The snow level will be 1500-2000′ all day. After the snow stops this evening, the freezing level will fall to 0-500′. About 1.3” water value (WV) will fall during the day, for 12-14” of new snow of the wind-affected powder variety. Another 0.1” falls in the evening, for just another inch. Wind will be NW 50 (problematic) early, NW 30-35 midday (just fine), and NE 20 after midnight.

Gorge Wind Forecast
Strong offshore high pressure on Saturday morning combines with a low moving inland into BC for a strong west wind day. Expect 25-30 in the west early-early with 15-20 east. The wind quickly builds to 30-35 from Moiser to Rufus after sunrise with 28-32 at Arlington. The strongest wind lasts through noon or 1pm before fading to 28-32 from Mosier to Arlington for a few hours and then dropping rapidly after 4pm. Areas west of Swell will likely stay showery all day, lowering wind quality. Clouds will likely make Swell gusty, but still, 25-30 is possible there through early afternoon.Sunday looks light and variable. Monday starts with 18-22 from Viento to Hood River, fills in to Stevenson, and then quickly fades to 10-13 in the afternoon.

Post, Whoopdee and Hospital are definitely too muddy to ride without doing damage. Syncline may be rideable today (with freeze-thaw above 1500′), but it’s going to be too windy to be pleasant. Warmer weather next week will make it tempting, but it appears overnight temps will dip below freezing. Please don’t. Freeze-thaw conditions will be prevalent on Syncline, Hospital, and Post, and you will do significant and permanent damage. Better: gravel riding.Upcoming Events
You can volunteer at the Rebuild-it Center from 9am to 1pm on Saturdays. Coming up Sunday: Zen meditation from 3-5pm at Hood River Foundation for Vibrant Living. An ice cream social at Rockford Grange from 4:30 to 6:30. Indoor Ultimate Frisbee ($5) at Hood River Middle School from 5pm to 7pm.
