Mt. Hood Weather Forecast
Heavy snowfall continues for the next 24 hours on Mt. Hood before tapering off for a couple days and likely returning at the end of next week. Details aren’t clear yet, but some sort of atmospheric river, possibility a Pineapple Express, is likely for some area of the west coast next weekend.For Sunday, expect another day of epic storm skiing with the potential for another resort shutdown this afternoon. The snow level will be 2000′ early, 1500′ around noon, and will drop to 500-1000′ tonight. Daytime accumulation will be 1.4” water value (WV), for 12-16” of new snow. . Another 0.6” WV falls overnight in cold temps, for 6-8” of fluffy powder that gets destroyed by the wind. Expect W 40 early, W 50 mid-morning, WNW 50 (bye, lifts?) early afternoon, and W 60 mid-afternoon, definitely affecting lift operations. Not sure about a complete shutdown; that’s more likely with a NW forecast. Anyway, wind turns to NW 50 in the evening (bye, lifts!) and W 50 after midnight.
Monday sees light snowfall during the day which, depending on the path of an incoming low, will likely taper off in the evening. Cold air pours in from the NE, dropping temps into the teens on the mountain. The snow level will be 1000′ early and will drop to 0′ in the evening, all across the land. About 0.3” WV falls during the day, for 3-4” of fluffy powder. Another inch or two falls overnight. Wind will be W 50 early, slowly fading to WSW 25 int eh afternoon and W 25-30 overnight.
Light snowfall continues on Tuesday with the snow level at 0′. Just a couple inches of snow falls in that 24 hour period. Wind will be W 25 early, NW 15 in the afternoon, and will turn to SW 10 after midnight as the next system approaches. Additional snowfall is forecast with SW wind Wednesday night into Thursday, after which models are hinting at some sort of atmospheric river with marginal temps at resort elevations. Models are not clear on the target of this river, nor are they clear on temps. So, we’ll just have to wait and see as we get closer. Happy riding!

Yesterday came through with a nuking 40+mph day at Arlington. Today will also be a solid day to get on the river. Do it with a partner – river temp is 41 degrees. The day starts with light west wind. As a low pressure system moves eastward across the Canada border and offshore high pressure builds, westerlies pick up to gusty 20-30 in the west and 30-35+ east of The Dalles. Arlington and Threemile will be your best bets again today. Monday starts with gusty 20-26 from Stevenson to Biggs. The wind fades during the day and turns light easterly in the afternoon or evening. Tuesday starts with E 15-20 and picks up to E 35-40 near Rooster and Stevenson.COAST, JONES, SAUVIE’S: Detailed forecast is on winter break.
