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,

Henni’s Kitchen and Bar is this week’s sponsor. In Washington? Hungry? Henni’s is here for you 7 days a week from 5pm-close. Chef Christiaan Erasmus earned his stars at many delicious restaurants, including Abruzzo in Hood River and Portland’s Fratelli. He’s moved on from Italian, to your benefit. At Henni’s, you’ll find curries, burgers, delicious pasta, and all sorts of mouth-watering small plates. Prices are quite reasonable, and the drinks are delicious. Like Henni’s on Facebook and know about the daily mixed drink specials. More importantly, Henni’s gives back to the community: Christiaan, a newly-minted citizen of the USA, put together the pig roast for the White Salmon Pool. Talk about giving back to your community… Henni’s supports White Salmon – you go support Henni’s!

Before you read on, please remember that this report is brought to you free of charge. Nobody pays me to do this unless you do! If the report saves you time, money, keeps you in the loop, or just helps you have more fun, please take the time to










make a donation. Suggested minimum: $12. That’s $1/month You pay more than that in gas driving to the beach. I know I’ve saved you that much. Kick down! Thank you for your support!

Today’s forecast: For those of you who are tired of the wind, hang on for one more day, because it’s going to back off. Today, though, we’ll see west wind at 10-15 in the western Gorge under clouds. East of here, 23-26.

Tomorrow starts off with light east wind, picking up to 21-24 at Stevenson and Rooster Rock. Thursday starts off light, but we should see the wind pick up out of the west on Thursday afternoon. Along with the light wind on Wednesday and Thursday, we’ll see warm weather, with highs in the 70’s.

If you’re looking for something to do tonight, there’s the Hood River Triathlon club’s workout of 500 yards swimming, 7 miles on the bike, and 2 miles of running. Everyone’s welcome to come try this out. Also tonight, free standup paddle lessons and demos at the Ladies Supper Club. Meet at the Big Winds tent at Hood River’s Event Site at 5:30. This is weather permitting, so check the Big Winds website or give them a call to make sure it’s on this evening.

Tomorrow night, it’s the Post and Pinot women’s mountain bike ride, the Kayak Shed’s whitewater shop paddle, and the sailboat races out of the Hood River Marina. On Thursday, it’s the Thursday recovery road bike ride from Discover Bikes, more standup paddle demos at the Gorge Kayak School, and a run in Post Canyon with the Triathlon crowd, meeting at the bottom of Post Canyon Road at 5pm. Also in Post on Thursday night, it’s the Post and Pint bike ride.

This upcoming weekend: The Ashland Super D/Enduro bike race thingy. Closer to home, a tour of the Hood River County forestland with forest manager Doug Thiesies. This is for all of you who have been asking why the county is unable to make designated trail corridors and other forest-related questions. Sign up for this class through community ed, and you will come away with a much better understanding of how the county forest works.

Have an awesome day today!

Temira
