Mt. Hood Weather Forecast
It’s just another powder day on Mt. Hood! Steady snowfall continues all day and light snowfall continues Sunday night. Another round of snow falls on Monday. Unless something changes, we’re looking at an extended dry stretch starting on Tuesday and continuing through at least Saturday.
Heavy snowfall on Sunday morning tapers off overnight, possibly ending up with a period of mostly cloudy sky after midnight. The snow level will be 0′ near Mt. Hood in the morning, up to 1000′ in the afternoon, and back to 0′ overnight. We’ll see about 0.4” ‘water value (WV) during the day, for 4-5” of fluffy powder. Another 0.1” falls overnight, for an inch of new. Wind will be WSW 20 in the morning, W 15 in the afternoon, and SE 15 overnight.
We’ll see light snowfall during the day Monday with clearing sky overnight. The snow level will be 0′, and mountain temps will be in the teens. About 0.3-0.4” WV falls during the day, for 3-5” of fluffy snow. A trace falls in the evening, and then the sky clears. It’s worth mentioning that models disagree on the track of Monday’s storm; a change of 50-100 miles could make a huge difference in Mt. Hood snow amounts. Wind Monday will be SE 10-20 all day, E 10 int eh evening, and NW 5 overnight.
Tuesday looks clear and dry and sunny. The freezing level will be 0’. Temps will be in the low teens. Wind will be light and variable during the day, building to ESE 25 after midnight. Those easterlies could kick off some orographic clouds and/or snow flurries on Wednesday. The snow level Wednesday will be 0′, and temps will be in the single digits to low double digits. Wind will be ESSE 20 early, SW 15 in the afternoon, and NW 15 after midnight. Now that I’ve said that, let’s look at the EURO: it likes the idea of bring that system farther north on Wednesday, dropping about 4” of snow on Mt. Hood.
As I said before, models like the idea of a dry stretch through at least Saturday. That said, if the weather system predicted for southern Oregon on Wednesday decides to come farther north like the Euro predicts, that could change. So, get yourself some powder while we’ve got it! If nothing else, the snow will stay in excellent shape all week due to cold temps.
Gorge Wind
Easterlies at 25-30 near Rooster Rock Sunday morning drop to 15-20 midday and build overnight. Expect 35-40 and blizzard conditions near Rooster Sunday night into Monday midday. Wind will drop to 20-25 in the afternoon. Tuesday starts with 20-25 and builds all day, ending up with 40-45 in the afternoon and 50-60 on Wednesday morning.
