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,

It’s foggy on the mountain this morning, which isn’t my favorite ski weather, but I’ll still hit the slopes today, just because it’s Friday.

We’ll see clouds and fog today with a chance of sunbreaks midday before snow starts falling around 4pm. The snow level will be around 3000’ early, rising to 4500’ by 1pm. Winds will be SW 15-20 early, rising to SW 25-30 by 1pm, going to SW 35-45 by 7pm. Snowfall will be moderate 7pm today through 7am tomorrow, with a total of .5-.75” water value for 5-7” of new snow.

The snow level tomorrow morning will be around 2000’, falling to 1500’ by 10am. Snowfall will decrease as the morning goes on, becoming light after 7am and ending by 4pm. Winds will be W 25-30 early, fading to SW 15-20 by 1pm, becoming light by evening. Total snowfall after 4am will be .25”-.5”, most likely at the lower end, for 3-4” of new snow.

Sunday looks dry in one model with a couple inches of snow falling in another model. Either way, winds will be light and the snow level will be around 500-1000’. Monday looks mostly dry as well, with possible sun in the morning and the free air freezing level at or below 1000’. Winds will start off light on Monday, going to NW 15-20 by 7pm. Next chance for significant snowfall is the end of next week.

Have an awesome day.

Temira
