Mt. Hood Weather Forecast
Light freezing mist or drizzle Sunday morning switches back to snow late morning. Monday brings flurries. Tuesday might bring another round of variable precip, but that’ll be followed by more snow later in the week. Deets follow:Cloudy sky under an incoming relatively warm system slides over cold air in place Sunday morning. Temps with that warm system drop after mid-morning, at which point there should be a switch from freezing rain to snow. The snow level will be 4000′ in the morning, 3000′ in the afternoon, and 2500′ overnight. About 0.4” water equivalent (WE) is forecast during the day, for 0.1” ice and 2-3” of snow. Another 0.4” WE is forecast overnight, for 3-4” of snow. Wind will be SW 15-30 early, W 25 in the afternoon, and WNW 25-30 overnight.
Monday looks partly cloudy with flurries in the morning, sunshine in the afternoon, and increasing clouds after midnight. The snow level will be 2500′ early, 2000′ in the afternoon, and 2000′ overnight. About 0.1” WE falls during the day, for an inch of snow. No precip overnight. Wind: WNW 25-30 early, W 15 in the afternoon, and SW 15-30 overnight.
Tuesday sees a warm system arrive over colder air in place. This system has 850mb temps of about +1C, which sets us up for a shot at some freezing rain, drizzle, or just wet snow. The snow level will be 1500-2000′ early, 5000′ mid-morning, 3500′ in the afternoon, and 3000′ overnight. As of today, 0.8” WE is forecast for the daytime. Let’s call it 4-6” wet snow for now. Another 0.1” is forecast overnight. That’ll fall as an inch of snow. Wind: SW 15-20 early, WSW 35-55 mid-morning, W 40-50 in the afternoon, and W 30 overnight.
Models don’t agree on precip amounts Wednesday and Thursday, but as of now, it does appear we’ll see snow. Looking into the far future, we see a hint of Pineapple Express for Saturday. Not all models agree on this, so no promises of downpouring rain yet! We’ll just watch and see what develops.

Volunteers needed! Columbia Area Mountain Bike Advocate (CAMBA) is doing small projects at the Syncline this winter: treadwork and trail maintenance. Show that we care and want to protect it! Due to COVID restrictions, work party numbers are limited, so if you can help, contact Ann 509-637-3713. Hikers, runners, mountain bikers, and sightseers all welcome! Do be aware of the possibility of freeze-thaw (muddy) conditions, especially on trails that are not under a tree canopy. Do not ride if it was below freezing last night and is above freezing when you want to ride. The soil structure will be liquefied, and you will do permanent damage to trails. Consider riding gravel roads instead. .Sprinter Van of the Week!
