Saturday-Sunday Mt Hood snow and Gorge wind and weather. Got distracted by the icy roads this morning…

Hey skiers and snowboarders! Apologies for the late forecast today. Or maybe it’s just an early forecast for tomorrow – eventually the forecast (theoretically) switches to the evening during ski season. Speaking of, it seems unlikely ski season will start in the next two weeks. While there are periods of colder weather in the next…

MT HOOD SNOW FORECAST

COMING SOON TO A VOLCANO NEAR YOU!

Hey skiers and snowboarders! Apologies for the late forecast today. Or maybe it’s just an early forecast for tomorrow – eventually the forecast (theoretically) switches to the evening during ski season. Speaking of, it seems unlikely ski season will start in the next two weeks. While there are periods of colder weather in the next couple of weeks, the bulk of the precipitation looks to come in too warm.

Let’s look at the next few days: there really isn’t much to see Saturday through Wednesday: The snow level Saturday drops from 8000′ in the morning to 1000′ overnight. A trace of snow is possible overnight. Wind: S 10-20 in the morning, W 10 in the afternoon, and NW 10 after midnight.

Sunday’s Mt Hood snow forecast

Sunday will be clear and then partly high overcast. The free air freezing level will be 0′ in the morning, 5000′ in the afternoon, and 8000′ after midnight. No snow. No rain. Less than 15mph of wind for the 24 hour period.

Monday’s Mt Hood snow forecast

Monday looks warmer – freezing level of 8000′ – with partly cloudy sky and NW wind that builds from 10mph in the morning to 30mph overnight.

Extended mt hood snow forecast

A trace of snow is possible Tuesday into Wednesday as a weak system moves in. Snow level: 4500′ dropping to 1500′. Wind: NW 30 in the morning, NW 20 in the afternoon, and N 10 after midnight. Additional moisture is forecast starting Thursday, but temps at 850mb (~5000′) are forecast to be well above freezing at least through the weekend and potentially for longer; uncertainty skyrockets starting Sunday, but the mean forecast temp is above 0C at 850mb. Let’s hope that changes! I want to play in the snow, and I bet you do too!

Hey neighbors! Goodness gracious am I late with the forecast today. The roads have just been a mess all day with slippery vehicles: a gray suburban, a black suburban, a white van, and a blue Ford Exhibition. It’s just hard to get anything done when there are so many vehicles around without license plates. At least the roads aren’t covered in snow and ice while folks are trying to keep track of things!

Glenwood this morning

Well anyway, you kinda know what today’s weather will be by now. If you’re curious, Glenwood started the day at 31F. The rest of us will get to taste that sort of chill the next couple of mornings. It is worth mentioning that there could be a few snowflakes east of the Arlington Triangle tonight. But not here. No, no snow for you! Not yet, anyway!

Sunday’s Gorge weather forecast

Sunday starts off in the upper 20s to low 30s away from the river and slightly warmer temps near it thanks to a river-hugging Nothing cloud. In the windy zones: low 40s. Away from the river: clear sky to start. Afternoon brings some high clouds in from the west, and that probably results in a colorful wintry sunset. Temps finish up in the mid 40s. Wind: 20-25mph all day near Iwash (petzl) Rock and Stevenson.

Extended Gorge weather forecast

Monday looks similar: 26-33 to start, mid 40s to finish. High clouds and a partial Nothing in the morning give way to partly cloudy sky later. The usual spots have east wind at 15mph in the morning. Afternoon: light westerlies all through the Gorge. A tiny bit of drizzle is possible Tuesday. Wednesday looks boring. Active weather returns on Thursday. By “active”, I mean wet. It’s not clear yet how wet it will be, but it does look pretty warm, warm enough to keep the passes free of accumulating snow. Safe travels. -TATAS
