Mt. Hood Snow Forecast
After a rather dry couple of weeks, we’re headed right back into a period of significant snowfall starting Wednesday. Gotta like that! A lot of this will probably be in the form of Cascade Concrete, but that’s fine. We like building the snowpack any way we can.
But first, we’ll have a mostly clear Monday night and a clear and sunny and dry Tuesday. The free air freezing level will be 2000′ Tuesday morning, 4000′ in the afternoon, and 0-2000′ overnight. Wind: E 10 in the morning, SE 10 in the afternoon, light/variable in the evening, and SW 10 overnight.
Wednesday starts clear, quickly clouds up (watch for a spectacular sunrise), and adds snow by mid-morning. The effective snow level (based on 850mb temps – it will likely be snowing down to 84 in the Gorge) will be 2500-3000′ in the morning, 2000′ in the afternoon, and 4000-4500′ overnight. Before I jump into snow amounts, it’s worth mentioning that there’s still a lot of range in precip amounts in the models. Okay. So, for now, call it 0.3” water equivalent (WE) during the day for 3-4” of relatively dry snow. Overnight, another 0.6” WE arrives. Temps will be warming, so call that 4-6” increasingly dense snow. Wind will be SW 5-10 in the morning, SW 15-25 in the afternoon, and SW 25-40 overnight.
Models keep the snow coming on Thursday with the snow level around 4500-5000′. About 0.6” WE is forecast during the day and 0.6” WE overnight. That said, once again there’s a lot of range in the models. Also, there’s a good chance we’ll see a switch to mixed precip and/or freezing rain. That’s still a long ways out, and things could change. Either way, the mountain will get refreshed. Enjoy!

Gorge Wind Forecast
Hi friends! Easterlies are forecast for the next few days, but guess what we’ll also have? Snow or, in the case of Cascade Locks, very cold rain (probably). Or maybe wet snow. Lots of it. For Tuesday, we’ll just have the easterlies. Stevenson starts at 20-25 and drops to 15-20 late morning. Iwash (Rooster) starts at 15 and drops to 10. River flow Tuesday was 86-123kcfs, river temp is 40.28F, and high temp forecast is 49F. Wednesday starts with E 25-30 at Stevenson and 20-25 at Iwash. Both rise to 30-35 in the afternoon. Precip starts up mid-morning. That’ll probably be snow in Hood River and snain in Stevenson, but it might be snow there too. High temp: mid 30’s. Easterlies and snow continue on Thursday. Stevenson starts at 25-30 and Iwash starts at 40-45. They both drop to 20-25 in the afternoon. As of this morning, stronger easterlies, 40-50 at Iwash, are forecast for Friday.

Ride gravel. Ride your trainer. Build trails. There are trail builders seeking extra hands on seven additional miles of trail on Whoopdee. Contact HRATS for more information. If you’re parking at Post Canyon, you will need a parking pass. Those can be purchased at many local shops or online.
