Mt. Hood Weather Forecast
Warm weather continues for the mountain on Tuesday. Add a bit of rain to the mix Tuesday night. Mostly dry weather sticks around through Thursday afternoon. After that: it’s looking like a wild weekend on the mountain with a shot at significant snow followed by significant rain. Detail aren’t yet clear, but we’re keeping a close eye on it!For Tuesday, you’ll have a clear and sunny and warm day on the mountain followed by a bit of rain overnight. The snow level will be 13,000′ during the day, 11,000′ in the afternoon, 8000′ in the evening, and 4500′ after midnight. A few sprinkles could fall on the lowest slopes this afternoon. The bulk of the precip arrives around 11pm, for 0.3” rain on the slopes. That will probably end with a few scattered flurries after midnight. Wind: SW 20-40 in the morning, SW 10-30 in the afternoon, SW 20-35 in the evening, and NW 30-35 after midnight.
Wednesday starts with flurries and ends clear. Just a trace of snow will fall. The snow level will be 4500′ early, 2000′ in the afternoon, and 500-1000′ after midnight. Wind: NW 30-35 in the morning, NNW 20-25 in the afternoon, and SE 5 after midnight.
Thursday will be clear and sunny during the day. Snow moves in a few hours after sunset. The snow level will be 1000′-1500′ or so. About 0.2” water equivalent (WE) overnight gives us 2-3” of powder. Wind: SE 5 early, SW 5-10 in the afternoon, NW 20-30 in the evening, and W 25 after midnight.
Friday daytime looks dry, but the night sure doesn’t! Models vary on precip amounts, but it’s looking like a significant snowstorm will arrive on Friday evening. Snow will start out light and fluffy and get increasingly dense as temps rise with this system. Warm upper air slowly erodes east side cold air. Sometime Saturday, the precip will likely switch to freezing rain and then rain. But again, details aren’t yet clear. In general, we’re looking at much more active weather than we’ve seen the last week or two.

Do be aware of the possibility of freeze-thaw (muddy) conditions during the winter, especially on trails that are not under a tree canopy. Do not ride if it was below freezing last night and is above freezing when you want to ride. The soil structure will be liquefied, and you will do permanent damage to trails. Consider riding gravel roads instead. GP will be closed through December for upgrades. Contact HRATS if you’d like to help.Sprinter Van of the Week!
