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′
4a-8a 8a-12p 12p-4p 4p-8p 8p-4a
Sunday
Monday
Tuesday

Good morning!

More sunny, boring weather on the way. Today, Sunday, looks like a carbon copy of yesterday: Inversion, temps rising a few degrees above freezing from 4000’-8000’ and E/SE wind at 5-10mph.

Monday may bring some high clouds, but the temperature profile looks similar to today. Just above freezing from 4000’-8000’ with SE wind at 10-15.

Tuesday starts off clear, becoming cloudy in the evening as a weak front brushes the PNW. We’ll have that same inversion in the morning, but we’ll see the free air freezing level go to 6000’ late in the afternoon with west wind at 10-15. We may see a few flurries overnight into Wednesday morning.

Wednesday will have high clouds or partly cloudy conditions in the morning, with the snow level at 4500’ early and west wind at 5-10mph. We’ll see a chance of a few inches of snow during the day on Wednesday, but the way things are trending, we may not see anything at all.

The weather looks to stay dry and sunny through next weekend, but some models are showing a return to wetter, more seasonal weather next weekend.

In the meantime, you windsurfers and kiters can enjoy strong east wind today and tomorrow, a break on Tuesday, and a likely return to strong east wind in the latter part of the week.

Have a great day today!

Temira
