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!

Mountain Weather Forecast

Weather will hold this morning, with snow flurries alternating with sunny skies this morning and clouds moving in sometime this afternoon. Winds will be W 15-20 this morning, going to SW 10-15 by 7pm. Total precip today will be less than .1” water value for 1” or less of new snow. The snow level today will be 1000-2000’.

We’ll see light snow flurries and possible sunbreaks tomorrow. Winds will be WNW 10 in the morning, going to NW 15-20 midday, going to NW 15-25 by 7pm, rising to WNW 25-30 by 10pm. Total accumulation will be less than .25” water value for 2-3” of new snow. the snow level will be around 1500’, with a brief rise to 3000’ overnight.

Snowfall increases around midnight Monday, becoming moderate during the day Tuesday. The snow level will be around 1000’ . Total accumulation between 4am Tuesday and 4am Wednesday will be .5-.75” water value, for 6-8” of new snow. Winds on Tuesday will be problematic. Early winds will be W to WNW 35-45, rising to NW 40-50 by 10am, holding through 7pm, and dropping a bit to NW 35-40 overnight. Because of the wind direction, we actually may see more than the models are predicting, so 50+ is not out of the question.

Moderate snowfall continues through Wednesday night, with .5-.75” water value for another 6-8” of new snow. Winds will be WNW 30-35 in the morning, going to WSW 30-35 by 4pm. The snow level will be around 1000’.

Have an awesome day today!
