Mt. Hood Snow Forecast
Hey everyone! Here’s the forecast for Tuesday. Gosh golly did Mt. Hood underperform last night. I was thinking 3-5”, and we just got one measly inch, just enough to change the snow surface from granular to a mix. As of the time of this forecast (4:10pm Monday), the resorts had picked up a couple inches of wet snow today with temps hovering right around freezing. We’ll see temps drop tonight and stay low this week. Light snowfall is forecast Tuesday and Wednesday, and then there’s a fair bit of uncertainty Thursday and Friday.
For the rest of Tuesday, we’ll have light wet snow. Just a trace is forecast overnight with the snow level around 4500′. Light snow continues Tuesday morning and gives way to clear sky in the afternoon. Models hint at the possibility of a little more snow overnight, but they’re far from certain on this. The snow level Tuesday will be 3500′ to start the day, 2000′ in the afternoon, and 3000′ or less overnight. About 0.1” water equivalent (WE) is forecast during the day for an inch of new. Overnight. Models call for 0-0.2” WE as new snow. That’s a big range there. I’d guess the lower end of that rather than the high end. Wind will be SW 5-10 in the morning, light in the afternoon, and WNW 10-15 after midnight.
Wednesday may have a few intermittent flurries as clouds move in and out. The snow level will be 3000′ early, 2000′ in the afternoon, and 1500′ or less overnight. Depends on the path of an incoming system and also how much clear sky we have how late. Just a trace to an inch of snow is forecast for the 24 hour period. Wind: WNW 10-15 most of the day building to NW 25-30 overnight.
Beyond Wednesday, there’s quite a bit of uncertainty in the models. Generally speaking, the weather should be cool thanks to NW flow. How much snow will we get? I’m not even going to venture a guess yet. It should be noted that the total snow predictions from now through Friday morning from the Euro range from 5” (10th percentile) to 12.2” (90th percentile). The bulk of that actually comes prior to that uncertain Thursday-Friday time period. As always, we vote for the 90th. Enjoy the snow!

Gorge Wind Forecast
Hi friends. We have a few days of light to moderate westerlies on tap. As always in the middle of winter, models aren’t all that accurate. I’m counting on reality overperforming a bit thanks to a couple days of offshore high pressure. Still, it’ll be right on the edge. Tuesday starts rainy with light westerlies. By late morning or early afternoon, the wind picks up to W 13-16 from Stevenson to Biggs. River flow Monday was 95-139kcfs, river temp is 38.66F, and high temp forecast is 47F under partly to mostly cloudy sky. Wednesday starts with 10-13 from Viento to Arlington. Midday wind rises to 14-17 from Stevenson to Rufus. It then drops to 10-13 from Stevenson to Hood River and rises to 19-22 from Mosier to Arlington. High temp: 44F with mostly cloudy sky. Thursday starts with 7-10 all through the Gorge. By late morning, we’ll have 12-15 from Stevenson to Arlington. Afternoon: 18-22 from Avery to Rufus. High temp: 44F under partly cloudy sky. Just FYI: models are most optimistic about Wednesday and Thursday. Tuesday would be the bonus day. Fingers crossed!
