Mt. Hood Weather Forecast
Last night’s weather didn’t pan out as expected; sadly, the mountain received just a trace to an inch of new snow overnight. With the snowpack saturated and temps set to drop today, that’s going to set us up for a solid-frozen snowpack. Fortunately, there’s snow headed this way for Sunday night. After that, we’re probably looking at a few dry, cold days that will hold the snowpack in a static state.For Sunday, expect a cloudy day with intermittent snowfall. A compact little low moves in from the central coast to eastern Washington overnight, bringing a steadier round of snowfall. The snow level this morning will be 5000′, dropping to 2500′ in the afternoon and 1500′ overnight. About 0.1” water value (WV) falls during the day, for an inch of snow. Another 0.4-0.7” arrives overnight, for 4-7” of new that finishes up by daybreak. Wind will be SW 15 early, SW 20 later, and W 35 after midnight.
Monday starts with varying levels of clouds and ends up cloudy down low with clear sky above 6500′ or so. The snow level will be 1500′ during the day and 500′ overnight. Just a trace of snow falls curing the day. Wind will be W 35 early, W 10 in the afternoon, and SSW 5-10 overnight.
Tuesday looks cloudy down low with clear sky above 5000′. The free air freezing level will be 500-1000′ during the day and 0-500′ overnight. Models disagree on precipitation. Daytime should be dry. There’s a chance of up to an inch of snow overnight. Wind will be SSW 10 early, SW 5 in the afternoon, and W 5 after midnight. As of right now, the next weather system looks to arrive early in the morning on Friday. That one is forecast to come out of the NW, a good direction for snow on Mt. Hood.

Stevenson to the Dalles will have 12-15, and areas east of there will have gusty 24-28. The wind holds through late morning and then fades as the next weather system approaches.

All the rain over the last day has put all the trails in “too muddy to ride” zone. Please, please don’t, or you’ll do permanent damage. Especially vulnerable are those trails that were frozen when the rain arrived; the soil structure is all blown apart, and the tread will be fragile. If you ride it, you will gouge deep ruts that may never recover. Lots of other fun things to do today!Upcoming Events
The Hood River Zen Meditation group meets from 3-5 tonight at the Hood River Foundation for Vibrant Living. There’s indoor Ultimate at Hood River Middles School gym tonight from 5-7 ($5). The Society Hotel in Bingen has a Hanukkah party tonight starting at 4:30.
