It’s the 1st annual Winter Pledge Drive!
Thank you for using this forecast! It’s free to use, but it’s not free for me to write. I put about an hour a day into creating a (hopefully) accurate forecast, and I pay for the hosting on this website. If you use this forecast to pick the good days on the hill or on the river, if you find this report saves you gas money or time, please make a donation during pledge drive month! I’m just one gal with other jobs writing this for you! Your generosity keeps this going for everyone. I also send an email version of this forecast. Make a $12 or larger donation, and you’re on the email list for a year. No dealing with the pledge drive. Here’s how this works. If I get donations totally $15 or more today, I post a forecast tomorrow. To make this fair, I’ll update the color of the dot midday (a girl’s gotta work, you know.)
Today’s forecast status: 
as of 6:20am Monday. We’re $3 short for today. Thank you for your support!

Good morning,
Here we go again with another lovely not-quite-spring day in the Gorge. Although it’s chilly this morning, temps will rise to the mid-forties this afternoon under mostly sunny skies. Monday starts off clear, but clouds move in midday. The temp will be be right around freezing early, rising to the upper thirties in the afternoon. Tuesday starts off cloudy, with temps in the upper thirties, rising to the low 40’s in the afternoon. Wednesday looks cloudy too, with temps right around 40 degrees. Gorge wind will be light today, picking up to 26-30 in the central Gorge on Monday and gusty 24-28 through the whole Gorge on Tuesday.
Up on Mt. Hood, we’ll see clear sky today. The free air freezing level (FAF) will be around 1500′ all day, although upper-elevation north wind will cause some compressional heating up high. Wind today will be N 20-30.
