Mt. Hood Weather Forecast
It’s going to be a sunny Sunday on Mt. Hood. If you can’t make it up, the next couple of days will be dry as well. Starting Wednesday midday, we move into a wetter pattern. Snow will probably fall on Wednesday into Thursday, but it appears we may see a switch to rain Thursday into Friday before a return to colder temps and additional snowfall.For Sunday, just expect clear, cold weather on the mountain. Sunshine sticks around all day. The free air freezing level will be 0-1000′ with mountain temps in the teens. Wind will be NE 15 early, WNW 10 in the afternoon, and W 10 overnight.
Monday starts clear and adds some high clouds midday. The free air freezing level (FAF)will be 0′ early, 4000′ in the afternoon, and 6000′ overnight. Mountain temps max out in the upper 20’s during the day. Wind will be W 10 early, light westerly midday, SW 5-10 in the afternoon, and a touch stronger overnight.
Tuesday looks clear all day. The FAF will be 6000′ all day. Wind: S 10-15 all day long. Looking at Wednesday, precip arrives around 1pm. It appears mountain temps will be 0-2C during the day with 1.1” water value (WV) probably just cool enough for wet snowfall at 5000′. Call it 4-7” down low and 10-13” up high. More details to come as we get closer.
Looking at Thursday into Friday… the Northwest taps into The Weather Phenomenon Formerly Known as the Pineapple Express, now known as the Atmospheric River. The GFS and the ECMWF are in remarkable agreement today on the moisture targeting the Mt. Hood area. That could easily change. As of now, it appears the mountain will see about 2” water value with temps at 2-4C. That’s too warm for snow, however you slice and dice it. That said, it appears temps will drop back into the snow zone Friday through Sunday with significant accumulation. That’s all really too far out to be predicting the weather, so we’ll see if that forecast holds as we get closer!

Reports say that Hospital Hill is a freeze-thaw mess up top. That means Whoopdee is likely the same. With all the rain in the last few days, Post will be too muddy to ride. Don’t do it, or you’ll damage the trails. Try Syncline for the best results. Gravel grinding on the dirt roads is also a good option, as is road biking the Petersburg Loop in The Dalles.Upcoming Events
There’s a $5-$10 yoga class on Sunday mornings at Yoga Samadhi in White Salmon.
