Det har kommet mye nysnø i regionen de siste dagene, og med vind fra varierende retning har det bygget seg opp fokksnøflak i flere himmelretninger.
Dypere i snødekket finnes det vedvarende svake lag. Opp til 500-800 moh er det kantkornlag i sammenheng med skare. I hele regionen finnes det også eldre kantkornlag som er nedføyket, men disse har det generelt vært vanskelig å påvirke den siste tida.
Sent lørdag kveld gikk det et naturlig utløst skred over E6 i vestvendt terreng noen kilometer sør for Skibotn. Mandag gikk det et naturlig utløst skred over E6 i sørvendt heng ved Oksfjord like sør for Kvænangsfjellet.
Tirsdag har det kommet inn mildvær og regn i lavlandet.
