Mt. Hood Weather Forecast
Snow conditions were quite nice on Mt. Hood yesterday. Timberline, Meadows, and Teacup will all be operating today with packed powder and hardpack conditions. Get it now, because rain is on the way and will wash away a lot of the snow on Tuesday.
For Sunday, clear sky turns increasingly cloudy. A wee trace of rain may fall overnight. Snow level: 8000′-9000′. Wind: light and variable, slowly building to SW 15-20 overnight. Monday starts with light rain, perhaps more of a mist. Heavier rain moves in overnight. Snow level 8500′ or so. Precip: just a trace during the day. 1.2” of rain overnight. Wind: SW 15 early rising to SW 30+ in the afternoon and becoming WSW 40 overnight.
Tuesday looks rainy, potentially turning snowy in the evening. Snow level: 8500′ early, 6000′ in the afternoon, and as low as 4500′ after midnight. Models really disagree on this, with the ECMWF and 850mb GFS keeping the snow level no lower than 5500′. Precip: daytime: 0.5” that falls as rain. Overnight: 0.1” that falls as a rain snow mix for a trace of new.
Another system comes through on Wednesday night bringing about 0.5” water value. Again, models disagree on the snow level. Models then disagree on the exact details of the weather beyond Wednesday, making it truly difficult to make a prediction. Let’s wait for better agreement before speculating on next weekend, shall we?
Gorge Wind Forecast
Sunday’s wind: easterlies maxing out at 30-35 near Rooster Rock and 20-25 near Stevenson and Viento. Added bonus: morning sunshine is likely in the west end of the Gorge. Monday’s wind will be 40-45 near Rooster and 25-30 near Stevenson. Speeds will drop about 10-15mph in the afternoon as rain moves in. Tuesday looks like E 10-15 near Stevenson with W 10-15 near Rooster Rock. Other areas of the Gorge will have light and variable wind.
JONES, SAUVIE’S, COAST: now on vacation for the fall and winter. Will return in spring.

Road and Mountain Biking
Post is too wet to ride without damaging it. Some areas of Whoopdee and Hospital will also be too wet. Syncline is your best bet at this point, or you could try gravel roads or pavement.
