Mt. Hood Forecast
Wednesday looks dry and sunny on the mountain, and so does Saturday. Other than those days, we’re looking at clouds, flurries, and light snowfall. Deets follow.
For Wednesday, expect a sunny day with clouds moving in around or after sunset. The free air freezing level will be 8000′ in the morning and 6000′ in the afternoon. The snow level drops to 3500′ or so tonight. Just a trace of snow falls overnight. Wind: NW 10-15 early, W 20 in the afternoon, and W 20 overnight.
Flurries are in the forecast on Thursday with steadier light snowfall Thursday night. The snow level will be 3500′ early and will fall to 1000′-1500′ overnight. Just a trace of snow falls during the day. About 0.2” water equivalent (WE) is forecast overnight, for 2-3” of light, fluffy snow. Wind: W 20 early, light and variable in the afternoon, NE 5-10 overnight.
Friday brings light flurries in the morning and mostly cloudy sky in the afternoon. The sky clears overnight. The snow level will be 1500′ early and will fall to 0-1000′ as the day progresses. Just a trace of snow falls during the day before the sky eventually clears in the evening. Wind: NE 5-10 early, NNE 10-15 in the afternoon and NW 10-15 overnight.
Saturday looks clear and cold with the snow level around 1000′. Wind will be 10-15mph. Sunday’s forecast is currently for 4-5” snow during the day and 3-4” snow overnight with the snow level around 1000′. Models don’t agree on the exact snow amounts on Sunday; that’s just a guess. After Sunday, we see more uncertainty in the models, so let’s leave it there. Enjoy!
Note on wind speeds. Different wind directions are experienced in different ways on Mt. Hood. For example, west wind at 50mph will hit the slopes and exposed ridges at W 50. SW 50 may hit the ridges at SW 50, but will likely only be SW 20 below tree line. Hence the ranges for wind. Depends where you are on the mountain. Hopefully that helps clarify.
