Avalanche warning for region Sunnmøre Wednesday 13.03.2024

Danger level 1 - Low avalanche danger

Published:
Favorable conditions. Rain and heat give increased danger of wet avalanches. Glide avalanches are possible.
  • The danger is greatest from Wednesday evening

Avalanche problems

Wet snow (slab 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)

Water pooling in/above snow layers

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 12. March 2024

Snøen er hard og bærande dei fleste stader i fjellet. Mykje av det er smelteomdanna og grovkorna. I høgda er det meir finkorna snø i skuggevendte områder. Her er det også stor variasjon, frå hardt til ganske mjukt på korte avstandar. Enkelte stader er det sigesprekker i snødekket.
Snøgrensa er på omlag 200 moh.

Det er observert overflaterim på hardt underlag i skuggesider. Usikker utbreiing.

Mountain weather

Tuesday 12. March 2024

No precipitation. Breeze from southeast. -12 °C to 2 °C at 1400 m a.s.l. Partly cloudy.

Wednesday 13. March 2024

6-10 mm precipitation. Rain up to 1700 m a.s.l during the afternoon. Fresh breeze from south, changing to moderate gale from the south during the afternoon. -8 °C to 3 °C at 1400 m a.s.l. 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

Mildvêr og litt regn kan gje høve for at enkelte fokksnøflak i bratt terreng i høgda kan miste binding og lausne av seg sjølv.

Det er vent at den grovkorna snøen lågare i fjellet vil tåle varmen og nedbøren godt.

Der det er sigesprekker er tilhøva for glideskred tilstades.
