MT HOOD SNOW FORECAST
Hey skiers and snowboarders! Interesting twists in the Mt Hood snow forecast today – not much happens this week. Active weather returns Thursday evening. While that’s almost certain to be rain on Mt Hood, models are ALL OVER THE PLACE for temps this weekend; the GFS deterministic and its ensembles are plenty cold for snow, but the Euro insists that temps at 5000′ will be almost 40F. Essentially, I’m saying don’t trust any forecast beyond Thursday! Not even mine!
Looking at today… there was a trace of snow above 2000′ overnight, which I know because I can see it from my house. No precip is forecast today (Sunday). The free air freezing level will be around 0′ in the morning, 5000′ this afternoon, and 8000′ after midnight. Wind: E 10-15 this morning and light/variable from mid-afternoon on.
Monday will be cloudy. The free air freezing level will be around 8000′ all day, and it’ll fall to 4000′ after midnight. Wind: light/variable in the morning, NW 10 in the afternoon, and WNW 35 after midnight. A trace of snow is forecast on Tuesday as the snow level hovers around 3500′-4000′. Wind: WNW 35 in the morning, NW 10-15 in the afternoon, and N 10 overnight. Wednesday looks sunny in the morning and cloudy in the afternoon with the freezing level rising from 3500′ to 6000′. Wind: 15mph or less all day.
Looking at the extended forecast… model agreement falls apart as we move into the weekend. Models agree on rain Thursday. Beyond that, the GFS ensemble insists on significant snowfall. The Euro ensemble insists on significant rain. We’re just going to have to wait a few days and see how this shakes out. Agreement will happen eventually, as will the snow. Hope to see you soon on the slopes!

today’s gorge wind forecast
Hey friends! Another day of moderate easterlies today is followed by an E/W day on Monday and a probable west wind day on Tuesday. Not much is in the Gorge wind forecast for Wednesday and Thursday. Looking at the GFS deterministic, there’s a HUGE day on Friday, but ensembles aren’t on board with that. Having said that, there’s a decent chance of a solid west wind day sometime in the Friday-Saturday time period.
Looking at the iWind/iKite sensors on this partly cloudy Sunday morning, we’ve got 28mph at Iwash (Rooster) Rock, 20mph at Stevenson, and 11mph at Viento. The wind holds around 25mph all day long at Iwash, stays around 20mph until early afternoon at Stevenson, when it drops, and rises to 15mph or so at Viento. River flow over the last 24 hours was 87-134kcfs, river temp is 52.2F, and high temp forecast is 44F with increasing high clouds.

tomorrow’s gorge wind forecast
Monday starts with easterlies at 25mph near Iwash and 15-20mph near Stevenson. The wind goes calm by late morning. Afternoon brings westerlies at 13-16mph from Stevenson to the Hatch with lighter wind to the east. High temp: 44F with increasing clouds. Tuesday sees a weak system moves through. In the wake of this, high pressure builds offshore. West wind starts at 11-14 from Stevenson to Arlington, rises briefly to 20-23mph from Arlington to Rufus, and fills in at 16-19mph from Stevenson to The Dalles while the eastern Gorge drops off in the afternoon. High temp: 48F.
extended Gorge wind forecast
Longer range: not much for Wednesday and Thursday. A stronger weather system is forecast on Friday or Saturday, but models are all over the place on the details of this. Nothing to make solid plans around yet, but we’ll watch it closely. Given that I”m going on retreat on Friday, I wouldn’t be surprised if there was nuking wind! Hope to see you out there soon!

Good morning, neighbors! A fun thing happened this morning – snow on Underwood Mountain. Well, actually, it happened last night, but you know what I mean. That must mean a few of you picked up a trace of snow this morning! Frosty, slippery roads are possible this morning too, but so far the roads seem to be clear of ¡ce. We have a rather unexciting week of weather planned, at least through Thursday morning. After that, rain, potentially moderately heavy rain, is almost certain, but temps are impossible to predict for now. Let’s take a look, shall we?
Glenwood this morning
Glenwood was 25 degrees this morning, and as best I can tell, it’s clear. Along the river, we had a bit of a Nothing, but that’s already burning off. Do be careful on the roads this morning as the combo of clear sky, cold temps, and long nights may have created some frost or black ice. Any slickness melts by this afternoon as temps rise to the mid 40s. Wind will be E 25mph at Iwash (RELEASE THE ENTIRE PEDO-FILES) Rock all day and 15-20mph near Stevenson. The rest of us get light easterlies. High clouds move in this afternoon, and if we’re lucky, they’ll be thin enough for a spectacular sunset.
Monday Gorge weather forecast
On Monday morning, thin high clouds leave us with frost away from the river and a Nothing hugging it like me hugging you on a rough day (with your consent, of course). Additional clouds move in later. Temps max out in the mid 40s. Wind will be E 25mph in the usual spots in the morning and 10-15mph out of the west between Stevenson and Hood River in the afternoon. Somewhere in the middle, the wind will be perfectly calm. Take advantage of that to connect with the calm that lives deep in your heart underneath everything else that’s happening.
Tuesday Gorge weather forecast
Overnight Monday, a little rain or wet snow is possible east of Arlington, but that’s National Weather Service Pendleton’s ‘forecast area, not mine. Drizzle falls west of Wyeth on Tuesday morning for a few hours before we’re all left with partly cloudy sky, highs in the upper 40s, and west wind at 15-20mph as far east as Rufus. Wednesday looks dry and boring. Models hint at rain returning on Thursday afternoon and continuing through the weekend.
Extended Gorge weather forecast
In an interesting twist, the GFS takes the snow level under 5000′ starting Friday and continuing into the foreseeable future. The Euro takes the snow level that low Saturday through Monday and shoots it back up into the Pineapple Express temp zone to start next week. It’s completely impossible to do anything more than broad-brushing the forecast with that kind of range. All I can say is that it’s likely to be damp, perhaps even wet, starting Thursday and continuing for a while. Hope that helps. Safe travels. -TATAS
