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,

What a lovely day! We’ll see orographic snow flurries and decreasing wind today with sunbreaks before clouds move back in late in the day. Winds this morning will be WSW 35-45, going to W 20-25 by 10am, going to WSW 15-20 by 4pm. Total precip today will be an inch or so this morning, with snow ending by 1pm. The snow level will hold around 1500-2000’ today.

Tomorrow looks partly cloudy in the morning with precip (unfortunately) staying mostly to the south of us. At best we’ll see an inch or two of snow during the day, but even that looks unlikely. Winds will be NW 10-25 tomorrow morning, going to W 10-15 by 4pm. The free air freezing level will be around 500-1000’.

Monday looks dry with clouds moving in and flurries by 4pm. Total precip overnight into Tuesday will be less than .25” of water value for 1-2” of new snow. Winds on Monday will be NW 10-20 all day, going to WSW 15-25 late in the evening. The snow level will be around 2500-3000’.

Tuesday brings a warming trend with increasing wind. The snow level starts at 3000’, rising to 5000’ by 4pm, when snow will start. Wednesday looks pretty warm, with the snow level around 5000’ all day. By Thursday 10am, the snow level will plummet and lots of pow will fall. The extended forecast looks fairly cold and snowy on Mt. Hood. Prepare for more powder. =)

Have an awesome day.

Temira
