6/22 Forecast

Sorry about the late forecast. Yesterday I skinned to the top of Palmer, skied down, road my bike to Pete’s Pile. Went climbing. Bushwacked to the Surveyor’s trailhead. Rode Surveyor’s and Kitchen Sink and then down the road to Tucker Bridge and then kayked the lower Hood River, finishing at 9:30pm. So, I slept in.…

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!

The gradient this morning is at .09, and it’s currently whitecapping at the Hatch. It’s going to pick up today as a trough approaches. We’ll see a build to 23-26 from Stevenson to Hood River this morning, picking up to 26-29 from Stevenson all the way to Arlington this afternoon. There’s a chance of thunderstorms today, so keep an eye out for that.

Tomorrow looks windy too, but it looks like we’ll have clouds near Hood River. The wind will shift east, hitting 26-29 in the afternoon from Mosier (or maybe Rowena) to Arlington.

Friday looks lighter, 17-20 or so, all day.

It’s Wednesday, and that means it’s Post and Pinot night. All girls are welcome to come hang at Dirty Fingers and drink wine and beer and oh yeah ride bikes and have a damned fine night. It’s also the Kayak Shed’s shop paddle and sailboat racing night.
