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 find this service valuable (gets you the good days on the mountain, saves you gas and time, etc.) please donate. 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 twice-yearly pledge drive. Thank you again for your support!

Good morning,
First off today, happy March, and a big thank you to everyone who donated during the February pledge drive. Your donations keep this forecast going – despite rumors to the contrary, nobody pays me to write this and post it. This forecast started as a way for me to find better windsurfing conditions. It morphed into a way for me to find better skiing in the winter. Seemed silly to keep that information to myself, so it’s here for you (almost) every day. Apparently I’m too OCD to take a day off!
I’m super excited today. Why? No, not about the sequester. I’m pretty pissed about that. I’m excited because it’s already 52° in the Gorge, and the weather models say it’s going to be near 60° today! Biking in shorts! Playing in the garden! No down jacket! Hooray! As of 6am, it was still sprinkling, but it’ll stop, and become partly cloudy or maybe even sunny in the Gorge. Wind will be W 10-15 early becoming light this afternoon.
