Weather separation

This will mark a strong difference in weather, because at the back of the wind comes the cold.

So the big question is whether the cold sets in before the precipitation subsides?

The latest assessments by the meteorologists indicate that most of the precipitation is over before the temperature goes from red to blue, but this will of course be able to vary from place to place. And it is in the outer areas north of the county that there is the greatest chance of snow showers before the precipitation subsides.

– After Wednesday, it may look like it will mostly be cool and pleasant weather, perhaps with opportunities for the occasional snowstorm, but it is not a question of large amounts.

Landslide hazard

The meteorologists have considered sending out danger warnings for Troms, but so far they have held back.

On Monday afternoon, however, there was a warning of danger to landslides, mudslides and landslides for parts of Troms:

The danger is greatest for landslides, but landslides and floods can occur, they report.

Exposed sections of road and road can be closed. Most exposed to the triggering of landslides are relatively coastal and / or lower-lying areas up to 500 meters above sea level where the snow depth is lower than one m.

they state that the snow is saturated with water in places and that landslides can be triggered on relatively gentle slopes where water is collected.

Landslides are often channeled down depressions and streams and can then develop into landslides.
