The police received a report at 07.39 about a boat in Rønvik marina that was lying on its side and possibly going down. The fire brigade and rescue boat were sent to the scene. According to the fire service, it is not possible to salvage the boat, which is supposed to be a farming boat. – There is no reason to believe that there are people on board the boat. Boat owners have been notified, the police report on X. On Saturday, the third storm is expected to hit the coast of Norway. This time, Helgeland and northern parts of Trøndelag are hit hardest. – We expect very strong gusts of 35-43 m/s in some places from the west, strong storm on the coast, the Meteorologists tweet.

On Monday this week, large parts of the coast got a taste of the weather when an unnamed one wreaked havoc. On Wednesday it happened again. This time the storm had been named “Ingunn” – without that making it any nicer. The destruction was not long in coming, and one person is seriously injured after a large gate blew over a man in his 50s in Nordland. On Saturday, the third storm this week hits the coast of Norway – and for some areas it could be even fiercer than during “Ingunn”. – Once again, there is a storm on its way towards the coast of the country. Meteorologist on duty Martin Granerød sighs. – I don’t remember seeing such a powerful storm, covering such large areas, as what “Ingunn” did. – There are three such powerful storms in a row, and they have been unusually powerful. But compared to both the one on Monday and Wednesday, this storm covers a smaller area. Comes straight in towards land It comes straight in towards land, and does not cut along the coast. The storm center is expected to hit around Saltfjellet on Saturday afternoon. – This time it is mainly Helgeland and Trøndelag that are most exposed to the strongest weather. Further north in Nordland, it is still uncertain how the wind will play out there. On Saturday, it will gradually increase from the morning hours, before it really hits the coast in the late morning or early afternoon. – We get a full or strong storm from the south-west, before the wind turns to the west. As of now, it is the southern part of Helgeland and the old Nord-Trøndelag that gets the heaviest weather. There will also be some wind along the coast of Møre and Romsdal. There may also be a small storm in the Trondheimsfjorden. Parts of Trøndelag will feel the wind even more than under “Ingunn”, while other areas will feel less wind this time. – In addition, there will be snow and hail showers, which can lead to blizzards in some areas. In the south of Trøndelag, it looks like the temperature is too high, but for northern Trøndelag and Helgeland, the precipitation could also come as snow. Then we will be able to get blizzards, especially in inland and higher-lying areas. On the coast, the precipitation will come as rain or sleet.

Photo: David Engmo / Bodø2024 The meteorologist cannot say anything exact about how the wind will hit Bodø. – It depends on where the storm center will hit. One must add that the weather outlook for Saturday evening in Bodø is uncertain. There is likely to be a period in the afternoon/evening where it will be quite calm, and then the wind will pick up in the evening when the wind turns to the north-west. But we are not at danger warning level, says Granerød. These road and boat sections are closed in Nordland: EV6 Saltfjellet is closed due to bad weather. RV77 Graddis – closed on the Swedish side. New assessment at 12.00 Ferry section Jektvik-Kilboghavn canceled due to bad weather. Weather forecast for Levang – Nesna Route 18-335 Weather forecast for Nesna – Nesna Islands Route 18-336
