Avalanche danger depends on where the snow showers hit. In areas that receive the most new snow combined with wind, fresh wind slabs may be easy to trigger. The danger is highest while the slabs are still fresh. In areas with little new snow, the avalanche danger will be lower.

If the sun breaks through during the day, it may weaken the fresh snow and cause a few small, naturally released wet avalanches in steep terrain. These are expected to be few and limited in size.

Snøbyger og sterk vind fra sørvest kan lokalt danne ustabile fokksnøflak høyt til fjells. Disse kan være lett å løse ut, spesielt når de er helt ferske. Det er store lokale forskjeller i skredfaren; rundt Steigen ventes størst nedbørsmengde og dermed størst skredfare. I områder som har fått lite nysnø, vil skredfaren være lavere.

Dersom sola bryter gjennom utover dagen, kan den svekke den ferske nysnøen og gi enkelte små, naturlig utløste våte skred i bratt terreng. Disse ventes å være få og av begrenset størrelse.

Mildværet og regnet onsdag har påvirket snøoverflaten trolig opp til 900 moh. Høyere til fjells er det tørrere snø i overflaten. I leområder ligger det myke og hardere fokksnøflak.

Under den nyeste snøen ligger det skare eller eldre flak av fokksnø.

Where wind slabs have formed over the past few days, it may still be easy to trigger small to medium-sized avalanches. This problem is most pronounced at higher elevations, where colder temperatures slow down the stabilization process. A little new snow today may also make it harder to see where these wind slabs are located. In general, east-facing leeward slopes have accumulated the most wind-transported snow, but local variations occur.

If the sun breaks through between snow showers, it may weaken the fresh snow and lead to naturally released wet avalanches. This is particularly relevant in steep, sun-exposed terrain.
