Tonight, waves up to nine meters high are forecast for the coast of Western Norway, when a low pressure near the Faroe Islands approaches Norway.
According to state meteorologist Martin Granerød at the Meteorological Institute, those who go out by boat this evening should be very well used to the sea.
– For ordinary people with small boats, this is not the day to go out to sea, he says.
On Monday evening, the police in the West police district were able to report that some plates have been blown away by the wind in Sunnfjord. There should not have been any damage, they sign Twitter.
Flood risk in Western Norway
Farevarsel
Low pressure is expected to move in over Western Norway during Monday afternoon and evening.
An orange danger warning for avalanches has already been issued in the inner regions of Western Norway, and strong winds have been reported in several areas. Several mountain passes are covered.
The ski resort Voss Resort has already found itself forced to remain closed as a result of the storm.
Storm warning: Watch out from 13!
Solar hours
However, it is in the next few hours this evening that the wind will blow up into a stiff and strong gale in Western Norway. The wind will then decrease, says the meteorologist.
– For the whole of southern Norway, it will be quite good, weather tomorrow, and the most hours of sunshine will be in Østafjell, he says.
– In Western Norway, there will be more clouds, while in the mountains the wind calms down and there may be sun, he continues.
Also in the north, tomorrow looks to be good, with fine weather and calm wind conditions.
Shifting
On Wednesday, another low pressure will affect the weather and wind.
– It will cause it to be cloudy throughout southern Norway and it will bring rain in the lowlands and snow in the mountains, says Granerød.
– On Thursday and Friday, the weather will be more changeable again. It is gradually getting cooler, he continues.
For the weekend, the meteorologist sees little hope that a high pressure will form.
– It is somewhat uncertain, but the latest forecasts show that it could be a good end to the winter holidays, with northerly winds and cold, fine weather.
