Mt. Hood Snow Forecast
Happy Thursday evening and Friday and weekend and all that. Lemme tell you what – if you don’t skate ski, you are missing out on the most possible fun on frozen granular conditions. But hey, there’s a little snow coming in, and that might (maybe?) give you a packed powder groomed surface to carve on Friday. On the weekend, we’ll probably be going back to hardpack. A little more snow is forecast late Sunday into Monday afternoon. After a dry day on Tuesday, model agreement breaks down. Total snowfall through Monday is somewhere in the 3-5” range. Not a lot, but also not nothin’.
Friday kicks off with light snowfall and temps in the low 20’s. Snow tapers off in the afternoon and leaves us with partial high clouds. There will be an inch or two of new snow on the ground from Thursday night, and another inch or so is forecast during the day. The snow level will be 2000′ Thursday night and will fall to 1000′ by Friday morning. It climbs back to 2000′ Friday afternoon. Overnight into Saturday morning, the free air freezing level drops to somewhere between 0′ and 2000′ depending on location and cloud cover. Wind will be NW 25-30 Friday morning, NNW 10-15 in the afternoon, and the same overnight.
Saturday starts with partly cloudy sky and turns mostly clear. Clouds return overnight. The free air freezing level (FAF) will be 0-2000′ in the morning, 4000′ in the afternoon (temps in the low to mid 30’s), and 6500′ overnight. Wind: NNW 10-15 in the morning, NE 10 in the afternoon, and SW 5-10 overnight. Clouds on Sunday give way to light snowfall overnight. An inch or two is forecast with the snow level starting at 500′ and falling to 3500′. Light SW wind in the morning builds to W 20 in the afternoon and WSW 20-25 overnight.
Extended: Light snowfall continues Monday. Models currently call for a dry and sunny day Tuesday, but that’s pretty far out. Starting Wednesday, there’s quite a lot of uncertainty in the models. We’ll have to leave it there for now, because some call for rain, some snow, some dry weather, some cooler than normal, and some warmer than normal. So yeah, no way to make a forecast. Enjoy the next few days on the slopes!

Gorge Wind Forecast
A totally worthy Thursday on the river (of which I did not partake thanks to skate skiing exhaustion) gives way to lighter wind for the next few days. Friday starts with westerlies at 8-12 from Stevenson to Arlington. Models actually conflict on what happens next. It might be 13-16 from Stevenson to Mosier, and it might turn calm in the afternoon. That’s not a helpful forecast at all. Let’s compromise and hold the 8-12, shall we? We’ll count on weak offshore high pressure to keep us more-than-calm. River flow Thursday was 79-148kcfs, river temp is 39.38F, and high temp forecast is 45F with mostly cloudy sky. Saturday starts calm. Easterlies rise to 10mph or so near Stevenson in the afternoon. High temp: 46F and mostly sunny. Sunday starts with E 15 at Stevenson and E 20 at Iwash (Rooster). Afternoon wind turns light easterly or calm. High temp: 44F and partly cloudy.
