Mt. Hood Weather Forecast
Clear sky sticks around Friday and most of Saturday. A period of light precip arrives on Saturday evening, and clear sky returns by Sunday afternoon. Deets for Friday: sunshine all day. The free air freezing level will be 10,000′ in the morning and 12,000′ in the afternoon. Don’t let that dissuade you – the low sun angle means much of the groom remains hardpack or packed powder (confirmed by me yesterday!). Wind today will be NE 5-10 in the morning, E 20-25 in the afternoon, and SE 20 overnight.Saturday starts clear. Clouds and wet snow or mixed precip move in around 4pm. The snow level will be 12,000′ early, 8000′ in the afternoon, 5500′ in the evening, and 3500′ overnight. Just 0.1” water equivalent (WE) falls overnight. That’s not much, is it? We’ll call it up to 1/2” snow overnight. Wind: SE 20 in the morning, SW 15-25 in the afternoon and evening, and W 25 after midnight.
By Sunday morning, the snow level will be down to 3000′. It’ll rise to 3500′ in the afternoon, and 10,000′ under clear sky overnight. About 0.3” water equivalent falls as snow in the morning for 2-4” at 5000′ That snow ends by midday, with clear sky above 5500′. Wind: W 25 early. W 15 mid-morning, W 5 overnight, and NW 5 Monday morning.
Monday looks clear in the morning with high clouds in the afternoon. The freezing level will be 10,000′ to 11,000′. Wind will be NW 5 in the morning and SW 15-25 in the evening. Models don’t agree about next week’s weather; about half the ensembles bring us snow. The other half keep things dry. Fingers crossed for snow!

Do be aware of the possibility of freeze-thaw (muddy) conditions this week, especially on trails that are not under a tree canopy. Do not ride if it was below freezing last night and is above freezing when you want to ride. The soil structure will be liquefied, and you will do permanent damage to trails. Consider riding gravel roads instead. GP will be closed through December for upgrades. Contact HRATS if you’d like to help.Sprinter Van of the Week!
