Eldre svake lag i snødekket har i hovedsak smelta, men det kan vere enkelte islag i snødekket.

Mountain weather

Wednesday 24. May 2023

12 mm precipitation, up to 20 mm in the most exposed areas. Precipitation as rain. Strong breeze from southwest. -3 °C to 4 °C at 1400 m a.s.l. Partly cloudy.

Thursday 25. May 2023

25 mm precipitation, up to 35 mm in the most exposed areas. Rain up to 1000 m a.s.l during the afternoon. Strong breeze from west. -4 °C to 2 °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

Over ca. 1000 moh er det venta litt nysnø som vil gje ein forbigåande auke i faren for små, tørre snøskred. Laussnøskred kan vere lett å løyse ut i bratte heng, eller gå av seg sjølv der sola kjem. Vinden kan danne små flak høgt til fjells. Dei festar seg truleg godt til våt snø eller barmark, og vil vere vanskeleg å løyse ut.

Skavlar er ofte ustabile på denne tida av året.

Under nysnøgrensa er snøen smelteomdanna og stort sett stabil.
