There’s not much going on out in the snow or wind world today, or for the next few days. Our best chance for wind will be today, as high pressure builds at the coast. I think 19-22 is reasonable through the central and near-east Gorge this afternoon, with the possibility for clearing skies in the…
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. 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!

There’s not much going on out in the snow or wind world today, or for the next few days. Our best chance for wind will be today, as high pressure builds at the coast. I think 19-22 is reasonable through the central and near-east Gorge this afternoon, with the possibility for clearing skies in the afternoon, along with a slight chance of 23-26 (unlikely).
High pressure builds for the next couple of days, shutting down rain and snow, and likely plunging the Gorge into an inversion until Tuesday. It sounds like the mountain bike trails are in decent shape right now, so pull that bike out of storage for a round of late fall mountain biking.
In the long-term, it looks like we’ll get some strong easterlies towards the end of the week.
What does this mean in the mountains? It means that whatever snow we get today and tomorrow is going to be it for the next week or so, dang it. Somebody start making sacrifices to the snow gods, please.
