Mt. Hood Snow Forecast
As I was writing this, Meadows and Timberline had picked up about 13” in the storm cycle. They’ll get some more snow tonight (Thursday night), although there’s a chance of some freezing rain mixed in. A mostly dry Friday and Friday night gives way to more snow on Saturday and into Sunday, although temps will be on the rise. We’ll talk more about that later.
For Thursday night, the snow level will be around 1500′, and it’ll drop to 500′ overnight. About 0.4” WE is expected, for 4-5” dry powder. Wind will be W 10 turning variable to 10 overnight. Friday starts with light snow and turns cloudy. The snow level will be 500′-1000′ early. About an inch of snow is expected early in the morning. In the afternoon, we see warm air moving in from the west and cold air entrenched in the east under cloudy sky with dry weather. The most common scenario with this is temps bouncing around a bit. It does seem like the slopes are likely to stay subfreezing, although temps will rise from 20ish in the morning to 30ish in the afternoon. A trace of mixed precip is possible after midnight. Wind: W 10 in the morning turning to SW 5-15 in the afternoon and SW 15-30 overnight.
Saturday sees a bit of struggle with competing air masses. Best precip guess is snow turning to wet snow. The snow level will be 0′ near Mt. Hood and the Gorge with temps at 850mb (5000′ or so) hovering right around freezing. About 0.3” to 0.4” water equivalent (WE) arrives during the day for 3-4” of dense snow. Another 0.2” WE is in the cards overnight for 1-2” more as temps rise just above freezing. Wind: S 15-30 during the day fades to SW 5-10 overnight. Sunday currently looks snowy, but the snow level will hover right around 5000′. Wind: light to moderate. We’ll dive in deeper tomorrow and see how the temp forecast for Sunday is faring. Models suggest warming weather Monday into Tuesday. All that said, Friday looks pretty darn good for anything you want to do on the mountain!
