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.

Mt. Hood Snow Forecast – 5000′
4a-8a 8a-12p 12p-4p 4p-8p 8p-4a
Wednesday
Thursday
Friday

Good morning!

More moisture came in overnight than I expected, giving the mountains a couple inches of new snow by this morning. That’s good news, for sure. Right now (9am) it’s just above freezing, but it’s still snowing. We’ll see the snow level drop to 3500’ by 10am, and then rise back to 6000’ by 1pm and 7500’ by 7pm. Precip of some sort continues through 4pm, for .2-.3” water value (WV). That should be snow this morning, but will likely switch to rain midday at lower ski area elevations. Expect another 1-2” of snow today with light rain tonight. Wind will be SW 20-25 for much of the day, dropping to SW 10-15 this evening.

We’ll see .3” WV of rain Wednesday night into Thursday morning. Skies will be cloudy through 10am, clearing after that. The snow level will be 7500’ at 1am Thursday, dropping to 6500’ at 4am, rising to 8000’ by 10am and 10,000’ by 1pm. Wind will be SW at 20-25 early, pickng up to SW 25-30 early afternoon.

We’ll have high clouds Friday morning, becoming cloudy, with precip starting around 10am. The snow level will be 8000’ at 4am, 6500’ at 7am, 6000’ at 10am, and 4000’ by 10pm. We’ll see light rain during the day, starting around 10am, switching to snow late in the evening, for .1-.2” WV during the day and another .3” between 4pm Friday and 4pm Saturday. That should give us 2” or snow of new snow by Saturday morning.

Saturday starts off cloudy, becoming clear by midday. The snow level will be 2000’ early, dropping to 1000’ by 10am. Wind will be SW 25-30 early, swinging to W 20ish by mid-morning.

At this point, it looks like Sunday starts off dry, with heavy snow hitting sometime early afternoon.

Have a great day today!
