Mt. Hood Snow Forecast
Hi shredders! The snow just keeps on coming, but don’t you worry. It’s about to stop for a bit and leave us with a week, or nearly a week, of spring conditions. But between now and then, we have about 1.5 to 2.0 feet of new snow on the way.
Sunday night into Monday will be snowy. The snow level falls from 3500′ to 1500′ overnight. About 0.5” water equivalent (WE) is forecast for 5-7” new snow. Wind will be W 40 (orographic assistance, yo!) overnight and SW 15-30 early Monday morning.
Monday starts clear above 6000′ and cloudy down low. This can occasionally result in freezing drizzle in that cloud layer. Just FYI. Don’t worry – by late morning, the clouds deepen and snowfall increases. Want sun? Early, my friends. The snow level will be 2000′ early, 3000′ in the afternoon, and 2500′ to 3000′ overnight. About 0.1” to 0.2” WE is forecast by 5pm for a couple inches of new snow. About 0.6” We is forecast overnight for 6-7” more. Wind will be SW 15-20 in the morning, SW 25-40 in the afternoon, and WSW 35-45 overnight.
Heavy snow continues on Tuesday and backs off in the afternoon. Overnight: flurries then clear sky. The snow level will be 2500-3000′ early, 2000′ in the afternoon, and 1000-1500′ under clear sky after midnight. About 0.7” WE falls during the day with orographic assistance. Call it 7-9” new snow. 0.1” falls overnight for just an inch more. Wind: WSW 35-45 prior to dawn, W 40 midday (storm skiing!), W 35 in the afternoon, and NW 20-30 overnight.
Wednesday looks clear in the morning and partially high overcast in the afternoon with clear sky overnight. The free air freezing level will be 1000-1500′ early, 2000′ in the afternoon, and 2500′ overnight. Wind: NW 20-30 early, NW 10-15 in the afternoon, and NE 10-15 after midnight. That’s the last cold day for a while. If you want packed powder, get it then.
By Thursday afternoon, temps will be in the mid 30’s under sunny sky. The weather stays sunny and keeps getting warmer through the weekend. Models do hint at colder weather returning for the middle of the following week, but that’s way too far out to predict accurately. In the meantime, enjoy the pow the next couple of days!

Gorge Wind Forecast
Hi friends! Monday starts calm. Easterlies rise to 15 at Cascade Locks and 10ish to the east of Hood River in the afternoon. Rainy. High temp: 47F. River flow Sunday was 77-115kcfs, river temp is 43F. Tuesday starts calm west of The Dalles and 10-13 east of The Dalles to Arlington. The wind slowly builds to 25-29 from Avery to Boardman with 14-17 from Stevenson to Doug’s. There’s still quite a bit of range in the forecast for the eastern Gorge, but at least 40% of the ensemble members have gusts into the 40’s which would give us averages in the upper 20’s. Fingers crossed. High temp: 48F with rain all day at least to Hood River. Wednesday starts with 14-17 from Stevenson to Arlington and settles in at 14-17 from Stevenson to The Dalles with 7-10 out east in the afternoon. High temp: 50F with clouds early and sun later.
Extended forecast: the upcoming “heat wave” – temps in the 60’s – lasts through early next week. There are some signs in the models that this will break summer-style: offshore high pressure, cold air rushing in, NW flow, and heat in the desert. If this happens, we’ll see a big west wind day sometime between Monday and Wednesday. Let’s watch this closely!

How about some more snow? Yeah? Good, let’s do it! Light snow, an inch or so, on Saturday night gives way to heavier snow Sunday. The snow level will be 3500′ all day with temps rising to the upper 20’s. Overnight, the snow level falls to 2500′. About 0.5” to 0.6” water equivalent (WE) is forecast during the day for 5-6” new snow. Overnight, another 0.3” WE falls for 3” more. Wind: SW 30-55 all day dropping to SW 15-25 overnight.

About 0.1” WE falls during the day for an inch of new. Another 0.6” WE falls overnight for 5-7” more. Wind: SW 15-25 all day, WSW 30-40 in the evening, and SW 25-40 overnight.
Snow continues on Tuesday: 0.6” WE during the day and 0.2” WE overnight. The snow level will be 3000′ early, 2500′ in the afternoon, and 1500′ overnight. Call that 6-7” snow during the day and 2-3” overnight. Wind: SW 25-40 early, W 30-35 in the afternoon, and NW 25-35 overnight. The W and NW wind could cause snow totals to exceed expectations.

Several days of west wind are on tap. That’ll be followed by warm, sunny easterlies to finish off next week. For Sunday, we starts with E 15 at Stevenson and just at Stevenson. Early in the afternoon, the wind picks up to W 10-13 from Stevenson to Doug’s and gusty 18-23 from Biggs to Boardman. River flow Saturday was 76-112kcfs, river temp is 42.98F, and high temp forecast is 53F. Monday starts with W 7-10 or so all the way from Stevenson to Boardman. The wind picks up to 15-17 from Avery to Rufus with 7-10 to the east and west. High temp: 49F and rainy. Tuesday starts with 7-10 all through the Gorge. Offshore high pressure builds and sends the wind upward. Details aren’t certain yet, but mid teens are likely in the west with mid to upper 20’s (and Indian food) from Biggs to Boardman. High temp: 48F. Fingers crossed!
