Mt. Hood Weather Forecast
Dry and mostly sunny weather sticks around through Friday afternoon. Some sort of change arrives Friday night, but models are far from agreeing on the details of this change. We’ll have to wait it out and see… and it’s probably worth me saying that I’m going to take a day or two off this week due to the static weather situation!For Monday, expect a sunny day on the mountain. The free air freezing level (FAF) will be 0′ early and 4000′ in the afternoon, likely allowing corn snow to start to develop. It’ll probably be mixed in with patches of hardpack that may get sticky in the sun. No precip. Wind: light westerly early, W 10 in the afternoon, and SW 10 overnight.
Tuesday starts out clear. High clouds move in during the evening and go away after midnight. Free air freezing level: 4000′ early, 5500′ in the afternoon, 8000′ overnight. Wind: SW 10 early, W 20 in the afternoon, and NW 25 after midnight.
Wednesday looks sunny. FAF: 8000′ falling to 6500′ in the evening. Corn snow everywhere! Superbowl: probably a good day to hope for it. Wind: NW 25 early, NNW 15 in the afternoon, and NNE 10 overnight. Thursday: also sunny with corn snow. Friday: sunny with corn snow during the day and some snowfall overnight – anywhere from a trace to 6” if you look at the models. This is where we watch and wait. Enjoy the sunshine and corn snow this week!

Temps dipped into the 20’s on Monday morning, and that means we have a freeze-thaw alert.
