Mt. Hood Weather Forecast
The next few days on Mt. Hood look clear and warm, but a pattern change starting next week sets us up for significant snowfall. Models do not agree on the amount of snowfall, but something is better than nothing!
So, for Sunday and Monday, Mt. Hood will be clear. Free air freezing level: 11,000′. Wind: light and variable. Tuesday starts off clear. Clouds move in overnight. Free air freezing level 9000′ during the day and 6000′ overnight. Widn: SSW 10 rising steadily to SSW 35 after midnight.
Light precip falls all day on Wednesday. It appears the snow level will be 6000′ or so, perhaps a bit higher, meaning there won’t be much accumulation, if any. Broad-brushing Thursday through Saturday midday: A series of wet systems arrive. The snow level will initially be near 5000′ but will fall to 2000′ or so by Saturday morning. Models disagree on the exact storm track, meaning Mt. Hood may or may not be in the precip bullseye. Model predictions range from one to three feet for that period. Models then diverge, with the GFS bringing in a round of warm rain and the Euro building in dry weather. So… no forecast is possible past Friday!
Gorge Wind Forecast
It’s Sunday morning, and the easterlies are stronger than yesterday. If you like easterlies, you’ll be quite happy for the next couple of days. For Sunday, you’ll find 40-50 near Rooster Rock, 30-35 near Stevenson, and 20-25 near Viento. The wind should hold all day, becoming gustier after noon. Monday and Tuesday both looks like 50-55 near Rooster Rock and 35-40 near Stevenosn with 20-25 near Viento. A weather system on Wednesday will knock down the afternoon wind; you’ll find 35-40 near Rooster Rock in the morning and 10-15 in the afternoon.
