Mt. Hood Weather Forecast
Light snowfall continues for most of the next four days on Mt. Hood. Periods of partly cloudy sky are possible, but mostly we’ll see light snowfall with temps in the teens. You might even see some snow at your house this week!For Monday, the snow level will be 1500′ during the day and will drop to 0-500′ overnight. About 0.4” water value (WV) falls on Mt. Hood during the day, for 4-5” of fluffy powder. Another 0.4” falls overnight. Repeat 4-5” of accumulation. Wind will be W 50 early, but should back off before light launch time. Otherwise, that’s 50/50 shutdown speed. Something worth noting before I continue – it was super windy last night. This morning’s snow quality will likely be affected by that. Anyway, the wind backs of to WSW 20-25 midday, W 20 in the evening, and WNW 30 after midnight.
The snow level falls to 0′ Tuesday morning and stays there all day with mountain temps in the -10C range, in the teens Fahrenheit. A trace of snow falls during the day – there might even be partly cloudy sky for a while. Another 0.3” WV arrives overnight for 3-4” of dry powder. Wind will be WNW 30 early, WSW 15-20 in the afternoon, and SW 10 overnight.
Wednesday starts out clear. A big system approaches the coast in the afternoon and kicks off more snowfall. The snow level will be 0′ all day. Mountain temps will be -10C warming to -7C overnight. About 0.3” WV falls starting around 3pm, giving us 3-4” of new snow. Wind will be SW 10 early, SE 35 in the afternoon, and SW 25-35 overnight. The location and track of this low pressure system on Thursday will impact wind, snowfall, and the snow level. That said, light snowfall should continue. Enjoy!

Hood River Weather Forecast
It’s a cloudy and drizzly morning yet again. We’ll see showers all day with wet snow mixed in. It’s all snow overnight. Temps will be in t eh mid 30’s today, dropping into the 20’s tonight. About 1-2” snow should fall overnight along the 84 corridor east of Cascade Locks. Tuesday is mostly dry with scattered flurries possible. Snow picks up after 4pm. A track to 1/2” should accumulate Tuesday night. Wednesday will be dry until 1pm or so. After that, snow picks up. We’ll probably see 2-3” in Hood River. It appears that any available moisture will fall as snow through Thursday midday and then will switch to freezing rain. It’s unclear when we will warm above freezing.
