Mt. Hood Snow Forecast
It seems to be raining-not-snowing again on Mt. Hood this morning, but it’s still early November, so that’s okay. Expect a cloudy, drizzly, sprinkly day today followed by a wet night. The snow level will fluctuate between 7000′ and 10,000′ today, ending the night at the lower end of that range. We’ll see trace amounts of rain during the day today with heavier rain, an inch or so, between 7pm today and 4am Monday. Wind today will be SW20-30, rising to WSW 40 after midnight.

Mt. Hood Snow Forecast, finished
Tuesday starts off clear and then turns… SNOWY! The snow level will be 7000′ in the morning and 3000′ or so in the evening. We’ll see snow start up between 1pm and 4pm, continuing through Wednesday morning. In that period, we’ll see .4-.5” water value, for 4-6” of snow at 5000′. This, of course will result in a barrage of photos from all the local ski areas, including Skibowl, which should see snow at their base. Wind on Tuesday will be WSW 50 early, SW 20 in the afternoon, and W 20-25 after 7pm.
Wednesday brings snow flurries with the snow level down around 2500′. At best, we’ll see a couple of inches. We’ll see another 2-4” on Thursday. The next big system is forecast for Saturday morning. Unfortunately, this one looks very warm and moderately wet. In other words, rain-not-snow.

Winter Companion Rescue Series is targeted to those who travel in avalanche terrain. These sports take us far from help and into terrain that is high reward and high risk. You will learn basic use of your beacon, probe, and shovel. The rescue portion will follow American Avalanche Association guidelines for companion rescue. When an avalanche buries your backcountry partner, acting fast and knowing what to do will save a life. You will be taught American Heart First Aid and CPR/AED skills for remote wilderness settings.

Random Morning Thoughts
I’m running short on time this morning, so I’ll just tell you to have an awesome day and leave it at that. You’re awesome. Have an awesome day.
Disclaimer required by my grad school program: I am not your therapist (but I could be 51 graduate school credits from now). I am your weather forecaster. Take everything I say with a grain of salt, and consult with your actual therapist about your mental health issues. One other thing: I plan to keep doing this forecast indefinitely, even when I am a therapist.
Gorge Weather Forecast
It’s cloudy this morning, and nothing will change about that all day. If we’re lucky, we’ll see enough sunbreaks to see a rainbow, but I wouldn’t bet on it. Expect sprinkles and occasional drizzle all day, followed by rain after 9pm. Temps will be in the mid 40’s early and the upper 50’s this afternoon. Light easterlies. 5% chance of rainbows. Monday looks very rainy through midday followed by still-rainy-but-not-that-rainy through Tuesday. Temps will be in the upper 40’s early and the mid 50’s in the afternoon. Light westerlies. 99% chance of rainbows. Tuesday looks showery. Temps will be in the mid 40’s early and the mid 50’s in the afternoon. Moderate west wind. 99.99999% chance of rainbows. Models are still hinting at arctic air trying to sneak in from the east in the latter half of next week. They don’t predict it will make it to us, but it’s worth watching, just in case.
