This week’s forecast is brought to you by Crossfit Hood River and their upcoming standup paddle series taught by the SUP fitness queen, Nikki Gregg.

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.

It’s a cloudy start today as low pressure sits off the coast. That’s really not what we want for wind, but the thermals will save the day today. We’ll have 10-15 early near Hood River, building to gusty 16-19 by midday, and filling in to 22-25 east of Mosier late in the day.

Coming up tomorrow that upper low starts to move onshore. We’ll see 10-15 early in the morning in the western Gorge, picking up to gusty 16-19 in the afternoon. East of Mosier, we’ll have 22-24 in the afternoon.


The Clymb: free membership.
Access to super cheap gear including Trew, Zeal, Sierra Designs, and many more.

Thursday starts off very light with another low off the coast. As it moves onshore in the afternoon, the wind will pick up to 22-25 from Hood River out to Arlington in the afternoon with less wind at Stevenson.

Tomorrow brings day one of the Ro-Sham-Throwdown. Qualifying rounds go all day Wednesday and Thursday at the Marina with a party at the British Pub on Thursday night to announce the qualifiers. Head to the Marina Friday and Saturday to watch the actual competition. For more information just search out the event on Facebook.

Also tomorrow there’s the Post and Pinot mountain bike ride for all women, sponsored by Naked Winery, and leaving Dirty Fingers at 5:30. The co-ed, original versioin of this ride leaves Dirty Fingers at 5:30 on Thursday. And speaking of bike riding, temps are going to be about 10 degrees below normal this week, so break out the road ride and head to Vista Ridge or Lost Lake, where the rhodies are in full bloom!

Have an awesome day today!
