Mt. Hood Weather Forecast
Cool weather systems swing through Wednesday and Thursday and Sunday for additional snow accumulation. As of this morning , Friday and Saturday look dry. The long range forecast suggests a more active weather pattern – as if this one isn’t active enough – starting Monday. However, there’s a wide ensemble spread of outcomes, some of which include quite a bit of both rain and snow for Mt. Hood.Let’s start with what we know – Wednesday’s weather. The snow level starts at 5000′, falls to 4000′ in the afternoon, and drops to 2000′ overnight. About 0.6” water value (WV) falls during the day, for 3-5” of dense base-building snow, aka Cascade Concrete. Another 0.5” WV arrives overnight. That falls as 4-5” of standard-issue Cascade snow. Wind today will be SW 20-25 g 40 all day and W 30 overnight.
Thursday starts partly cloudy with sunshine up high. Snow moves in during the day and sticks around all night. The snow level will be 2000′ to 2500′. About 0.3” WV falls during the day, for 3-4” of dry snow. Another 0.3” falls overnight, for 3-4” more. Wind will be W 30 in the morning, SW 10-15 g 25 in the afternoon, and W 20 after midnight.
Friday may start with a few flurries and scattered clouds, but it’ll turn sunny. The freezing level will be 2000′ to 2500′ early, 3000′ in the afternoon, and 3500′ overnight. No accumulation. Wind: W 20 in the morning, W 10 in the afternoon, and W 5 overnight. Saturday looks sunny with the freezing level at 3500′ early, 5000′ in the afternoon, and 4500′ overnight. Light snowfall is in the forecast for sunday with just an inch or so of new. After that, models are hinting at alternating periods of heavy snow and rain, but that’s definitely not certain yet.
