10/14 forecast

Good morning! In case you hadn’t noticed, it’s raining. No, seriously. It’s wet out there. And this morning, it’s actually rain, not snow. (I’m hoping it will snow again) I’m starting to think Mother Nature has something against me. I say it’s too warm to snow (it was 41 yesterday morning), and it snows. I…

Meet your forecaster: Temira

For almost 30 years, Temira (they/them) has been making the most of the Gorge: riding river swell, shredding powder, and cycling all the gravel and pavement and trails. This is Temira’s playground, their gym… their life’s work.

This passion led Temira to take a vow: In 2006, Temira decided to provide the most accurate, hyper-local weather forecasts possible. Today, Temira’s forecasts have become an essential resource for thousands of skiers, snowboarders, wind sports enthusiasts and Gorge commuters. With Temira’s guidance, you can plan ahead, time your sessions perfectly, and just plain have more fun! But the story doesn’t end there.

There’s “Temira’s Awesome Travel Advisory Service” and “Valuable Advice for Gardeners Inhabiting Neighboring Areas” – the Gorge’s premier microclimate forecast and gardening information. When winter storms, extreme heat, hail, or avalanches on SR-14 and I-84 threaten, TATAS keeps everyone and their tomatoes and giant pumpkins and cash crops safe.

Temira’s relentless efforts keep the forecasts flowing. But it ain’t easy: each forecast takes a couple of hours. That’s where you come in. By contributing, you’re not just supporting Temira’s passion project – you’re investing in the safety and well-being of the entire Gorge community.

Good morning!

In case you hadn’t noticed, it’s raining. No, seriously. It’s wet out there. And this morning, it’s actually rain, not snow. (I’m hoping it will snow again)

I’m starting to think Mother Nature has something against me. I say it’s too warm to snow (it was 41 yesterday morning), and it snows. I say it’s going to be windy, and it’s not. All this denial makes me want to…

eat apple pie for breakfast! Yummy! Speaking of pie, swing by the senior center today and tomorrow to help us make pie for (super rainy) Harvest Fest.

Oh, I’m sorry. were you looking for a forecast? Your best chance for wind in the next few days is at the coast, where massive southerlies will let you set some speedsailing records today, tomorrow and Friday. For Gorge winds, watch the (rainy and cold) desert late today for 18-22 this afternoon. Honestly, I wouldn’t bother going out there unless you are really desperate.

If you’re a mountain biker, dress warmly and prepare for lots of mud. And let me know what you rode and how muddy it is.

Coming up this weekend is Harvest Fest and the Providence Harvest Dash, a costumed run/walk race, where you can practice your Halloween antics while jogging.

Have a great day today!
