Expecting storm surge Along large parts of the coast, a danger warning for high water levels has been sent out. – The supermoon will be close to the Earth and draw in the water in the sea, which in turn produces higher tides, says meteorologist Leonidas Tsopouridis. The coast will have high water levels on Saturday. Graphics: Meteorologists In Bergen, a 200 meter long flood barrier has been set up. It will prevent the waves from crashing inwards against the buildings at Bryggen. Crash in Nordland A danger warning of up to 25 cm of snow has been issued in parts of Vestland and Trøndelag.
