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 snowing on Mt.Hood now, after about .4” of rain last night. The snow level will keep dropping today, from around 3500’ this morning to 1000’ this afternoon. We’re post-frontal now, so we’ll have orographic flurries for 2” of new snow today. The wind will be strong westerly this morning at 30-40+, dropping to W 25-35 by 1pm and NW 10-20 by 4pm. Skies should clear in the late afternoon.

Tomorrow starts off clear, with clouds by early afternoon and snow starting around 4pm. We’ll get 2” of snow overnight with the snow level at 500-1000’. Wind tomorrow will be W 5-10 early, picking up to 10-20 early afternoon and NW 20-30 by 7pm.

Saturday morning starts with a few flurries, becoming partly cloudy to clear by 10am. The freezing level will be around 1000’ early, rising to 6500’ by 7pm. Wind will be NW 10-20 early, backing off to W 5-10 in the evening.

Sunday looks dry and clear with SW wind at 10-20. A weak system may come in sometime Monday, but other than that, the extended forecast looks pretty dry.

Coming up over the next few days, there’s the Dimwits with Bright Lights night ride at the Cascade Locks EasyCLIMB trail tomorrow night at 6:30, there’s a XC race at the Meadows Nordic Center on Saturday, free acupuncture at Gorge Community Acupuncture on Saturday, and the Teacup Nordic Tea Party on Sunday. Also on Saturday, it’s the Hood River Weather chatroom Capricorn birthday party at Everybody’s starting at 4:30.

Have a great day today!
