Mt. Hood Weather Forecast
A few more days of mostly-sunny weather are in the forecast for Mt. Hood before we see a switch to snow and much, much colder weather this weekend.Tuesday looks sunny for a good portion of the day before high clouds move in. The sky clears again overnight. The free air freezing level (FAF) will be 4000′ early, 6500′ in the afternoon, and 4000′ overnight. Sounds like great spring skiing! Wind: SW 15 early, W 20 in the afternoon, and W 30 overnight.
Wednesday sees clouds in the valleys below 4000′ with sunshine on the slopes. The FAF will be 4000′ early, 3000′ in the afternoon, and 1000′ overnight. Wind: W 30 in the morning, NW 20 in the afternoon, and NNW 20 after midnight.
One last day of clear sunny weather is in the forecast for Thursday. The FAF will be 1000′ early and 4000′ in the afternoon and evening. Wind: NNW 20 early, NW 10 in the afternoon, and W 15 overnight.
The general picture for Friday through Sunday is cold. Models suggest some snow will fall Friday afternoon through midday Saturday, but precipitation amounts are all over the place. Temp forecasts are also all over the place as models disagree on the southward progression of modified arctic air. Generally speaking, expect a transition to snow from sun on Friday, snowfall Saturday, and clear, cold weather Sunday. Exact details will have to wait. Enjoy the corn snow today!
