Mt. Hood Weather Forecast
Very stormy weather is in the picture for Friday into Sunday on Mt. Hood. The snow level bounces around a bit over the next few days, but the general pattern will lead to significant snow accumulation. 8-9” of snow fell last night at Timberline and Meadows. Lots more is on the way. Before you get too excited to hike for turns, know that Meadows has implemented their no-hiking policy. You’ll have to use the routes outside the ski area boundary to hike – no hiking in the resort. Other good news: Teacup has been grooming.Weather for Friday looks hella stormy. The snow level will be about 5000′ in the morning, 3500′ in the afternoon, and 2000′ after midnight. About 1.3” water value (WV) falls between the time of this forecast and 4pm, for 10-12” of dense, base-building snow. Another 0.6”-0.8” WV falls tonight, for 7-9” of lighter snow. Wind will be WSW 40-60+ this morning, WNW 55-60 this afternoon (that would be enough to shut down all the lifts), and WNW 50 overnight. This will make for dangerous conditions on the passes due to blizzard/whiteout conditions and drifting snow. Avoid the passes if you can tonight, and carry a shovel in your car if you must drive.
Saturday starts with light flurries and scattered sunbreaks. Snowfall increases after 10am, switches briefly to rain (perhaps) overnight, and switches back to snow on Sunday morning. The snow level will be 1500-2000′ early, 2500′ in the afternoon, 6000′ (briefly) in the evening, and 4500′ after midnight. About 0.4” WV falls during the day, for 4-5” of dry snow. Another 1.0” WV arrives overnight. Call that 5-7” of wet snow with a period of rain possible as high as 6000′. Wind: WNW 50 in the morning, SW 20-35 in the afternoon, W 45-50 (blizzard conditions) overnight.
Light snowfall continues on Sunday with sunbreaks. The snow level will be 4500′ during the day and 3500′ overnight. About 0.4” WV falls daytime, for 3-4” of dense snow. Just a trace falls overnight. Wind: W 45-50 early, W 35 in the afternoon, SW 5-10 overnight. Warmer weather arrives on Monday. The snow level climbs to 10,000′. At this point, it appears the bulk of the moisture is headed to the north of us, but that could change. Stay tuned!
