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!

We’re into the last week of the forecast for this year, and just in time, it’s starting to snow in the mountains. The snow level today is about 8000’. Tomorrow it’s going to drop to 7000’, on Tuesday it drops to 6000’, and then on Wednesday, the snow level drops as low as 5000’, meaning it’s going to snow at least a bit at all our ski areas this week.

If you’re still thinking of windsurfing and kiting, there’s not much going on for wind until the end of the week. Today and tomorrow there are low pressure systems off the coast, and that will keep the wind light through the Gorge. As a system pushes through Tuesday afternoon, we’ll see a late bump into the 17-20 range. The best chance for strong wind is on Thursday, as high pressure builds off the coast in a last gasp of summer classic Gorge setup.

If you have indoor plans today, change them, because today looks like the nicest weather for the next five days. I know there are a bunch of locals headed to St. Helens to ride Plains of Abraham today. And if you want to stick around here, the shuttle companies will drive you way up Post Canyon so you don’t have to break a sweat pedaling up.

Speaking of shuttling, don’t forget that Columbia Area Transit will drive you to Binns Hill staging area for just two bucks on weekdays, but make sure you reserve a day in advance.

Have an awesome day today!
