Mt. Hood Weather Forecast
There’s been some excellent XC and skate skiing and apparently BC skiing as well the last few days, and the snowpack is only going to grow more this week. Timberline: open, but you need reservations. Teacup: open, and you need to wear a mask. Meadows: opening 11/30, reservations required. Meadows Nordic: unknown. Weather this week: snowfall Monday, Tuesday evening, Wednesday daytime, and Wednesday night. Dry weather Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday. Just a note: I have switched from “water value” (WV) to “water equivalent” (WE) for two reasons. First, it is more correct. Second, it spells something.A fast-moving cold front swings through on Monday for a few inches of snow. The snow level will be 2500′ daytime and 4000′ or so overnight. About 0.2” to 0.3” water equivalent (WE) falls during the day, for 2-3” of fresh Cascade-style power. Just a trace falls overnight. Wind: WNW 35 in the morning, NW 20-25 in the afternoon, and WNW 15-20 after midnight.
Tuesday will be clear above 8000′ an in the morning, clear above 6500′ in the afternoon, and snowy in the evening and overnight. In other words, the slopes will be cloudy in the morning unless you get way up high. The snow level will be about 4000′ in the morning, 4500′ in the afternoon, 3500′ in the evening, and 2000-2500′ overnight. About 0.8” WE falls overnight, for 7-9” of new. Wind: WNW 15-20 early, SW 20-40 in the afternoon, W 35 in the evening, and WSW 25-40 overnight.
Snow continues Wednesday. The snow level will be 2000-2500′ in the morning, 2500′ in the afternoon, and about 1000′ under clear sky overnight. About 0.5” WE falls during the day, for 5-6” of powder. Another 0.2” falls overnight, for 2-3” more. Wind: WSW 30-40 in the morning, W 20 in the afternoon, and NW 20-25 after midnight. Thursday looks clear and cold. Friday looks clear and warmer with the freezing level rising to 9000′ in the afternoon. Models disagree on Saturday – might be dry, might pick up a little bit of precip. Enjoy the early-season snow!
