Mt. Hood Weather Forecast
There continues to be little to talk about in the Mt. Hood forecast, at least for the next week or so. On Sunday, the snow level hovers around 12,000′, and some drizzle moves in. Rain continues on the mountain on Monday as the snow level starts at 12,000′ and drops to 6000′.A low moves inland on Tuesday morning. The snow level will initially be 5500′, but will drop to 4000′ at the tail end of this system. Orographic (wind & terrain) effects will help a bit; the wind will initially be WSW 50 and will turn to NW 30 as the system passes. This should result in 2-4” of new snow at 5000′. that said, models do disagree a bit, so we could see as little as 1-2” of new.
Unfortunately, the rest of the week looks warm and dry. 5000′ temps will be, for the most part, above freezing, and the sun will be shining upon the snow. Looking into the extended, models disagree about precipitation for next weekend. Long story short – no definite timeline for any of the ski resorts to have enough snow to get you on the slopes.
Gorge Wind Forecast
Sunday’s wind starts light and variable. As a weak weather system moves in this afternoon, the wind picks up to gusty 12-15 from Stevenson to Mosier with gusty 19-23 east of there, all the way to Arlington. River flow is 125kcfs and temp is 51 degrees. Monday starts calm. Easterlies bump up to 10-15 for a couple hours midday and then fade. After sunset, the wind turns westerlies.Tuesday holds more promise: a low moves inland early in the morning and strong high pressure builds offshore. Westerlies start at gusty 16-19 in the west and gusty 23-26 in the east. You’ll want to get east of the low clouds for the best results on Tuesday. That means you’re headed at least to Mosier. Somewhere between there and Arlington you’ll find gusty 25-28. Get it earlier rather than later, as building high pressure will knock down the wind speed. Easterlies return at 30-35 or so on Wednesday.
