Good morning!

At least it’s a beautiful start to the day, with another gorgeous lenticular cloudy on the top of Mt. Hood! The freezing level this morning is somewhere way up high around 8000’. That will drop to 5000’ by 1pm and further fall to 1500’ by 7pm, making for some interesting post-frontal wind. We’ll see .6” of precip between noon and 10pm. Call it .4” of r**n and 2” of wet snow. Winds will be SW 30-40 early, picking up to WSW 40-50 by 1pm and going to a messy NW 40-50 by 7pm.

Tomorrow looks dry with the freezing level at 1000’ early and NW wind at 20-25. The wind will fade during the day, and the freezing level will rise to around 6000’.

Tuesday starts off dry and clear, with high clouds moving in late in the day and the freezing level around 2000’. The wind will be light early, picking up to W 20-25 by 1pm. Snow moves in overnight for .3” water value for 2-3” of new snow.

On Wednesday, we’ll see NW wind at 30-40 to start, swinging around to N and then strong E wind through Thursday, meaning we’ll have to watch for high winds on the slopes. At this point, the weather looks dry from Wednesday through next weekend.

If you are a windsurfer or kiter looking for wind, you’ll find W 24-28 in the desert this afternoon. You’ll find E 22-24 tomorrow morning at Stevenson and Rooster. Tuesday morning brings E 15-18, quickly switching to W 22-24 by 1pm. Expect big, big easterlies on Thursday.

Have an awesome day today!

Good morning!

I got so distracted by the foot of new snow yesterday that I forgot to post the forecast!

So much for our sunny skies on the mountain today. Turns out the weather system dropped further south than predicted, leaving us with clouds and a few snow showers. We’ll see the snow level rise to near 9000’ this afternoon with SW wind at 20-30 and less than .1” of precipitation.

Tomorrow looks cloudy to start with rain moving in around 1pm. The snow level will be at 9000’ early, dropping to 4500’ around 4pm and holding through 10pm. We’ll see about .7” of moisture for .4” rain and 2-3” of new snow. Winds will be SW 30-40 early, picking up to SW 40-50 by 10am and going to a problematic W 40-45 by 4pm and slowly fading late in the evening.

Monday looks sunny. The freezing level will be 1000’ early, rising to 6000’ in the afternoon. Winds will be NW 15-20 early, fading during the day.

Tuesday looks cloudy as a system moves in. At this point, it looks like it will stay north of us, limiting snowfall.

Have an awesome day today!
