Avalanche warning for region Nord-Troms Wednesday 08.05.2024

Danger level 1 - Low avalanche danger

Published:
Generally stable conditions, but danger of wet avalanches in sun-exposed mountainsides.

Avalanche problems

Wet snow (loose snow avalanches)

Avalanches may release spontaneously 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)

Tuesday 7. May 2024

I helgen kom det noe nysnø. I lesider dannet det seg noe fokksnø men denne antas å ha stabilisert seg nå. Ellers har snøen stort sett lagt seg oppå hard isskare. Forrige uke var det plussgrader og regn opp til 1200 moh og dette har gitt mye fukt i snøen.

Det er stedvis lite snø under 200 moh.

Kantkornlag dypere i snødekket er trolig fortsatt tilstede nordvendt høyt til fjells, men lite sannsynlig å påvirke.

Mountain weather

Tuesday 7. May 2024

No precipitation. Fresh breeze from southeast. -12 °C to -4 °C at 1100 m a.s.l. Clear skies.

Wednesday 8. May 2024

No precipitation. Strong breeze from south. -10 °C to -1 °C at 1100 m a.s.l. Clear skies.

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

I solsider kan det løsne enkelte små løssnøskred i svært bratt terreng.

Hold god avstand til skavler.

Om du opplever snøfokk så vær forsiktig i lesider med fersk fokksnø.
