Mt. Hood Weather Forecast
It’s another sunny and cold morning on Mt. Hood, and it’ll stay that way today before a pattern change kicks in on Friday. That pattern change will bring fresh powder, real powder, to the mountain. Sadly, forecasts have backed off on the amounts, but it’ll still be enough for good times!
For Thursday, it’ll be sunny and cold and dry on Mt. Hood. The free air freezing level will be at the surface. Temps will be in the low double digits early and in the low 20’s this afternoon. Light and variable wind.
Friday starts off with high clouds. A few scattered flurries may fall in the day. Heavier snow arrives in the evening. The snow level will be at the surface near Mt. Hood with mountain temps in the low 20’s. Models disagree on how much snow will fall overnight, predicting 0.2” to 0.7” water value (WV). Call it 3-9” of champagne powder, and vote for the NAM forecast. Fluffy, dry blower powder. Wind Friday will be W 10 early, WSW 20 in the afternoon, and SW 20 after midnight.
Light snowfall continues Saturday morning before the sun breaks out in the afternoon. A few scattered flurries may fall overnight. The snow level will be at the surface with mountain temps in the low 20’s early and single digits to teens in the afternoon and overnight. Wind will be SW 20 early, SSW 15 in the afternoon, and light and variable overnight.
Sunday brings clouds with scattered snow flurries. The snow level will be at the surface. Mountain temps will be in the single digits as the coldest air of the season settles over us. Up to 0.2” WV falls during the day, for 1-3” (probably the low end) of light, fluffy powder. Wind will be light and variable early, WNW 10 in the afternoon, and NNW 35-40 overnight. That direction of wind should result in heavy orographic snowfall Sunday night into Monday, but we’ll have to wait and see how the model details pan out.
For Thursday, we’ll have easterlies: 35-40 this morning near Rooster Rock with 20-25 near Stevenson and Viento. The wind will bump up about 5mph midday and end up at 30-35 at both Rooster and Stevenson this afternoon. Friday starts with 20-25 near Rooster and 15-20 near Stevenson. The wind ends up light easterly and builds overnight. By Saturday morning, we’ll have easterlies at 35-40 at Rooster and Stevenson. The wind will spread into the metro area midday with 30-35 out of the east and blizzard conditions through the Gorge.
