Mt. Hood Weather Forecast
A dumping snowstorm is on tap for the 24 hour period known as Saturday – up to two feet of snow is forecast to fall on Mt. Hood by Sunday morning. Another round of snow is forecast for Sunday night, and then it’s dry, clear, and sunny for the next four or five days!For Saturday, expect lots of snow all day, and lots of snow overnight. The snow level will be 2500′ early, 4500′ in the afternoon, and 1000′ after midnight. It’s possible there will be a short period of alternating rain/snow, or more likely wet snow, between 4pm and 7pm tonight as 5000′ temps rise to 0-2C. During the day, we’ll get 0.9” water value (WV), for 7-9” of middle-quality snow. Overnight, another 1.2” WV falls. Expect it to be heavy and dense at first, becoming increasingly powdery overnight. Approximately 9-12” will fall. Wind will be W 30 early, W 40 in the afternoon, and WNW 30 overnight. That’s storm skiing, in case you were wondering!

Syncline is going to be good today, and rumors have it that the upper regions of Post Canyon (behind the closed road gates) are also good. That is, they will be until pouring rain arrives today! Head east of Moiser for gravel grinding and road biking, and you should find some enjoyable conditions.Upcoming Events
