If you liked riding your bike, keep at it, because this week and next are the annual Eco-challenge. You can take on…

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!

Somehow I missed that yesterday was national bike to school and bike to work day, so congratulations to everyone out there who took part in that event. If you liked riding your bike, keep at it, because this week and next are the annual Eco-challenge. You can take on any sort of earth-friendly mission for these two weeks. Check out ecochallenge.org for more information, and join team Hood River while you’re there.

In wind news, there’s high pressure building off the coast today, and that’s going to make the west wind blow. We’ll see a quick build to 25-28 from Mosier (or maybe Rowena) east to Arlington today, with the strongest, steadiest wind from Rowena to Rufus. I can’t guarantee the direction will be good on the Maryhill stretch of the river, but I think it’s a pretty good bet.


The Clymb: free membership.
Access to super cheap gear including Trew, Zeal, Sierra Designs, and many more.

Tomorrow starts off windy too, with 23-26 in the morning from Hood River eastward. Or maybe from the cloud line eastward. =) As a system nears the coast in the afternoon, the wind will back off to the 17-20 range, with the strongest wind in the afternoon at Stevenson and Arlington.

Saturday looks like a pretty nice day, with partly sunny skies and light wind, and then on Sunday, we’ll see a return to rainy weather.

Coming up on Friday, it’s First Friday in Hood River, and also on Friday, if you want something more energetic, it’s touch rugby, free for everyone, no experience required, at 6pm at the Hood River Marina.

For you dirt bikers and quad riders, the regulated use closure on Hood River County lands has been lifted. That means that you and your offroad vehicle are welcome back on all trails in the county.

Have an awesome day today!
