The Gorge Is My Gym

6/25 Forecast

Morning everyone! A finicky front crossed Oregon Last night. Morning clouds were shading the river all the way to The Dalles, and morning gradients were at .07. The low teens start builds to 23-26 later on, with Doug’s and Maryhill being the windiest spots today. Speaking of doug’s, if you are planning on using the…

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.

Or just contribute enough for a cup or pound of coffee. I need coffee! Every contribution, no matter the amount, makes a difference.

Morning everyone!

A finicky front crossed Oregon Last night. Morning clouds were shading the river all the way to The Dalles, and morning gradients were at .07. The low teens start builds to 23-26 later on, with Doug’s and Maryhill being the windiest spots today. Speaking of doug’s, if you are planning on using the Lyle sandbar for kiteboarding or anything else, don’t. The railroad police are issuing thousand-dollar tickets. This is no urban legend. This is the real deal. Don’t cross the tracks in Lyle.

High pressure builds off the coast tomorrow driving gorge westerlies and coast northerlies. We’ll start off tomorrow with corridor winds in the low twenties or so, with a midday build into the 23-27 range. It’s also going to be windy at the coast tomorrow with a 9 foot swell. Sounds like a perfect beach day to me!

The weekend is looking windy at this point, however impossible that may be on Windfest weekend.

Now, the weekend activity list. On Saturday we’ve got the Hood River Super D, Windfest, Discover bike’s 8am bike rides and the Dirty Fingers Ladyfinger ride. There’s also a mountain bike work party at Cook Meadows. Sunday brings Windfest, the Bionicon bikes demo and a CGWA swap meet.

Speaking of bikes, today is the Dirty Fingers Post and Pint Super-D shuttle preview. Meet at Dirty Fingesr at 5:30.

For more information about those events (start times, meeting locations, whatever), visit the not-yet-finished website at http://TheGorgeismyGym.com

Whatever you do today, have an awesome day!
