Mt. Hood Weather Forecast
It’s going to be partly cloudy weekend on Mt. Hood with high temps climbing near 50 degrees. You’ll want to break out some yellow wax for your gear or you’ll end up sticking when the snow warms up. A colder system drops in from Canada Sunday night into Monday bringing colder air for the lower elevations and cooler high temps for the slopes.
For Saturday, we’ll have sunshine in the morning and a chance of high clouds in the afternoon. The free air freezing level (FAF) will be 10,000′. Wind will be variable to 10mph during the day and NW 20 after midnight. FYI, Teacup is hosting races both today and tomorrow.
Sunday may start with high clouds but should turn clear in the afternoon. FAF: 10,000′ falling to 9000′ in the afternoon and 9000′ but much cooler after midnight. Wind: NW 20 early, NW 15 in the afternoon, and E 5 after midnight.
It’s looking like the incoming cold pool won’t be nearly as deep as previously predicted. That means the FAF will likely stay around 9000′ with sub-freezing temps below 4000′ or perhaps 2000’… hard to tell. Wind speeds look much lower than prior predictions as well: E 5 in the morning, S 10 in the afternoon, and W 10 overnight. Tuesday looks clear with mountain highs near 40 degrees. FAF: 10,000′. Wind: W 10 early, NW 10 in the afternoon.
It looks like the next chance for precip is sometime between Wednesday and Friday. Models disagree on such important details as amount of precipitation, precipitation type, etc. So, an accurate forecast is not possible beyond Tuesday.

Saturday morning starts off with light east wind. Afternoon easterlies pick up to 20-25 from Rooster Rock to Stevenson with 10-15 near Viento.

Road and Mountain Biking
The dirt on Syncline is excellent. Not excellent are all the new trails made by people and dogs cutting the corners. NOT COOL. Another problem at Syncline: ticks. Yuck. Ticks EVERYWHERE! The Worst Ticks Ever. Maybe wear tick repellent if you’re going there. I also saw a Post Canyon Strava titled “tacky”. If that’s true, Post, Hospital, and Whoopdee are all going to be tacky. Get it while you can! As for road biking, this afternoon looks excellent and Sunday afternoon looks like a 10/10.
Upcoming Events
It’s Saturday, and there’s a group trail run in Post Canyon at 9am. There’s a free bootcamp workout in Sorosis Park at 10am. Sunday is the annual Teacup Classic race at Teacup Nordic.
