Avalanche warning for region Sør-Troms Tuesday 24.05.2022

Danger level 2 - Moderate avalanche danger

Published:
Avalanches can occur in steep terrain with wet snow, and a persistent weak layer can exist in parts of the region. Keep good distance from cornices.

Avalanche problems

Wet snow (loose snow avalanches)

You can easily trigger avalanches on some steep slopes. Avalanches can get large enough to bury or even kill you (size 2).

Loose snow

Wet snow (slab avalanches)

You can trigger avalanches on a few steep slopes. Avalanches can get large enough to bury a car or destroy a small house (size 3).

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 23. May 2022

Det er eit vårleg snødekke, der snøoverflata består av smelteomvandla snø. Dei aller fleste stadar vil denne vere fuktig eller våt.

Det kan vere restar av vedvarande svake lag i snødekket, særleg på dei høgaste fjelltoppane, men dei fleste stadar er desse no smelteomvandla.

Dei siste dagane har det gått mange skred i regionen.

Mountain weather

Monday 23. May 2022

Little to no precipitation. Breeze from southeast, changing to fresh breeze from the southeast during the evening. 2 °C to 12 °C at 700 m a.s.l. Partly cloudy.

Tuesday 24. May 2022

No precipitation. Fresh breeze from southeast. 4 °C to 13 °C at 700 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

Sannsynet for naturleg utløyste skred er mindre sidan det blir mindre sol enn føregåande dagar, men det skal framleis vere varmt og truleg ikkje nattefrost. Difor kan eit og anna skred likevel gå naturleg, og det vil vere lett å løyse ut skred ved ferdsel i bratte fjellsider med våt snø. Det er i hovudsak venta laussnøskred, men flakskred kan førekomme, særleg sidan det i enkelte områder kan finnast kantkornlag. Skavlar kan også brotne.
