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.

Mt. Hood Snow Forecast – 5000′
4a-8a 8a-12p 12p-4p 4p-8p 8p-4a
Saturday
Sunday
Monday

Hopefully you caught the eclipse this morning!

We’ll start off with clear skies today, becoming cloudy around 2pm. The freezing level will be 8000’ early, dropping to 4000’ by 1pm and dropping to 1000’ by 7pm. And that is the end of the inversion for a few days. The wind today will be SW 20-30, going to W 20-30 around 7pm.

We’ll see a few flurries overnight, but no significant snow accumulation, and those flurries will end by 7am Sunday. The sky will gradually clear, and the freezing level will be around 1000’ with light and variable wind on the mountain, becoming light north wind.

Monday looks clear and cold with the freezing level at the surface in the Gorge. Mt. Hood wind will be N 15-20 going to NE 15-20 by 1pm.

The inversion returns Tuesday morning, with above-freezing temps on the hill. A system moves in Tuesday afternoon, bringing increasing WNW wind in the 35-40 range and about 2” of snow Tuesday night.

Although this blocking system is breaking down, at this time, models show no significant snowfall for the next week. Sorry to be such a downer.

For you wind junkies, we’ll see easterlies at 24-28 this morning before the wind switches to west. Tuesday brings another round of east wind. Anyone happen to look at iWindsurf last night? It was averaging 52 at Rooster. That’s windy.

Have an awesome day today!
