Avalanche warning for region Romsdal Tuesday 16.05.2023

Danger level 1 - Low avalanche danger

Published:
Generally stable conditions in the lowlands. Some new snow at higher elevations, might lead to a few small windslabs.
  • The danger is greatest from Tuesday afternoon

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)

Buried weak layer of new snow

Wet 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)

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. May 2023

Varme, sterk sol og nedbør som regn til fjelltopphøyde preget forrige uke. Kjøligere vær utover mandag vil føre til gjenfrysing av den smelteomvandlede snøen og danne hard skare som myknes utover dagen og av sola.

Eldre svake lag i snødekket er nå de fleste steder avrundet og nøytralisert. På tykkere snødekke i skyggesider, høyt til fjells, kan de imidlertid fortsatt være intakte.

Noen våte løssnøskred observert siste dager

Fredag ble det i nordvendt terreng observert antydning til opphopning av vann mellom fokksnø og gammelt snødekke.

Mountain weather

Monday 15. May 2023

1-5 mm precipitation. Rain up to 1500 m a.s.l. Calm/light breeze from northwest. -1 °C to 5 °C at 1400 m a.s.l. Cloudy.

Tuesday 16. May 2023

10 mm precipitation, up to 15 mm in the most exposed areas. Rain up to 800 m a.s.l during the afternoon. Breeze from west. -5 °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

Kaldere vær vil føre til en stabilisering av den eldre smelte-omvandlede snøen.

Noe nedbør som snø i høyfjellet gir et nysnøproblem. Det kan være lett for en skikjører å løse ut små skred i myke flak. Dersom sola tar kan nysnøen løsne som våte løssnøskred.

Enkelte glideskred kan fortsatt forekomme, men sannsynligheten minker.
