A weak layer seem to persist in the snowcover in upper part of mountains
Snow layers and snow cover
Southerly winds on the night before Thursday and temperature rose to 8° in lowlands. The thaw may have reached up to 800 m a.s.l. but did not reach the highest mountaintops. It seems like the thaw did not distroy the existing weak layer in the snow cover. Strong SW-wind on Thursday with little precipitation along the coast but probably more in the mountains. However, snowdrift occurred in upper part of mountains forming new slabs that seem unstable.
Recent avalanches
Small wet avalances releashed the night before Thursday when the thaw reached up high in the mountains. On Friday dry avalanches fell over and near the road by Ólafsfjarðarmúli, and in the vicinity of Ólafsfjörður. Sizes 1 and 2.
Weather forecast
Strong southwesterly winds but little precipitation on Saturday. Calms down druing the evening and the wind turns to ENE-direction on Sunday morning. Calm northerly winds on Sunday and Monday with snow showers.
