Mt. Hood Forecast
A giant powder day is on tap for Saturday, and the sun will likely join the picture by late morning. After today, we’re looking at five or so days that are either dry or nearly so. Towards the end of next week, models are hinting at the possibility of a weak, but quite warm atmospheric river. We’ll keep a close eye on it!
Orographic snowfall keeps the mountain from breaking into full sun this morning, but it should happen this afternoon before high clouds return. The snow level will be 1000-1500′ all day, and will rise to about 2500′ after midnight. Just an inch or so is expected before the sky clears, and just a trace is expected overnight. Wind: NW 30-35 in the morning, WNW 25-30 int eh afternoon, and NW 25-30 overnight.
Sunday starts with low clouds and light orographic snowfall. The day ends clear and sunny. The snow level will be 2500′ early and will rise to 6500′ in the afternoon. Just a trace of snow is expected. Wind: NW 25-30 early, SW 10-15 in the afternoon and overnight.
Clear sky and warmer weather is forecast for Monday. The free air freezing level will be 6500′ int eh morning, 5000′ in the afternoon, and 2000′ after midnight. No precip. Wind: SW 5-15 int eh morning, SW 10-25 in the afternoon and overnight. Tuesday looks cloudy early and sunny later with a freezing level of 2000-2500′ and moderate SW wind. Get the powder today, and enjoy the sun this week!
Note on wind speeds. Different wind directions are experienced in different ways on Mt. Hood. For example, west wind at 50mph will hit the slopes and exposed ridges at W 50. SW 50 may hit the ridges at SW 50, but will likely only be SW 20 below tree line. Hence the ranges for wind. Depends where you are on the mountain. Hopefully that helps clarify.

Cycling
We are in winter riding season, and the trails are apt to be fragile. If it was below freezing last night and is above freezing now, don’t ride. If it was below freezing last night and it is sunny now, don’t ride unless you are under a tree canopy for the entire ride. Freeze-thaw conditions, when ridden upon, result in permanent trail damage. Please consider doing something else, perhaps riding a gravel road in the trees or going to the mountain. Thank you!
