Mt. Hood Weather Forecast
A couple feet of snow has fallen over the last two days at 5000′, setting up a solid base for packing. In anticipation, Meadows has the cats out packing the snow. That means you cannot hike for turns in the ski area – you will have to hike outside the ski area boundary. Teacup Nordic is open and groomed. Please buy a pass and help support this fabulous organization. Also, if you are going there, you will need a mask for when you cannot maintain six feet of distance from others.Weather for the Mt. Hood region for Saturday will be snowy and windy, then snowy, then rainy, then snowy. The snow level will be 2000′ early, 2500′ in the afternoon, 6000′ in the evening, and 4000′ after midnight. About 0.2” water value (WV) falls in the morning as powder – that’s 2-3” of dry, light snow. Another 2.2” WV is forecast overnight. Some of that will be wet, heavy snow, some of that will likely be rain, and the after-midnight precip will fall as snow. How much of each? Best guess is 12-15” of heavy snow at 5000′ with 0.5” to 1.0” of rain. Wind: NW 30 in the morning becoming SW 20-30 in the afternoon. The wind builds to WSW 50-65 in the evening and turns to W 45 after midnight.
Orographic snowfall and sunbreaks start Sunday, and full sun is forecast for the afternoon. Snow returns after midnight. The snow level will be 4000′ in the morning and 3500′ overnight. Just an inch of so of snow falls during the day. Wind: W 45 early, W 25 in the afternoon, and SW 10-15 overnight.
A warmer system arrives from the south on Monday for rain on the slopes. The snow level will be 3500′ in the morning, 10,000′ in the afternoon, and 11,000′ overnight. About 0.4” rain falls between 4am and 4pm with dry weather overnight. Wind: SW 10-15 early building to SW 30-45 after midnight. Slopeside temps: nearing 50 degrees after midnight. Avalanche danger will be high.
