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.

Or just contribute enough for a cup or pound of coffee. I need coffee! Every contribution, no matter the amount, makes a difference.

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

Good morning!

Today is the kind of day Mt. Hood powder skiers dream about. There’s tons of fresh snow on the ground and the snow level will be 500′ today. Wind will be NW at 20-30 all day. We’ll see .1-.3” water value (WV) by 4pm, for another 2-4” of new snow today. Another .3-.4” WV will fall by 4am Friday, for another 4-6” of new snow.

Friday starts off partly cloudy or with high clouds. The snow level will be 500′ early, with temps warming to -3C from 5000′-9000′ in the early afternoon. By 4pm, the freezing level will be at 5500′, rising to 6000′ by 10pm. Wind will be NW 25-30 in the morning and 20-25 in the afternoon. We’ll see precip start between 4pm and 7pm. It’s a tough call, but I think we’ll probably see a mix of freezing rain and sleet, with some wet snow thrown in. We’ll see .4”-.9” WV (most likely the lower end) between 4pm Friday and 4am Saturday.

Saturday starts off with the freezing level at 6500′, briefly dropping to 5500′ by 10am and then rising to 8500′ by 4pm and holding overnight. Wind will be NW 35 early, swinging to W 25 at 10am, 20-25 at 4pm and WSW 15 at 10pm. Total precip will be .2-.4” WV of rain/freezing rain by 4pm.

Sunday looks dry and clear, or with high clouds. The freezing level will be 8500′ all day. Wind will be ! 10-15 early, going to SW 15-20 by 1pm and 20-25 by 7pm.

Have a great day today!
