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!

It’s a bit on the gloomy side this morning, with the Nothing spreading its wings over the Gorge. If it makes you feel any better, there are high clouds above the nothing, so we wouldn’t see blue skies even without the Gorge’s weather bane. In the past, Jimmy at 3 Rivers has promised 2-4-1 steak day will start the first Wednesday after the first inversion, so it might be worth a call if you’ve been waiting for steak night.

Looking ahead to the weather this week, we’ll see west wind at 13-15 late this afternoon. Monday brings east wind at 17-20. Tuesday brings easterlies at 24-28. On Wednesday, the wind switches to west as a front crosses the Cascades, for 23-26 out east.

For you mountain bikers, Post is good, if a little bit greasy. Reports are that Surveyor’s, Knebal, and 8-mile are in great shape. There was a Post Work Party yesterday, Saturday, on Bad Motor Scooter (#158). It’s in pretty good shape right now, and I’d suggest you ride it.


Cheap Gear. Free Membership.

Coming up next weekend, it’s the Hood River Valley High School gear swap. Also next Saturday, there’s a fundraiser for the Post Canyon Trailbuilders’ Fund. $35 gets you all-day shuttles to the top along with a yummy lunch. More information on the Post Canyon Shuttle Day is here. Saturday the 29th is the 44 Road trail work day, aka “Jimmy T and Me Work Party” hosted by Ranger Jimmy T. and New York City Sub Shop. Sunday the 30th is Meadows pass photo day at the Hood River Inn.

Chance of snow below 8000’ this week: 10%. Chance of the mountain opening in the next two weeks: 0%.

Have an awesome day today!
