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′

Good morning!

I’ll save you from any more renditions of ‘Twas the Night Before Christmas and just give you a forecast this morning.

Today looks partly cloudy on Mt. Hood. The freezing level will be at 7500’ early, rising to 8000’ in the afternoon. Wind will be WSW 20-25 in the morning, backing off to SW 15-20 in the afternoon . No precip, or only very light and passing trace amounts.

Tomorrow looks (hallelujah) snowy! The freezing level will be at 8000’ early, dropping to 4500’ by 10am and 2000’ by 1pm. Snow starts falling around 10am, so there’s a chance of some brief mixed precip, but most of this will fall as snow. We’ll get .5” water value by 7p, for 4-6” of new snow. Flurries continue overnight. Wind tomorrow will be SW 30-35 early, going to WSW 40-50 by 10am and dropping slightly in the afternoon.

Monday looks partly cloudy in the morning, cloudy in the afternoon, with snow starting by 7pm. It looks like we’ll sneak by with snow on this one, but it’s going to be wet and heavy with a very stable atmospheric profile above the slopes: the snow level will be at 1000’ early, rising to 4500’ by Tuesday morning. We’ll see 1.5” of water value (or more, probably more) between 7pm Monday and 10am Tuesday, for 12-16” of new snow. Winds on Monday will be SW 15-20 early, picking up to SW 30-35 in the afternoon.

Wednesday looks showery. Thursday looks like a torrential downpour, and so does Friday.

Have an awesome day today!
