Mt. Hood Snow Forecast
It’s Sunday morning, and east wind is blasting the slopes to start the day. The wind will slowly fade, but definitely not die off completely. A much calmer, still sunny day is forecast on Monday followed by high clouds and near-freezing temps through Thursday. Our next snowstorm is forecast for Thursday night; models currently call for about half a foot of new snow.
Sunday starts off windy enough to shut down lifts. All lifts are currently on standby at Timberline (6:55am). About half the lifts at Meadows are on standby as of the time of this report. Fun fact: the wind gusted to 94mph at the top of Cascade last night and was gusting to 60+ at the top of Mt. Hood Express as I was writing this. The wind slowly fades today going from E 40+ this morning to E 30+ this afternoon to E 10-15 overnight. Sunshine sticks around all day. Temps will be in the single digits all day with wind chill readings below zero. Bundle up to avoid frostbite.
Sunshine and calmer weather is planned all day Monday. The free air freezing level will be 0′ all day with temps in the low teens early (or less) and upper 20’s later. Wind: E 10-15 in the morning, W 10 in the afternoon, and W 20 overnight.
Tuesday will be high overcast with a period of sun likely mid-morning. The free air freezing level will be 0′ in the morning with temps in the upper 20’s, and the free air freezing level will rise to 5000′ in the evening. Wind: W 20 in the morning, W 15 in the afternoon, and WSW 10 overnight. Wednesday looks just a touch warmer with temps in the upper 20’s to low 30’s and light SW wind. Cloudy weather Thursday morning gives way to up to half a foot of snow overnight. The snow level will be around 2000′. Models hint at continued snow through Friday, but there’s quite a bit of model spread through the weekend. Stay warm today!

Cycling
Be thoughtful about your riding choices as we enter this dry period. If it was below freezing the night before your ride, don’t ride trails that are exposed to the open air. Those trails will have freeze-thaw conditions, and you’ll do major damage. Consider gravel riding! If you’re parking at Post Canyon, you will need a parking pass. Those can be purchased at many local shops or online.
