Extreme “Frank” weather is expected to hit Troms with the strongest wind this Friday morning, between 6 and 8, after Nordland took further notice of the forces of nature on Thursday.
Extreme weather forecasts are stable, service meteorologist Jon Austerheim Vervarslinga in northern Norway told NTB.
– We see the highest values in Troms at 6-8 o’clock. Gust values seem scarier a bit inland, he says Friday night.
Roads closed and flights canceled
Loose tiles
The E6 over Saltfjellet has closed and the Norwegian Public Roads Administration does not expect an improvement in the situation until Friday afternoon.
The same road is also closed between Ulvsvåg and Bognes in Hamarøy municipality, where several trees have crossed the road.
During the night, the police have received no reports of serious incidents related to storm “Frank”. E6 is closed in Fossbakken because the roof tiles of the closed inn came loose and flew onto the road, reports the operations center in Troms.
Powerless
In addition, the police report loose billboards and polystyrene plates.
– On the Finnsnes football field, the wind has torn off some billboards. The sports team is oriented. In Silsand, some tiles on the roof of a single-family house were about to come loose, the owner himself reported. At the Olsborg school, the wind blew away some Styrofoam plates. The municipality has been notified, the Troms Police District writes on Twitter.
According to meteorologist Austerheim, the strongest wind is in the mountains, but some coastal stations have also measured winds with gusts of up to 30 meters per second. Among other things, 47.3 meters per second were measured at Sandnessjøen on Thursday.
The extreme climate “Frank” gives mainly marine winds, and then there are typically uneven winds with strong gusts.
