Snow cover (in Norwegian)
Sunday 28. May 2023
Fredag morgen var det nysnøgrense med snødryss ned på ca 750 moh, i høyden kan det ha kommet noe mer. Eldre snø var før dette smelteomvandlet, grovkornet og fuktig eller våt. Det er generelt bart under 750 moh, men snøgrensen kan variere. Snøgrensen er lavest i skyggesider, noen steder går den ned til 400 moh.
Eldre svake lag har i hovedsak smeltet vekk, men det kan være rester av islag i snøen.
Torsdag formiddag snør det over tregrensen på Strandafjellet.

Avalanche risk assessment
Mandag vil mildvær og mye nedbør øke faren for våte skred. Enkelte middels store naturlig utløste skred kan forekomme.
Over mildværsgrensa kan det dannes fokksnøflak, men disse stabiliseres raskt i de relativt milde temperaturene.
Der det fortsatt er igjen skavler kan det være fare for skavlbrudd.
