Flume warning in Austlandet for Thursday and Friday – news Innlandet – Local news, TV and radio

This is due to large bodies of water, says Bane Nor. Bergensbanen is expected to reopen at 19.00. From Thursday morning, a flood warning has been sent out for parts of Austlandet. Increased rainfall can lead to local flooding. Namely, increased rainfall has been reported on Thursday and Friday, which, together with snowmelt, can cause streams and rivers to rise. One consequence is local flooding and stormwater in densely built-up areas. This is stated by Norway’s Directorate of Water Resources and Energy. This afternoon, the police received a report of a minor landslide on the E16 at Kjølsethbakken in Galterud in Kongsvinger. There is a reduced appearance in northbound races. The police are on the scene. The contractor and the Road Traffic Center have been notified. Follow up People are encouraged to follow up over the entire warning area, which extends over large parts of Austlandet. That’s according to Per Alve Glad, hydrologist on duty at NVE on Wednesday evening. – The most rainfall has been reported in the area around Mjøsa, but one must be prepared for the entire warning area. It is mainly the small and medium-sized streams that are exposed to flume, he explains. Nevertheless, it is important to take action to reduce the damage. – It is important to prepare by cleaning gutters and grates so that the water can get through where it should. – And that you don’t seek out rivers and streams where the water has a high speed. PRECIPITATION: Rain in Fagernes and water on E16.

NVE informs NTB. – We expect a lot of rain, especially on Thursday, but also on Friday. The precipitation, in combination with moderate snowmelt, could produce flume, but this is not what we mean when we talk about spring flume, says on-duty hydrologist Per Alve Glad at NVE. The flurries are due to rainfall, and not primarily to increased temperature and snowmelt. FLOOD WARNING: Rain gives a flood warning for parts of Austlandet.
