Jones, Sauvie’s, Coast – Done for the Season
Mt. Hood Snow Forecast
Mountain weather stays warm, too warm for snow, through Monday afternoon. A cold front swings through Monday night and knocks the snow level down below the passes. There’s not a ton of snow forecast, but the snow will slowly pile up. Looking at the extended forecast, there are unfortunate signs of warm and very wet weather early next weekend before a return to snow for the latter half of the weekend. It’ll all work out in the end, right?
Sunday will be dry and cloudy on the mountain until the evening. A bit of drizzle falls overnight. The snow level will be 9000′ for the 24 hour period. Just 0.1” misty drizzle is forecast overnight. Wind: W 25 in the morning, 20 in the afternoon, and WSW 30-40 overnight.
Monday will be rainy until the cold front hits early evening. Snow falls after that. The snow level will be 9000′ in the morning, 6000′ in the afternoon, 5000′ in the evening, and down around 2000′ overnight. About 1.2” rain is forecast during the day. 0.4” water equivalent (WE) or thereabouts falls in the mixed-precip period between 5pm and 8pm for up to 1-2” of wet snow. About 0.3” WE is forecast to fall as increasingly dry snow overnight for 2-4” new. Wind: WSW 30-40 in the morning, W 35 midday, W 25 in the afternoon, and WNW 20-30 overnight.
Tuesday brings intermittent light snowfall. The snow level will be 2000-2500′ during the day and will fall to 1500-2000′ overnight. About 0.2” WE is forecast daytime, for 2-3” new powder. Just a trace falls overnight. Wind: WNW 20-30 in the morning, W 20 in the afternoon, and SW 10-20 after midnight. Up to half a foot of snow is forecast Wednesday daytime.
Looking longer range… Thursday looks relatively dry but cold. Temps warm up again Friday morning and stay warm through Saturday afternoon. A truly impressive atmospheric river event (warm and rainy) is possible in that time period – models agree on the generalities but not the details, so we’ll keep watching this closely. After this, there’s quite a bit of model spread but definitely solid hints of colder weather. In other words: it’s going to be a wild ride over the next seven to ten days!

Cycling
Head out to the trails for some brown pow today! Upper elevation trails, above 4000′, are likely to have some snow coverage. Hood River County has reopened all motorized trails to motorized use. Hospital Hill, Underwood, and Whoopdee have reopened. Rifle deer season is open in both Oregon and Washington, so consider wearing safety colors while you’re riding. If you’re riding Post Canyon, you will need a parking pass. Those can be purchased at many local shops or online.
