NWS Forecast Accuracy
NWS overpredicts by 96% at Mt. Hood Meadows
Our calibrated estimates are based on 2 verified storms. When NWS says 12 inches, reality is closer to 0 inches. Don't book flights based on NWS numbers alone.
Severe systematic overprediction suggests NWS may not account for orographic shadow, wind scour, or precipitation conversion losses at Mt. Hood Meadows. SNOTEL station 651:OR:SNTL location or measurement methodology may differ from NWS grid point. With only 2 storms, confidence in adjustment factors remains low; recommend analysis of 10+ additional events before operational deployment.
