Mt. Hood Weather Forecast
Clear, calm, and gorgeous is the Sunday forecast for Mt. Hood. Take advantage of it, because the next several days look cloudy with alternating precipitation types and warmer temps. Sunday will be sunny all day. High clouds move in overnight, and light snow starts up around 4am Monday. The freezing level will be 500′ in the morning, 2500′ in the afternoon, and 500′ after midnight, for a snow level of 500′ when the precip arrives. No snow in the 24 hour period. Wind: light NE in the morning, NW 10 in the afternoon, NW 25 in the evening, and NNW 40 after midnight.Monday starts with light snowfall. It appears the precip will stay snow all day and perhaps do a drizzle-snow thing overnight. The snow level will be 500′ early, 5500′ in the afternoon, 8000′ in the evening, and back to 3500′ after midnight. Just 0.1” water value (WV) falls during the day, for up to 1” of new snow. Another 0.1” WV falls overnight, probably as drizzle that switches to snow. Wind: NNW 40 early, NW 25 in the afternoon, NW 30-35 overnight.
Tuesday looks clear above 6500′ or so with light precip below that. It appears we’ll see snow-drizzle-snow during the day. The snow level will be 3500′ early, 6500′ in the afternoon, and 4000′ overnight. Total precip will be less than 0.1” WV, for not-much impact on the slopes.

Wednesday starts out cloudy and then turns clear. Thursday looks sunny and warm with the freezing level at 8000′. Our next snowy system arrives on Friday with moderate snowfall into Saturday. Enjoy your week!
Gorge Wind Forecast
West wind continues for at least the next four days as strong offshore high pressure keeps the onshore flow flowing. After that, it appears that a series of low pressure systems will wander around offshore. That will shut down the west wind pattern.For Sunday, we’ll have W 7-10 through the whole Gorge to start. The wind picks up to 18-22 midday from Stevenson to Mosier. In the evening, probably too late to take advantage of it, westerlies build to gusty 22-26 from Stevenson to Arlington. Monday starts with gusty 23-26 from Stevenson to Arlington with 15-18 near Hood River. The wind will pick up to gusty 25-30 from Viento to Arlington with gusty, drizzly 20-25 in the west. Tuesday starts with gusty 15-18 through the whole Gorge. Rain in the west keeps the wind at 15-18. From Rowena to Arlington, afternoon wind should be in the gusty 23-26 range. Westerlies continues in the mid 20’s on Wednesday.

Yesterday’s rain probably made Post Canyon wet and slippery. Anything east of there – Hospital Hill, Ronnoc Trail @ Whoopdee, Syncline – is likely to be excellent. Given the low snowpack, we’ll need a guinea pig to test out Nestor Peak.Upcoming Events
The only thing on the schedule today is indoor Ultimate Frisbee at 5pm at the Hood River Middle School gym. Next Saturday, 2pm to 5pm, is the annual Rockford Grange Seed Swap.
