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,

Well… Sometimes the previous day’s models don’t reflect what will happen during the next day. The gradient this morning is .13, and with only limited clouds above Hood River, it’s going to be a very lovely day in the corridor, once again. Models are suggesting the wind will fade away to nothing by afternoon, but I just don’t see that happening given what’s going on in the real world. I think we’ll see a quick build to 24-26 in the Corridor today, with 21-24 at Rowena, Doug’s and Mosier this afternoon.

Tomorrow looks light in the morning as weak high pressure straddles the Cascades. A cold front approaches in the afternoon. When that happens, we’ll quickly go from 0-25 in Stevenson and in the Corridor. Then the Corridor will fade and get gusty and the wind will shift to Arlington, where we’ll see 24-27. It will blow at Rowena, Doug’s, etc, but it’s going to be pretty darn gusty and in the 21-24 range.

After the front passes tomorrow night, a large upper level low sets up off the coast leaving us with light wind in the Gorge.

In other news, Post is a muddy disaster, so give it one more day. And if you are in Post, please, please stay off the first section of trail and spread the word to other users. We’re trying to build good relations with the landowner. Consider the first section of trail closed, and consider the G-out closed (the section after the power line clearing on Mitchell Ridge). Please! (That’s a request from your local bike shop)

Finally, speaking of biking, Charley LaVenture trail day is Sunday, there’s a CGORA work party on Sunday as well, and on Saturday night, there’s a fundraiser at the Hood River Library.

Have a great day today!

Temira
