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. Your financial support ensures these essential forecasts remain accessible to all, free of charge.

So please take a moment to click one of the buttons below. Donate $19.99 or more (how much does this forecast enhance your life?) and get the email in your inbox. Or just contribute enough for a cup or pound of coffee. I need coffee! Every contribution, no matter the amount, makes a difference. Help me keep this labor of love alive, so we can all commute safely, play in the river, and shred Mt. Hood with the best weather forecasts possible. Thank you!

First, let me start by saying that the mountain biking on slickrock is super fun, and if you bike and haven’t been to Utah, you should make a trip.

Second, you might have noticed that it’s definitely fall now. Don’t worry. The sun isn’t totally gone.

In rain news, today should be relatively dry, but we’ll get a downpour tonight, with .2-.5” of rain by Monday morning. We’ll have clouds and light showers during the day Monday, but by 5pm, the rain will return, with up to 1” overnight into Tuesday. Showers taper off after 11am Tuesday.


We’ll have some more dry days, particularly Tuesday afternoon through Friday morning, which should make for three epic days of mountain biking next week. The big question is when Hospital, Nestor and Whoopdee will reopen (and when county lands will reopen to dirt biking), but I’m betting it will be soon. Stay tuned for updates, and check the HRATS Facebook page for the information first.

In wind news, we’ve mostly left the “classic gorge setup” season, but we’ll still see post-frontal and post-upper-low wind in the Gorge. Generally light west flow continues through Monday. Then the upper low exits east and high pressure builds over the Pacific, giving us west wind at 24-27… not sure where… but probably east of Hood River.

High pressure builds over the region Wednesday, for light west wind that fades quickly, and by Thursday, we should be back to east wind.

In events, next Saturday brings two work parties: One with Ranger Jimmy T up in the Knebal Springs area. The other work party is a beach cleanup at Doug’s. For more information on the first, contact Dirty Fingers. For more information on the second, CGWA.

Have an awesome day today!
