Before you read on, please remember that this report (wind, snow and events!) 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. It’s not expensive, not like some other wind forecasting services. It’s accurate, unlike the free choices out there. So donate… Just $1/month ($12 minimum donation suggested) gets you on the mailing list and in the running for prizes. And your donation keeps the forecast coming almost every day. Donate, or someday this service won’t be here! Thank you for your support!
I do have some nice business sponsors who give away prizes for my email recipients, people who’ve donated. This week’s is Cascade Acupuncture in Hood River and The Dalles. Let’s face it: you play hard. You’re going to get sore, and you might even get hurt. Cascade Acupuncture can help you with that. Massage? Sure. Acupuncture? Definitely. Chinese Herbs? Yes, that too. Over 20 insurance companies will cover Cascade Acupuncture’s service, and C.A. will do the hard part of checking your insurance coverage and benefits, to minimize the risk of large bills. With locations in Hood River and The Dalles, online scheduling, and Monday-Saturday hours, it’s convenient to get yourself feeling better, right now.
We got lucky yesterday, as the severe thunderstorms stayed east of The Dalles and not over our cherry orchards. We’ll see continued slight chances for thunderstorms over the next couple of days, before the atmosphere stabilizes on Friday, but yesterday should have been the worst of it.
With the unstable weather, we’ll have gusty west wind through the Gorge. The strongest wind today will be from Stevenson to Hood River this morning, with 18-23 early, picking up to 24-28 mid morning, possibly picking up to 26-30 for a bit midday. After noon, we’ll see 22-26 in the western Gorge and 24-28 east of Mosier.
Thursday morning starts with west wind at 10-15 from Stevenson ot Hood River, dropping midday and rising back to 17-20 from Stevenon to The Dalles in the afternoon. On Friday, we’ll see west wind in the low to mid twenties. As of this morning, Saturday looks like a light start with teens in the afternoon and Sunday looks quite windy.
In events today, the RoShamThrowDown continues at the Hood River sandbar. Plenty of wind today means plenty of action, so take the kids down to the Hood River Sandbar to watch stuff you usually only see on TV. Also today, come by Windance after 5pm to meet the Best Kiteboarding team.
Coming up tomorrow night, it’s your final chance to ride Seven Streams before it’s logged. Meet At Dirty Fingers at 5:30 for the Post and Pint ride, meet at the bottom of Post Canyon road at 5:30 for the mellow version, or meet for the wake at Dirty Fingers at 7:45. Please bring a finger-food dish to share.
Have an awesome day today!
