Mt. Hood Snow Forecast – 5000′

Good morning,

So much for spring. It’s summer now. I saw a 68 degree reading yesterday in Hood River, and today and tomorrow will be warmer. Gardeners are absolutely freaking out (I’m freaking out because they’re selling the land where I garden, and my heart is broken) with this beautiful weather. So are the SUPers. And the kayakers. Heck, who isn’t freaking out because it’s warm and sunny?

In the Gorge today, we’ll start off with mid-40’s and brush 70 this afternoon. Wind will be light this morning, picking up to E 23-26 at Stevenson and Rooster and E 5-8 everywhere else. Tomorrow looks like a repeat: Low in the upper 40’s, high near 70, and east wind at 21-24, fading throughout the day. Monday starts with temps in the upper 40’s, rising to the upper 60’s, with west wind at 21-24.

Mt. Hood is also going to be summery for the next several days. The free air freezing level (FAF) will be 10,000′ this morning, rising to 12,000′ this afternoon, with light SW wind. There’s a slight chance of thunder and lightning this afternoon, which also means there’s a chance it’ll go from clear and sunny this morning to cloudy this afternoon.

Tomorrow looks clear and sunny with the FAF at 12,000′ all day and light and variable wind. Monday looks like a repeat of Sunday. So does Tuesday. Next change in the weather is late Wednesday/early Thursday, when strong SW flow sends a bunch of moisture into the PNW with the freezing level around 6000-7000′.

Have a great day today. Enjoy the warm and sunny weather, and keep your eyes open for morels! Oh, and don’t forget to remove your studded tires. They need to be of by the end of the day tomorrow.

Have an awesome day today!

Good morning,

Well, sometimes you just have to take a day off. Especially when the weather turns warm and the birds are singing and the garden is calling. Oh, and the weather is unchanging… that’s a great time to take a day off if you’re a weather forecaster!

We’ll see a couple of changes in the weather over the next couple of days. The sky will clear, and the mercury will climb. That will make for nice spring skiing on the mountain and just plain nice weather in the valleys, with temps approaching 70 degrees. Hooray!

In Gorge weather, we’ll see partly cloudy sky today, becoming clear in the afternoon. Temps will be in the upper 40’s early and mid 60’s this afternoon with light wind. Tomorrow looks sunny, with temps in the mid-40’s early and upper 60’s in the afternoon. Wind will be east 25-29 at Stevenson and Rooster and E 5-8 in the afternoon elsewhere. Sunday looks sunny with temps near 50 in the morning and in the upper 60’s in the afternoon with light east wind. If you don’t have a road bike, now would be a great time to get one!

Up on Mt. Hood, it’s going to be a spring slushfest this weekend. Today starts off cloudy with a few sprinkles possible (there were some rain showers overnight). The snow level will be 5500′ early, rising to 6000′ in the afternoon as the sky clears. Wind will be light, out of the SW.

Saturday sees clear sky over Mt. Hood. The freezing level will jump to 10,000′ in the morning and 12,000′ in the afternoon. Wind will be light and variable. Sunday looks very similar to Saturday, with light and variable wind becoming E at 5-15 by midday. Monday looks clear, with the freezing level at 8000′ and light and variable wind.

As for events, there’s not much on the calendar this weekend, unless I missed stuff, in which case you guys should send me a note telling me what’s going on! Have a great weekend, and enjoy the warm and sunny weather!

Have an awesome day today!
