Rodnei — Avalanche Forecast

Snow and weather information for the period: 13.11.2026 at 21:00 - 17.11.2026 at 21:00 - in BUCEGI and FĂGĂRAȘ, above 2000 m, quantitatively significant rainfall in western and northern massifs, mixed precipitation on ridges. Warming from 15 November BUCEGI and FĂGĂRAȘ MOUNTAINS Above 2000 m: the fresh snow that will be deposited over the existing snowpack will be of small size (5…10 cm), with larger accumulations on sheltered slopes. The thin layer of wet snow that fell at the beginning will freeze as the weather cools. The warming that will begin on Sunday will favor melting and wetting of the newly deposited layer, so that, on steep slopes, isolated spontaneously, but also under overloading of the layer, it will slide over the more frozen layer, leading to the triggering of surface sluffs and even small avalanches. IN THE REST OF THE MASSIFS A relatively thin layer of snow will be deposited over the ground or over the discontinuous snow already present, a layer that will melt mostly with the warming that will begin on Sunday. Only very isolated areas will have a risk of surface sluffs. Weather forecast for the interval 13.11.2026 at 21:00 - 17.11.2026 at 21:00 On the night of 13/14 November, the sky will be overcast and rain will occur at the beginning of the night across the entire mountain area. In the second part of the night, precipitation will predominantly fall as sleet and snowfall and a snow layer will be deposited, generally of 5...10 cm. The water amounts will be locally 15....25 l/m², in places 30...35 l/m². The wind will have strong intensifications, with speeds of 90...120 km/h, and at high altitudes of 120...140 km/h. On Saturday (14 November) the weather will cool significantly, but will improve considerably compared to the previous interval in terms of precipitation and wind intensifications. In high areas temperatures will become negative both during the day and at night. The sky will become variable, and during the day, in the Southern and Curvature Carpathians, there will be weak snowfall in terms of quantity (newly deposited snow layer generally 2...5 cm). The wind will have gusts with speeds generally of 45...50 km/h, and on ridges over 60...70 km/h, with brief blizzard conditions affecting the snow. From Sunday, 15 November, the weather will warm gradually, and daytime temperatures will become positive. The sky will be variable, with cloudiness increasing toward the end of the interval in the western massifs, where it will rain. The wind will blow moderately, with temporary intensifications of 50...65 km/h in high areas. Brief fog will be reported. On 13 November, at 14:00, snow was still present on the platforms of the meteorological stations only at Omu Peak, where the measurement was 31 cm. minimum temperatures above 1800 m: generally -8…-3 degrees, rising to -4…-1 degree in the last night maximum temperatures above 1800 m: rising, from -4…0 degrees on Saturday to -2…3 degrees on Sunday and 1…5 degrees on Tuesday Altitude of the 0-degree isotherm: it drops to 1000…1500 m by Sunday, then rises again toward 2500 m. meteorologist: Narcisa Milian Legend Contact: e-mail: nivologie.sibiu@meteoromania.ro ; Sibiu, Strada Someșului no.49, tel. 0770714242; 0269235145
