Random Morning Thoughts

I feel a nice bike ride coming on today. Not sure what kind, but a bike ride after a long weekend of work sounds great!

Mt. Hood Snow Forecast

The Mt. Hood snow is done for a while. The forecast now returns to its regularly scheduled boring-you-to-tears programming. Expect freezing rain and rain this morning with the freezing level around 3000′. Total precip will be .1-.2” water value. As the sky clears this afternoon, the freezing level will rise to 8000′ this afternoon/evening. Wind will be WNW 30ish pretty much all day.

Tomorrow brings clear sky. The free air freezing level (FAF) rises to 10,000′ by 4am, holding all day, with 5000′ temps in the upper 40’s early and low 50’s in the afternoon. Wind tomorrow will be W 20 early, rising to WNW 30 in the afternoon.

Wednesday looks clear and warm on Mt. Hood, with the FAF around 11,000′ and temps at 5000′ nearing 50 degrees. Wind will be W 20-30. Thursday looks even warmer, with the FAF at 12,000 and temps at 5000′ around 55 degrees.

There is no precip in the extended GFS run at this time.

Gorge Weather

It’s 49 degrees at my house this morning, and that’s a nice start to the day. The temp should hold right around there all day, with decreasing clouds this afternoon. The next couple of days bring us a temperature inversion, and with the ground so wet, we should see inversion clouds. However, the models seem to think we won’t. I dunno. I tend to err on the side of gloom, so I think it’ll be cloudy, with temps in the upper 30’s in the morning and mid-40’s in the afternoon with light wind both Tuesday and Wednesday. But I could be totally wrong, and that would be nice.

Gorge Wind Forecast

Hope y’all had fun on the river in the westerlies this weekend. It’s still blowing hard this morning, with .16/.12 to start the day. The wind will keep blowing for much of the day, driven by a building offshore high. Expect 28-32 east of Mosier this morning, fading a bit to 24-28 this afternoon, but possibly filling in near Hood River too.

Tuesday and Wednesday look light. East wind kicks in at Steven’s Locks and Rooster’s Rocks at 26-30 on Thursday.

Road and Mountain Biking

I am crossing my fingers that the wind is drying out Syncline as I write this. If not, well, the next couple of days will be nice for road riding, with temps in the 40’s and light wind.

Yeah, Seahawks. Wish I could have watched the game, but I was watching powder fall from the sky.

Mt. Hood Snow Forecast

I was totally right about last night’s Meadows After Dark being the best ever – I know, because I saw it on the Meadows website this morning. Oh. Wait. I wrote that. Easy to be right when you’re the judge, juror, and the accused party. =)

I’m really struggling with today’s forecast. It’s quite cold at the resorts this morning, in the mid-20’s, and the snow level is under 3000′, but temps are rising. A warm front is coming in today, and the models are suggesting the snow level will rise to 5500′ after 10am, rising to 8000′ after 7pm. Borderline for the day shift. And a very tough call with 1-1.5” of moisture in the system.

It’s going to rain at (newly-opened) HRM base. I think I can safely say that. And the snow falling from the sky is already getting heavier as the warm air moves over the top of us. Argh. I’m going with mixed rain and snow at 5000′ after noon. Or at best, wet snow. So, call it 3-4” of new at 5500′ and 5-9” at 6600′ through 7pm. Tonight: rain sprinkles, with .1-.2” WV. And wind: W 35 early, rising to WNW 50 at 10am, holding all day, and rising to WNW 60 overnight.

Forecasting is hard sometimes. Heart-wrenching.

Monday looks partly cloudy in the morning, becoming clear. The free air freezing level will be 8000′ for much of the day, with temps in the mid-30’s at 5000′. Wind will be WNW 50 early, becoming NW 55 around 10am and fading to NW 45 in the afternoon. Tuesday looks clear and warm with the FAF at 10,000′ and west wind at 20mph. At this point, it looks like the weather will stay dry through Friday.

Gorge Weather

The wet and windy weather continues in the Gorge today. Expect rain showers all morning, tapering off after 4pm. Temps will be in the mid-40’s this morning and upper 40’s in the afternoon with strong west wind. We’ll see moderate west wind tomorrow, fading in the afternoon, under partly cloudy sky. Tuesday’s models seem to think the air will be dry enough for clear sky, but I’d be really surprised if we don’t end up with an inversion cloud. At this point, it looks like temps will be in the upper 30’s early and the upper 40’s in the afternoon. The rest of the week, through Friday, looks dry.

Gorge Wind Forecast

Gradients are at .12/.12 this morning, enough for gusty 25-30 at various locations. As a warm front pushes in mid-morning, we’ll see the wind pick up to gusty 27-33 first near Hood River and then filling in out east. Monday starts with 23-26+, but fades as the day goes on, becoming light in the afternoon. Tuesday looks light. My… it’s been a very windy winter so far.

Road and Mountain Biking

Trainer time? Or repeats on State Road in Mosier? Or… Suggestions?
