Mt. Hood Weather Forecast
The longer-range forecast is finally starting to carry a hint of snow, but the next few days don’t. For Tuesday, the snow level will start at about 5000′, falling to 3500′ this afternoon. If the band of heaviest precip lands in just the right spot, 2-4” of new will accumulate at 5000′. More likely: 1-2”. Wind will be W 35 early and NE 15 in the afternoon.Wednesday looks clear and dry. The free air freezing level starts at 2500′ and rises to 10,000′ in the afternoon. Wind will be NE 25 early and ENE 35 later. Thursday also looks clear as an inversion builds in. The free air freezing level will be 10,000′ all day with the inversion at 4000′ or so. Wind will be E 25 in the morning and SE 10 in the afternoon.
The extended forecast, generally not very accurate or precise, does contain a pattern change of sorts. It appears the mountain will receive a couple inches of snow on Sunday and 4-6” on Monday.

About a quarter inch of rain fell in Hood River last night. That’ll put Post Canyon in the “too wet to ride” category. Hospital Hill is a maybe. Your best bet for Tuesday is Syncline, but it will be windy there. Other options: anything up high – it’s all still snow-free. Get it now, because upper-elevation snow starting Sunday will put an end to those trails, probably for the season.Upcoming Events
It’s Tuesday: at 6am on Tuesday’s, you can do the Kaino’s coffee run in The Dalles for a free cup of coffee, or you can do Zen meditation at Trinity Natural Medicine in Hood River. At 5:15 tonight, there’s a silent hour of meditation at Yoga Samadhi, and there’s guided meditation at 6:30.
