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.

Good morning!

Yesterday was yucky on Mt. Hood. Today is a bit better, with the bulk of the moisture staying north and west of the ski slopes. Weather models show the front pushing across Mt. Hood between 7 and 10am. If that happens, we’ll see .5-.75” of rain. If it keeps moving on its current track, we’ll be spared that indignity. The snow level today will be around 6000’ early, falling to 4500’ by 10am and 2500’ by 4pm. With continued model disagreement, I can only guess that we’ll see 3-4” of snow by Thanksgiving morning. Winds today will be dropping to SW 20-30 by 10am, and then switching to NW 20-25 by 4pm.

We should be dry, with cloudy skies for Thanksgiving morning. The freezing level will be around 1000’ early, rising to 2500’ by 10pm. Winds will be SW 10-15 early, slowly increasing to SW 35-40 by 4pm and going to W 40-50 overnight. Snow will start around 1pm, continuing overnight for approximately .9” WV for 10-12” of new by Friday, 4am.

Friday morning should be mostly dry, with possible light flurries early, becoming partly cloudy. Winds will be WNW 30-40 (not so great) at 4am, dropping to 20-30 (okay) by 10am.

Saturday will be very warm on Mt. Hood, with sunny skies and temperatures near 40. Sunday looks dry to start with rain starting around noon.

Windsurfing/kiting wind models are all over the place. We’re going to have to wait a day and see how they shake out. The huge easterlies for Monday are now no-go. Tuesday still looks windy, but not nuclear.

Have an awesome day today!
