Today, Feb. 25
closeSome slushflows are expected. A few large slides may occur. Exposed railways and roads may be closed. Risk of slushflows is especially high in areas with more than 50 cm snow. The snow may in some places be fully water-saturated. Slushflows are triggered even in relatively gentle slopes, where water accumulates. Slushflows follow terrain depressions and may develop into debris flows. Heavy rain is expected. Relatively high temperatures and windy conditions causes significant snowmelting.
Area
Applies to Vestlandet.
Instructions
Keep away from steep slopes, as well as streams and rivers with high discharge.
Consequences
Situation that requires vigilance and may cause local damages
On Thursday we expect considerable avalanche danger for region Hardanger. Avalanche problem is wind drifted snow (slab avalanches).
Area
Applies to Hardanger.
Instructions
Travelling in avalanche terrain requires advanced knowledge, experience in route finding and ability to identify the avalanche problem. Generally, it is recommended to avoid avalanche terrain. Avalanches may hit some avalanche-exposed roads and occasionally settlements.
