Good morning! There’s not much going on in the weather world this morning, as we’re between systems. That’s not going to last long, as another strong system hits the coast this afternoon. It’s speed sailing delight this week, with strong southerlies at the coast both today and tomorrow. It’s also happy days for Seattle windsurfers…
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.

Or just contribute enough for a cup or pound of coffee. I need coffee! Every contribution, no matter the amount, makes a difference.

It’s speed sailing delight this week, with strong southerlies at the coast both today and tomorrow. It’s also happy days for Seattle windsurfers and kiters, who get two big southerly days in a row.
As for you skiers and riders and freeheelers, today’s probably the day to get on the hill. Snow levels climb to 5500 feet tomorrow, boding poorly for a good day on the slopes. If you must go tomorrow or Friday, make it tomorrow, as the winds looks nuclear force on Friday in the Cascades.
Snow levels return to sub-pass levels Friday afternoon, setting up a potentially very good weekend on the slopes.
