Mt. Hood Weather Forecast
A partly cloudy Tuesday morning on Mt. Hood gives way to light snowfall during the day and heavy snow overnight. That’s followed by a few mostly cry days before a return to heavy snowfall for the weekend. The snow level will stay below 1500′ for this entire period, making for excellent powder and packed powder conditions.
Tuesday deets: partly cloudy sky above low clouds and fog morphs in to light snowfall midday. Heavy snowfall arrives after 4pm. The snow level will be 1000′ early, 2000′ in the afternoon, and 500′ overnight. About 0.2” water value (WV) falls before 4pm, for 2-3” of powder. Another 1.1” WV falls overnight, for 11-13” of powder. Wind will be a factor in upper elevation lift ops all day: NW 30 early, NW 25 midday, WNW 30-35 in the afternoon and evening.
Wednesday looks like an epic powder day. Partly cloudy to clear sky hangs around all day with deep clouds arriving overnight. The snow level will be 5000′ early, 1000′ in the afternoon, and 500′ overnight. A trace of snow will fall in the morning. Dry weather continues for the rest of the day and night. Wind will be WNW 35 early, NE 5 in the afternoon, and NE 20 overnight.
Easterly orographic clouds Thursday morning may bring a few flurries or fog, but the mountain will be clear by the afternoon. The snow level will be 0′ early, 500′ in the afternoon, and 0′ overnight. Just a trace of snow will fall, and just just in the morning. Wind: NE 20 early, NE 10 in the afternoon, and W 15 overnight.
Friday starts with high clouds and a colorful sunrise. Clouds build during the day, and moderate precip arrives overnight. This is a ways out to be precise in the forecast, but the latest model run suggest s8” of new Friday night with a snow level of 1500′. Models disagree on the exact details this weekend, but it does appear we’ll see additional high-quality snowfall.
