Mt. Hood Snow Forecast
Dry, relatively warm weather sticks around through Friday when models hint at a snowstorm, or at least a few inches of new. Between now and then: plenty of sunshine. Get some universal wax on your skis and come up for some turns or glides.
Tuesday brings intermittent high cloudiness and no precip. The free air freezing level (FAF) will be 5500′ all day, but downslope warming has temps in the mid 40’s at 5000′ prior to sunrise. Wind today will be NW or NNW 25-30 all day and will fade to N 10+ overnight.
Wednesday will be sunny as can be. The free air freezing level will rise from 5500′ in the morning to 9000′ in the afternoon. Temps rise to 40F or so. The wind will be N 10 all day long. Thursday starts out sunny and turns cloudy in the evening. The FAF will be 9000′ in the morning, 7000′ in the afternoon, and will fall to 4500′ ahead of the next system slated for Friday morning. No precip. Wind: N 5 in the morning, NW 20-30 in the afternoon, NW 30-40 in the evening, and W 40 after midnight.
Friday looks windy (W 40ish becoming NW 40ish) and snowy. Models don’t agree on how much snow will fall, but the W/NW wind will wring all possible moisture out of the system. Somewhere between 2-8” is forecast. Colder, snowy weather is forecast for the weekend. After that: even colder and dry and sunny to start next week. Have a lovely day today!

Cycling
Be thoughtful about your riding choices as we enter this dry period. If it was below freezing the night before your ride, don’t ride trails that are exposed to the open air. Those trails will have freeze-thaw conditions, and you’ll do major damage. Consider gravel riding! If you’re parking at Post Canyon, you will need a parking pass. Those can be purchased at many local shops or online.
