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.

We’ll have more west wind on Saturday, with lots of clouds and weak gradients to start. The wind will be in the 10-15 range early, picking up to 21-24 east of Hood River in the afternoon.

In off-the water events, there’s a lot going on this weekend, especially tomorrow. If you’re a kiteboarder or want to watch kiteboarding, there’s the Cabrinha race at the Hood River Marina (yeah, I know, that’s on the water, but spectating is not). For runners, there’s the White Salmon Backyard ½ Marathon, benefiting the local cross-country team. There’s also a work party in Post Canyon at 9, the Kayak Shed’s Saturday paddle at 10, and at 8pm in Portland, there’s the World Naked Bike Ride. For gardeners, there’s the Master Gardeners’ garden tour going on most of the day, and for all of you, there’s 2nd Wind’s summer opener party at the British Pub in Hood River starting at 9pm.

Have an awesome day today!
