Soon it will be autumn holiday for many people in Austlandet, and many have probably thought of taking a trip to the mountains. In parts of the mountains in southern Norway, snow is expected in the coming days, and the Meteorological Institute has issued a yellow warning. In this context, the Norwegian Public Roads Administration asks road users to make an assessment of the choice of tire if they are considering going to the mountains in southern Norway. – We strongly recommend changing to winter tyres, says Jeanette Andresen, traffic operator at the Norwegian Public Roads Administration. Snow coming in the mountains The yellow danger warning applies to northern parts of the mountains in southern Norway. From night to Friday, around 5-20 centimeters of snow is expected over 6-800 meters altitude.

On their camera, they see that it has snowed and it is minus degrees in several places. Snow has fallen in several places in Høgfjellet. Among other things here at E6 Fokstugu.

More snow from tonight Watch meteorologist, Leonidas Tsopouridis, says that there are already snow showers in the mountain area. – Cold air is coming from the north-west, and it brings rain showers and snow showers above 400 m. There is most activity from this evening, tonight and the beginning of Saturday. State meteorologist Leonidas Tsopouridis says that they may extend the snow warning until Sunday.

He explains that in the area north of Innlandet and south of Trøndelag there may be 5–10 cm of snow. In the area of Sogn og Fjordane and Møre and Romsdag, it can reach up to 15 cm, and 20 cm locally. – Follow Bilbergar Pål Marius Hagadokken in Bilberging Valdres was given a rescue mission on the mountain pass Valdresflye when it snowed earlier this week. He says that it is as it usually is with the first snow. – As far as I could see, all the vehicles were properly locked. He warns that the weather changes quickly in the mountains. Traffic operator Andresen in the Road Administration encourages people to take a look at the Road Administration’s app or to use 175.no to see what it looks like where you plan to drive. – There we have a web camera that shows weather stations and a picture of the road surface where you can drive. She also encourages you to follow the weather forecast. – And have a good trip to the mountains, she concludes. Published 27/09/2024, at 13.07 Updated 27.09.2024, at 13.09
