Mt. Hood Weather Forecast
Clear sky on Mt. Hood holds through Saturday, for the most part. Snow arrives midday Sunday, falls all night, continues through Monday midday, and then dry weather returns.For Thursday, you’ll find sun all day with a chance of some high clouds in the evening. The freezing level will be 0′ early and 6000′ in the afternoon. Wind: S to SW 10-15 all day. Friday also looks sunny. The free air freezing level will be 6000′ in the morning and 6500′ in the afternoon and evening. Wind: SW 15-20 all day turning to W 15 after midnight.
Saturday starts with high clouds as a cold front approaches. It’s possible a few flurries could fall during the day, but there’s very little moisture with this system. By the evening, the sky will be just partly cloudy. Saturday’s snow level: 6500′ early, 4500′ in the afternoon, and 2500′ overnight. Wind: W 15 early, W 5 in the afternoon, and NW 25-30 overnight.
Sunday’s the stormiest day of the next week, by far as an incoming system taps into a weak atmospheric river. The snow level will be 2500′ early, 4500-5000′ in the afternoon, and 3000′ after midnight. A trace of snow falls between 1pm and 4pm followed by 1.5” water value (WV) overnight. With temps rising to 0-2C for a period, this snow will be relatively dense. Let’s call it 9-12” of new by Sunday morning. Wind: NW 25-30 early, W 40 in the afternoon, and W 45 after midnight.
A few more inches of snow fall Monday morning before the switch turns off and leaves mostly cloudy sky in the afternoon. The snow level will be 3000′ early and 5000′ in the afternoon. Wind: W 45 in the morning fading to NW 25 in the afternoon. While there’s more uncertainty in the models after Monday, it does appear we’re in for another stretch of dry weather. Enjoy it all!
