Avalanche warning for region Indre Fjordane Sunday 28.05.2023

Danger level 1 - Low avalanche danger

Published:
There will be some new snow and wind, but conditions are generally stable. Wind slabs might be possible to trigger in a few sheltered formations.

Avalanche problems

New snow (slab 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)

Saturday 27. May 2023

Fredag kom det noe nysnø fra omtrent 750 moh og oppover. Snøgrensa varierer i regionen og er høyest i sørvendte hellinger og lengst ut mot kysten. Stedvis er det samenhengende snø fra 600-700 moh. Eldre snø er hovedsaklig fuktig eller våt, grovkorna smelteomvandla snø.

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

Mountain weather

Saturday 27. May 2023

15 mm precipitation, up to 35 mm in the most exposed areas. Rain up to 1600 m a.s.l during renoon. Fresh breeze from south, changing to moderate gale from the southwest during the afternoon. -2 °C to 4 °C at 1400 m a.s.l. Cloudy.

Sunday 28. May 2023

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

Generelt stabile forhold. Men, nysnøgrensa synker utover dagen, og det blir en del vind. Noen steder i fjellet kan det derfor dannes små ustabile fokksnøflak mens været står på. Dersom solen titter frem utover dagen kan det gå enkelte naturlig utløste skred i nysnøen.

Vær oppmerksom på at der det henger igjen skavler kan det være fare for at skavlene kan brekke og falle ned.
