Mt. Hood Weather Forecast
Timberline, Meadows, Teacup, Meadows Nordic, and Skibowl tubing are all open today. Meadows is passholders only. Masks are required everywhere, and please, please don’t go to the mountain if you’re sick or if you’ve been around a covid case in the last two weeks.Weather for Saturday will be sunny through 4pm or so. Clouds and rain move in by 7pm. The snow level will be 11,000′ in the morning, 6000′ when the “weather” hits, and will fall to 4500′ overnight. The incoming system has 5000′ temps of 2-4C, which doesn’t bode well for the initial precip; let’s call it wet snow or rain that switches to snow at 5000′ after midnight. About 0.4” water equivalent (WE) is coming. We’ll see maybe an inch or two of wet snow from that. Wind: S 10-15 early builds to SW 20-35 this afternoon and fades to SW 10-20 after midnight.
Light snow continues on Sunday morning before we see a transition to partly cloudy sky in the afternoon and clear sky overnight. The snow level will be 4500′ early, 4000′ in the afternoon, and 10,000′ overnight. Just 0.1” WE is available, for up to 1” of new snow. Wind: SW 10-120 in the morning, NW 5 in the afternoon and evening.
Monday looks sunny for the first half of the day, high overcast in the afternoon, and clear overnight. The free air freezing level will be 10,000′ in the morning, 11,000′ in the afternoon, and 12,000′ overnight. Wind: NW 5 early, SW 15-25 in the afternoon, and SW 25-45 overnight.
Models disagree on the amount of precipitation for Tuesday, but they seem to think it will be warm precipitation. Predicted temps for 5000′ are 4-8C. Warm! Cooler weather and additional precip in the form of snow is forecast later next week.

Do be aware of the possibility of freeze-thaw (muddy) conditions this week, especially on trails that are not under a tree canopy. Do not ride if it was below freezing last night and is above freezing when you want to ride. The soil structure will be liquefied, and you will do permanent damage to trails. Consider riding gravel roads instead. GP will be closed through December for upgrades. Contact HRATS if you’d like to help.Sprinter Van of the Week!
