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
Sunday
Monday
Tuesday

Ah yes, the joy of wet precipitation on the mountain. And wind. We’ll see light, occasional mist this morning on Mt. Hood, quickly switching to light and occasional snow flurries. Total precip will be .05” water value or less for trace amounts on the ground. The snow level will be somewhere way up there early, falling to 2500’ by 10am and rising to 3000’ by 4pm. The wind will be windy: NW 30-35 early, dropping to 20-30 by 10am and then going to N 15-20 by 4pm.

Tomorrow looks dry and clear with a developing inversion. The Nothing will haunt the Gorge, but the sun will stalk Mt. Hood. The freezing level will rise to 8000’ in the afternoon. The wind will be E 10-20 early going to NW 5-10 late.

Tuesday brings a strong inversion in the morning (expect the Nothing again in the Gorge) and a weak, mostly dry system late in the day. The freezing level will be 7000’ early, dropping to 6000’ by 10am and falling to 4000’ by 7pm. Any precip will start around 1pm, falling as light r**n before switching to light snow. Total water value will be less than .1” for nearly no accumulation. Wind will be NW 20-25 early, picking up to NW 30-35 by 10am and going to N 20-30 in the evening.

Wednesday looks cold, with east wind and no precip. Next chance for significant snowfall: Friday.

Today is the NW Demo Tour at Meadows, with free demos of lots of 2012 skis and boards.

Have an awesome day today!
