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 clear, cold and calm on Mt. Hood today and it’s going to stay that way through this afternoon. Clouds will move in overnight with snow flurries starting around midnight. Winds will be W 5-10, picking up to W 10-15 mid-afternoon. We’ll see an inch or so of new tonight.

Tomorrow looks a bit questionable. The snow level starts at 2000’, but warm air will move over the top of cold air in place, giving us a decent chance of freezing rain or snow mixed with rain or super heavy rimed snow between 2pm and 10pm. We’ll see a total of 1-1.5” of WV before Tuesday morning. I think we’ll see some wet stuff early, followed by 6-8” of new snow overnight as the snow level drops to 4000’ by 11pm and 2000’ by Tuesday morning. Winds will be WSW 35-40 early, building to WSW 40-45 by 2pm.

Tuesday looks fun, with new snow on the ground and continued snowfall. The snow level will be at 2000’ early, falling to 1000’ by 8am. Snow flurries continue all day, becoming moderate overnight. Total snowfall will be .5-.75” WV, for a couple of inches during the day and 5-7” overnight. Winds will be W 30-35 early, dropping to W 25-30 by noon.

Wednesday looks fun, with more new snow on the ground and moderate to heavy snowfall all day. The snow level will hold at 2000’, and we’ll get another .75-1.0” WV for 8-12” of new falling continuously all day. Winds will be WSW 40-45 early, dropping to 30-35 by 11am and dropping to W 15-20 by 4pm.

The windsurfing/kiting forecast doesn’t look great, with mid-teens in the eastern Gorge as the systems roll through.

Have a great day today!
