Mt. Hood Forecast
Several days of dry, sunny weather are in the forecast. They’ll be followed by another round of snow. For Sunday, expect early morning clouds to give way to sun soon after sunrise. The free air freezing level will be 2500′ early, 3000′ in the afternoon, and will fall to near 0′ overnight. No precip. Wind: SSW 10-20 early, S 10-20 from mid-morning on, and SSE 10 overnight.

Tuesday starts out sunny. High clouds arrive mid-afternoon and deepen overnight. The free air freezing level will be 5500′ early, 4000′ in the afternoon, and 1000′ overnight with a snow level of about 5500. Slopeside temps will be in the upper 20’s to low 30’s.

As of this morning, it appears we’ll see significant snow between Wednesday afternoon and Thursday afternoon. The details aren’t yet clear, but 1-2 feet seem possible. Happy shredding!
Note on wind speeds. Different wind directions are experienced in different ways on Mt. Hood. For example, west wind at 50mph will hit the slopes and exposed ridges at W 50. SW 50 may hit the ridges at SW 50, but will likely only be SW 20 below tree line. Hence the ranges for wind. Depends where you are on the mountain. Hopefully that helps clarify.

Cycling
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-three seven one three. 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.
