The Gorge Is My Gym

9/25 forecast

You’ll have another chance to hit the water later today. High pressure off the coast combines with a bit of a thermal gradient this afternoon to swing another round of west winds through the Gorge. I’m not saying it’s going to be super strong, but I think we’ll see 17-20 for much of the day…

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.

The wind picks up a notch on Saturday, as high pressure off the coast combines with a wea k system passing to the North. Dawn patrol looks like a distinct possibility on Saturday in the Corridor. As the desert warms up towards midday, winds warm up too. Watch for 27-30 for much of the day Saturday.

At this point, it’s looking like Sunday will be a east wind day, but hey, east winds are better than no wind at all.

Before you hit the water Saturday, give Da Kine and CGWA a hand at the Hatchery with the yearly Hatch work party. There’s free Da Kine swag for you if you come help out… Actually, I’d just like to take a moment here to thank Da Kine. They always kick down goodies for work parties and charity events. Da Kine is the best – they support you, so you should support them by buying their awesome gear!

Finally, don’t forget that this weekend is your chance to join Dirty Fingers bike repair for the annual campout at Lewis River. Eat, drink, and ride the boundary trail… what more could you want!?

      Hey Gary, you’re doing my job! But yep, you’re probably right… only problem is that it’s going to be freezing cold by Wednesday, as snow levels fall to the passes. But hey, nuclear westerlies are okay by me! No gliding, tho, right?

Have an awesome day.

Love, Temira
