3/9 Forecast

Good morning! Nice work yesterday, windsurfers and kiters. I couldn’t make it out, but I hear stories that it was a fun day on the water. You might see some light westerlies today (brrr… there’s snow on Underwood Mountain!) in the 17-20 range, fading early, but your next best chance to sail or kite is…

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.

Good morning!

Nice work yesterday, windsurfers and kiters. I couldn’t make it out, but I hear stories that it was a fun day on the water. You might see some light westerlies today (brrr… there’s snow on Underwood Mountain!) in the 17-20 range, fading early, but your next best chance to sail or kite is tomorrow. A weak front crossing tonight combines with high pressure at the coast tomorrow for 22-26 on the river.

It’s going to be a good opportunity for the classic daily double.

Snow levels stay low tonight and .25″-.5″ of water value drops on Mt. Hood. We’ll see 4-8″ of snow overnight, powder snow, not that heavy concrete we’ve had all season. Next chance for powder skiing is Thursday night, followed by Friday and Saturday. Only have one day? Friday looks good.

In mountain biking land, I had a report yesterday that the Super D in Post was in perfect shape. Unfortunately, last night’s rain and snow likely ruined that. If anyone rides today, let me know how it is out there… snowy, I’d guess, judging by what I can see out the window.

Have a great day today. See you on the slopes tomorrow!

Temira
