Mt. Hood Snow Forecast – 5000′

Good morning,

You know how I feel about boring weather, right? Boring weather makes for uninteresting forecasting. The most exciting thing I can say today is that I’m quite pleased about the morels I found in my yard a few days back. It seems so early, but they’re here. It must be spring – my belly tells me so! Also, it’s about to be relatively warm and partly sunny for the next week, so if you’ve had enough of winter – as weak as it’s been this year – relief is here.

In Gorge weather, we’ll have temps in the low 30’s this morning and low 50’s this afternoon under partly cloudy sky with east wind rising to 26-30 this afternoon. Tuesday looks partly to mostly clear, becoming cloudier in the afternoon, with temps in the low 40’s early and low 50’s in the afternoon. Wind will be light. Wednesday looks partly cloudy with a chance of sprinkles late. Temps will be in the mid 40’s early and the upper 50’s to low 60’s in the afternoon with light wind. Thursday looks like a repeat of Wednesday.

The Mt. Hood forecast is less interesting than the valley forecast. We’re under a split flow regime, which is sending the precipitation anywhere but here. Today will be partly cloudy on Mt. Hood, becoming cloudier as the day goes on, with a few flurries possible but unlikely. The snow level will rise to 5000′ by mid-morning with light and variable wind.

Tuesday will be partly to mostly cloudy with the snow level at 5000′ early and 4000′ in the afternoon. Some flurries may fall overnight, for less than 1” of new. Wind will be light and variable, becoming E at 10mph.

Wednesday sees the snow level at 4000′ early, rising to 5500′ in the afternoon. Flurries start in the evening, for .1-.3” water value (WV) for an inch or two of new, or maybe a mix of rain and snow. Wind will be S 10, becoming SW 15 in the evening.

Thursday looks partly cloudy with the freezing level at 5500′ early and 6500′ in the afternoon with SW wind at 15mph.

See. Boring!

Have an awesome day today!

3/24 Mt. Hood forecast, Gorge forecast, and that’s about it. Spring is here.

Good morning,

Judging by the long-term forecast, it’s definitely spring. And I don’t mean spring like we’ve had the last few years, with sub-normal temps, above-normal precipitation, and massive powder storms. I mean spring like the April lamb: mild temps, minimal precipitation, and periods of sunshine.

Gorge weather today starts with frost, but temps will climb near 50 this afternoon under partly cloudy sky. Wind will be E 25-29 at Stevenson and Rooster today, with 0-10 in the central Gorge. Tomorrow looks partly cloudy. Temps will be in the low 40’s early and the low to mid-fifties in the afternoon with east wind at 28-32. Tuesday looks partly cloudy with temps in the low 40’s early and near 60 in the afternoon with light wind.

On Mt. Hood, we’ll see partly cloudy sky today. The free air freezing level (FAF) will be 500′ early, rising to 2500’+ in the afternoon. Wind will be light and variable. No precip.

Tomorrow looks partly cloudy. The FAF will be 5000′ early and 6000′ in the afternoon with SW wind at 10-20 all day.

Tuesday looks partly cloudy with the FAF at 5500′ and light and variable wind. There’s a chance of a few snow flurries Tuesday night into Wednesday.

Wednesday starts partly cloudy, with the FAF at 5000′, rising to 5500′ in the afternoon. We’ll see some form of precip in the afternoon … too early to say if it’ll be rain or snow, but it doesn’t look like a significant amount, at least not from this long view.

Have an awesome day today!
