Mt. Hood Weather Forecast
It’s a sunny start to Sunday, and today will be the last of the sun for a while. Go get it! It’s unclear if we’ll be seeing rain or snow or a mix this week, but we’ll definitely be seeing precipitation.
Sunday: sunshine until late afternoon when clouds move int. Free air freezing level: 5000′ early, 6500′ in the afternoon, 5500′ overnight. Wind will be light SW all day and E 10 overnight. Meadows has their Nordic Extravaganza today, and they plan to open Superbowl.
Monday starts off with wet snow, possibly mixed with some wet rain. That’s probably going to turn to pure rain in the afternoon. The snow level will be 5500′ early, 5000′ midday, and 6000′ overnight. About 0.3” water value (WV) falls during the day, for 1-3” wet snow. About 0.2” rain falls overnight. Wind will be E 10 early, SE 10 midday, SW 10 in the afternoon, and E 10 overnight. Probably could have said “light and variable”, eh?
Tuesday looks rainy, possibly switching to snow overnight, depending on which model you believe. The snow level will be 6000′ early, 6500′ in the afternoon, and 5000′ after midnight (maybe). About 0.5” rain falls during the day and 0.3” mixed precip overnight, for up to 1” of new. Wind will be E 10 early, WNW 15 in the afternoon, WSW 25 after midnight.
Wednesday’s models disagree. The GFS keeps temps cold enough for snow, and the Euro is warm enough for rain. It ain’t going to be a powder day, but that’s all that clear. Not-dry weather continues through the end of the week.
Gorge Wind
Sunday starts with E 15-20 near Rooster and 10-15 near Stevenson and Viento. The wind will go calm by 2pm. Monday starts calm. Afternoon wind will be E 10-15 near Stevenson and Rooster. Tuesday looks like light easterlies all day. These systems move through Wednesday morning and weak high pressure temporarily builds offshore. This brings a round of westerlies: gusty 13-16 in the west and gusty 23-28 from Mosier to Arlington.

Road and Mountain Biking
Syncline and Columbia Hills remain your best Gorge options for mountain biking at this time. Sounds like some stuff is open on Hospital Hill. While it is currently possible to ride the stunts and jumps at Family Man, Post Canyon trails are still under about 4” of wet snow according to a report from yesterday. In road biking news, State Road, Mosier to The Dalles, and Sevenmile have been swept of gravel and were frequented by ALL the road bikers yesterday. Should be AWESOME today. The grass widows are blooming, but there’s no sign of Balsam Root yet.
Upcoming Events
On Sunday, there’s by-donation yoga at Samadhi at 9am. There’s ping pong at the Skamania County Fairgrounds at 10:30, pickup touch rugby for all ages at 11am at the Hood River Marina, and indoor Ultimate Frisbee at 5pm at Horizon Christian School. The movie “The Bikes of Wrath” ($10) plays at Columbia Center for the Arts on Wednesday.
