Mt. Hood Snow Forecast

Hello skiers and riders! We’re headed into a cooler, wetter stretch of weather. Snow will accumulate! It’s not going to be the driest snow, but it’ll be just right for freshening up the snow surface. Models have us picking up 1.75” to 2.0” water equivalent by Monday. Some of that will fall as rain at 5000′ Thursday, but we’ll see a quick switch to snow.

For Wednesday, expect high clouds in the morning and partly cloudy sky in the afternoon with clouds and a few snain showers overnight. The snow level will be 7000′ in the morning, 5000′ in the afternoon, and 6000′ overnight. Just a trace of precip, if any, will fall. Wind: NW 25-35 in the morning, W 15 in the afternoon, and WSW 15-25 overnight.

Thursday starts with snain at 5000′ and snow above 6000′ with rain below 4500′. Around noon, the snow level drops to 5000′, and it continues to fall overnight landing at 4000′. About 0.5” water equivalent (WE) is forecast during the day for 2-3” wet snow at 5000′. Overnight, 0.7” WE is forecast. Call that 4-5” dense snow. Wind: WSW 15-20 in the morning, SW 15-30 in the afternoon, and WSW 20-25 overnight.

Snow continues all day Friday with the snow level around 4000′. Overnight, it falls to 3000′ with just a few lingering flurries. Friday daytime brings about 0.5” WE for 4-5” average density snow. Overnight, 0.3” WE is forecast for 2-3” more. Wind: WSW 20-25 in the morning, W 30 in the afternoon, and WNW 15-20 overnight. High clouds are forecast Saturday with a little snow overnight. Sunday starts dry and turns snowy in the afternoon. Cool weather with intermittent light snow is forecast for much of next week. Enjoy the late spring freshies!

Gorge Wind Forecast

Hi friends! I woke up late this morning, and the wind beat me to the river. So did TJ – he’s already out there getting some dawn patrol! Today’s your best bet out of the next few – we’re moving into a very active weather pattern, and that will disrupt wind quality. That said, westerlies of some sort are on tap all the way through the weekend. Given the progressive/active weather, it’s likely the forecast will change from day to day.

For Wednesday, we start with pressures of 30.10/29.98/29.92 for gradients of 0.12 and 0.06. You’ll find 20-23 from Viento to Swell early this morning with 13-16 near Stevenson and also from Mosier to Arlington. As a front approaches midday, the wind will drop to 14-17 at Swell, hold at 20-23 from Stevenson to Viento (and Mosier), and rise to gusty 23-26 from Lyle to Rufus. Being frontally-driven, this wind will probably not be the “right” direction for the Maryhill stretch. But hey, the wind is always the right direction for a trip out east for Indian food at Amayah’s! Current: 190-193kcfs. River temp: 52.16F. High temp forecast: 65F with clearing sky in the afternoon.

Thursday will be rainy. West of Amayah’s (the location formerly known as Biggs), the wind will be 5-10mph or less. Between The Dalles and Rufus, or maybe Arlington, the wind will max out in the evening. You’ll find 13-16 them. High temp: 56F and rainy. Friday starts with W 7-10 all the way from Stevenson to Arlington. West of The Dalles, you’ll find showery weather. In the afternoon, the wind slowly builds to gusty 15-18 form Stevenson to Doug’s with gusty 24-27 from The Dalles to Arlington. High temp: 58F and mostly cloudy. Cool, unsettled, active weather continues this weekend. Without support from an offshore high, wind speeds will likely be limited to the low 20s out east and much less west of The Dalles. That’s subject to change, of course. This cool, unsettled pattern continues through the end of next week.

Cycling

Cows are out on Hospital Hill. NO DOGS. That means you, all of you, even your dog that’s [insert adjective]. No dogs. Do not risk access for everyone. No parking at the corral. Whoopdee flowers are in full bloom. Hospital Hill and Syncline have ticks, oaks, and flowers. Columbia Hills is full of flowers and open to your bike. HRATS have a fundraiser on 4/20. Raffle tickets are on sale now. Buy some and support your trails organization. Definitely got a Tack Alert going on out there right now – lots of good dirt. Some areas of Post are still muddy (shady, cool areas), so consider choosing a different spot to ride. You’ll have Post all summer long! Sisterwives and Kleeway in Post Canyon are currently closed for rebuilding. It’s trail-building season. Get on the HRATS mailing list if you’d like to help out. If you’re parking at Post Canyon, you will need a parking pass. Those can be purchased at many local shops or online.
