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!

Mt. Hood Snow Forecast – 5000′
4a-8a 8a-12p 12p-4p 4p-8p 8p-4a
Tuesday
Wednesday
Thursday

Good morning!

If you want windsurfing or kiting, tomorrow sees west wind at 17-21 in the morning, fading in the afternoon, and Thursday brings east wind at 24-27. If you want to do something cool today, go check out the new sandbar at the mouth of the White Salmon. It’s nothing short of spectacular. Kiters, you have a new Kite Beach.

We’ll see increasing clouds today with snow starting around 8pm. The snow level will be 2000’ early, rising to 5500’ by 4pm and falling back to 2500’ by 10pm, so we should (please, please) just see 2-3” of snow from this overnight front. Winds will be W 15-20 early, rising to W 30-35 by 4pm and holding overnight.

Tomorrow starts off cloudy, becoming clear by noon. The freezing level will be around 2500’. What makes tomorrow interesting is the unusual wind direction. We’ll see NW 30-40 early, going to N 30-40 by 7am and NE 30-40 by 4pm. Although the freezing level is predicted to be around 2500’, we’re probably going to see warmer temps from the adiabatic heating (downslope heating… blah, blah, blah, right?), and possibly stronger wind. Anyway, keep an eye on the temps and windspeeds tomorrow.

Thursday will be dry and clear, with the freezing level early at 1000’ or so, rising to 7000’ in the afternoon. We’ll see E wind at 20-30 early, going to N 10-20 in the afternoon.

The long term forecast shows the blocking high holding in the Pacific through the next ten days. Hopefully that will change.

Have an awesome day today!
