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!

Good morning!

It’s a breezy morning on Mt. Hood, and it’s going to stay breezy all day. The freezing level will be 10000’ early, dropping a bit to 9000’ by 7pm and dropping to 5500-6000’ by 10pm. Precip starts around 5-7pm, sadly falling as rain through midnight or so. We’ll see .3” of rain/freezing rain/lifties’ favorite conditions by midnight. The wind will be SW 35-40+ this morning, picking up to SW 40-60 by 1pm and holding all night long.

The r**n switches to snow around midnight, for 3” or so by 7am as the freezing level falls to 1500’ by 7am We’ll get another 1-2” between 7am and 4pm in orographic snow showers. The wind tomorrow will be SW 40-60 early, going to WSW 40-50 by 7am, W 35-40 by 10am and NW 20-25 by 4pm.

Friday looks clear and dry with high clouds moving in during the afternoon. The freezing level will be around 1000’ with light and variable wind.

Saturday looks clear and cold, with the freezing level around 1000’ and light and variable wind becoming W 10-15. Models are disagreeing on Sunday, with one showing a weak warm front and one showing sunshine, so we’ll just have to wait and see.

Coming up the rest of this week, the Dimwits With Bright Lights ride the Cascade Locks EasyCLIMB trail Friday night starting at 6:30 (bring your stick and something to roast on it), there’s free acupuncture at Gorge Community Acupuncture on Saturday. There’s a 10k Nordic race at Meadows. On Sunday, it’s the annual Tea Party at Teacup Nordic and it’s my birthday. =)

Have a great day today!
