Mt. Hood Weather Forecast


Frontrunner clouds have arrived at Mt. Hood, signaling the start of a snowy period for the mountain. We’ll see cold to very cold temps into the extended forecast with significant accumulation of high-quality powder snow.

Friday starts high overcast and turns snow starting around 4pm. The snow level will be at the surface, and mountain temps will be in the low to mid 20’s. About 0.6 to 0.8” water value (WV) falls tonight, for 6-10” of epic dry powder. Wind will be light and variable early, W 15 in the afternoon, and SW 10-15 overnight. Saturday looks cold with flurries in the morning and afternoon. Mountain temps will be in the teen early, single digits in the afternoon, and near zero overnight. Snowfall: 0.1” WV during the day, for an inch of powder. Just a trace overnight. Wind will be SW 10-15 in the morning, E 15-20 in the afternoon (with below-zero wind chill) and light and variable overnight.

Sunday brings a few flurries in the morning, clear sky in the afternoon, and light snowfall overnight. The snow level will be at the surface with mountain temps in the single digits or even a wee bit below zero. Snowfall: a trace during the day. 0.2” WV overnight, for 2-3” of uber-dry powder. Bundle up, because the wind chill will be ridiculous. Light and variable wind early gives way to WNW 20 in the afternoon and overnight. Monday looks clear with temps in the teens. Snow starts up Monday night and continues into Tuesday, with over a foot of powder during the day Tuesday.
 

Gorge Windt


For Friday, we’ll have east wind at 15-20 from Rooster to Viento all day. Wind picks up tonight for blizzard conditions in the Gorge. Saturday looks like easterlies at 30-35 early, 35-40 midday (15-20 in Portland proper), and 30-35 in the evening. Sunday starts with E 10-15 and turns to W 14-17, just from Multnomah Falls to Mosier. Light wind east of there. Easterlies return Monday and nuke on Tuesday.

Road and Mountain Biking

As you can see by looking out your window, we have entered fat bike season. All the trails are snowy. We have also entered trainer bike season. The Power Station is a good place to do that, because they have a SICK virtual bike setup.
