Hood River Weather Forecast
Sunday’s starting out mostly cloudy, but there’s enough clear sky that temps were dropping fast between 4am and 6pm. We’ll probably see a low in the upper 20’s followed by a high in the upper 30’s. Mostly cloudy is the mantra for today. Models disagree on snow tonight: the GFS keeps us dry and the ECMWF has 1/2” to 2” snow. Light west wind early. Light east wind afternoon. No rainbows. Monday starts with Nothing and ends up clear. Temps will be in the mid 20’s early and mid 30’s later. East wind. Nor rainbows. Tuesday starts off with Nothing, turns snowy after 10am and eventually switches to rain (maybe not until early Wednesday) as the snow level rises to 500′ in the Gorge. Up to 4” of new snow. No rainbows.
