Mt. Hood Snow Forecast
One more sunny day on Mt. Hood is followed by increasing clouds on Friday and then snow Saturday through Tuesday. Approximately 2-3” water equivalent is forecast over the weekend with 850mb temps (5000′ or so) hovering in the 0C to -2C range… the snow won’t be super light and fluffy, but it should be plentiful – a couple of feet, easy.
But first… a sunny Thursday. The free air freezing level will be 0′ in the morning, 2500′ in the afternoon, and 4000′ overnight. No precip… just sunshine! Wind will be NW 20-25 in the morning, W 5-10 in the afternoon, and SW 10-15 overnight. Friday starts with high clouds moving in from the west. This probably triggers a spectacular sunrise. Partly high overcast sky sticks around all day, and very light snowfall starts up after midnight for a trace of new by 4am Saturday. The free air freezing level will be 4000′ in the morning, 8000′ in the afternoon (temps around 40-42F) and 4000′ overnight. Wind: SW 5-15 early, S 10-20 in the afternoon, and SW 25-45 overnight.
Saturday will be snowy. The snow level starts around 4000′ and bounces around between 3000′ and 4000′ before settling at 3500′. About 0.3” water equivalent (WE) is forecast during the day for 3” of new. Overnight: a trace to an inch of new snow. Wind: SW 25-45 all day and all night, with the speed depending on elevation. Moderate snowfall continues on Sunday with the snow level around 3500′. Total snowfall will be 3-5” during the day and 3-5” overnight. Light snowfall continues on Tuesday. Starting Thursday, the weather turns much warmer and very sunny with 850mb (5000′) temps soaring well above freezing. A little bit of everything in the next 10 days, eh?

Gorge Wind Forecast
Hi friends! Nice to see you on the water on Wednesday afternoon! Thursday starts with westerlies at 11-14 or so from Viento to Swell. The wind drops to 5-10 or less in the afternoon. River flow Wednesday was 98-131kcfs, river temp is 42.80F, and high temp forecast is 48F. Friday starts with E 15 at Stevenson and Iwash (Rooster) Rock. The wind builds to 25 at Stevenson and 20 at Iwash midday and then evens out at 20 at both places in the afternoon. High temp: 53F under increasing high clouds. Saturday starts calm with W 10-15 at Iwash. Afternoon wind rises to 5-10 (with rain) in the west and gusty 18-22 (and partly cloudy sky) from Avery to Boardman. High temp: 49F. Sunday is unlikely to be any stronger and will most likely be lighter. In an interesting twist, models are suggesting moderately strong easterlies towards the end of next week along with temps at 60+. Let’s keep an eye on that!

Mt. Hood Snow Forecast
If y’all want to ski some excellent groom, you’ve got the next three days. The first two will have stellar corduroy AND sunshine. What more could you want? Okay, powder, but you got that on Tuesday! Looking ahead to the weekend, we see moisture in the picture. Saturday definitely looks snowy. The operational GFS has temps right on the edge on Sunday. Let’s wait until tomorrow to make a call, k?
In the meantime… Wednesday will be gorgeous on the mountain. The free air freezing level will be 0′ in the morning, 2000′ in the afternoon, and 0′ overnight under clear, blue sky. Temps max out in the mid 20’s. Expect packed powder conditions. Wind: SW 5-10 in the morning, WNW 10-15 in the afternoon, and NW 15-25 overnight.
Thursday will be sunny all day with some high clouds moving in after midnight. The free air freezing level will be 0′ in the morning, 2500′ in the afternoon, and 4000′ after midnight. Temps max out in the upper 20’s. Wind: NW 15-25 early, Variable to 5 in the afternoon, and SW 5-15 after midnight.
A gorgeous sunrise Friday morning gives way to a high overcast day. The free air freezing level will be 4000′ early, 8000′ in the afternoon, and back down to 4000′ overnight. Temps max out in the upper 30’s or low 40’s. Wind: SW 5-15 in the morning, S 10-20 in the afternoon, and SW 25-40 after midnight.
Models drag in some snow, perhaps half a foot total, on Saturday with the snow level around 3500′. Up to another 1.0” water equivalent is forecast Sunday into Monday. Models are a bit up in the air (pun intended) about how warm it will get on Sunday. Probably not too warm for snow, but definitely too warm for dry powder. Models then keep us cool and dry for the first half of next week. That’s followed by a sharp warming trend for the later half of the week. Let’s leave it there for now. Have a great Wednesday on the slopes!

Gorge Wind Forecast
Hi friends! Tuesday over-performed, and it’s likely Wednesday will too thanks to offshore high pressure. You’ll just have to wait for it to warm up – it’ll be a sub-freezing start. Expect light westerlies early, less than 10mph. Late morning or early afternoon, the wind picks up to 14-17 from Stevenson to Hood River. River flow Wednesday was 100-131kcfs, river temp is 42.44F, and high temp forecast is 46F. Thursday starts with 5mph or so out of the west, rises to 5-10, and drops back below that for the afternoon. High temp: 48F and sunny. Friday sees high pressure shift inland, and that turns the wind around. The day starts with E 15 at Stevenson and 20 at Iwash (Rooster). Add 5mph or so in the afternoon. High temp: 51F under high overcast sky. Models hint at westerlies in the teens (with rain) near Hood River Saturday and Sunday with gusty 18-22 east of The Dalles. See ya on the river!
