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,

I really, truly had planned to work all day, but with 10” of new on the ground in the last 24 hours and 6” overnight and another 6” on the way, it’s hard to see going to work this morning.

We’ll see light snow flurries early, becoming moderate to heavy from 8am-2pm, becoming light to moderate after, with flurries overnight tonight. Total accumulation will be .25-.5” of water value, for 4-6” more snow. The snow level will be around 1000-1500’ today. Winds will be SW 20-30 early, going to W15-25 around 4pm.

Tomorrow morning looks pretty dry, with flurries starting around 1pm, becoming moderate snow after 10pm. The snow level tomorrow starts at 2000’, rising to 4500’ by 4pm. Total accumulation will be .5-.75” tomorrow, for 7-9” of new snow, mostly falling Friday night into Saturday morning. Winds will be SW 15-20 to start, going to SW 30-35 by 4pm, switching to W 30 overnight.

Saturday starts off with moderate to heavy snow fall through 4am, with flurries during the day and a chance of sunbreaks. Total accumulation will be .25”-.5”, for 4-6” of new snow, mostly falling before 4am and after 10pm. Winds will be W 20 to start, falling to W 10 by 1pm. The snow level starts at 3000’ and rises to 4000’ by 4pm before falling to 1500’ by Sunday morning.

Sunday sees heavy snow between 10pm Saturday night and 4am Sunday morning, and flurries for the rest of the day, for .25”-.5” of water value for 4-6” of new snow. Winds will be 5-10mph to start, going ot W 20 by 4pm and WNW 20 by 7pm.

Monday looks sunny, and more snow looks likely Tuesday and Wednesday.

Have an awesome day.
