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!

Good morning!

It’s a little bit grey out there this morning, but things are about to get white. If you’re looking out the window, you’re looking at the leading edge of a strong, cold system that contains 2-3” of rain potential for the Cascades.

Yesterday it looked like the storm would start as rain, but given that it’s 30 degrees at the base of Meadows right now, and this storm will cause the temperature to fall significantly, we’re going to see quite a bit of snow on the slopes. 18” of new by tomorrow morning seems reasonable. That will be followed by another 7-10” tomorrow, 4-5” on Friday, and a few more inches over the weekend.

If you aren’t ready for ski season, I suggest you get ready.

Speaking of snow, there’s a very good chance we’ll see some snow in the Gorge on Friday. On Saturday, offshore flow begins, and if there’s still moisture in the air, we’re definitely going to see some snow in the Gorge.

If you’re looking for wind, you’re not going to see much over the next few days. If you’re looking for water in the rivers, you’re going to see plenty. The White Salmon is at 2.5ft, and the Hood is at 4.6 feet. We should see both rivers come up tomorrow after all this rain.

In other news, the Fashion Show is this Friday, so if you haven’t purchased your ticket, you should do so now. Head downtown and pick up your tickets at 2nd Wind or many or the other stores.

Have an awesome day today!
