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!

Yesterday turned into a big east wind day, despite the lack of wind in the morning. I was expecting mid-twenties this morning, but the iWindsurf Rooster Rock sensor says 38. That’s windy. Stevenson is in the mid-twenties. That is also somewhat windy. If you want to get on the water, do it early, because the wind will die by midday. Tomorrow starts off light, picking up to west 13-16 late in the afternoon from Stevenson to Hood River. Saturday looks like light wind.

For you mountain bikers who’ve been bummed about the lack of rain, you can cheer up. It might not have rained in lower Post Canyon, but the trails above GP, especially the 140 trail, are in excellent shape, so try riding upper Post instead of Lower for a change of pace.

Access to super cheap gear including Trew, Zeal, Sierra Designs, and many more.

If you’re a bike commuter, swing by Dog River from 7:30 to 9 this morning for the Bike Commute Challenge awards. If you show up on a bike, you get free coffee. For you Washingtonians, head to 10 Speed North tomorrow morning from 7:30 to 9 for your Bike Commute Challenge awards party.

If you’ll be around this weekend, there’s the Green Living Tour, a fundraiser for the Gorge Earth Center, where you can check out all sorts of green homes in Hood River and Mosier. Head to cgec.org for more information about the tour. It’s $20 for a carload of people or it’s $15 for a group of cyclists.

Also this weekend, it’s the Dirty Fingers Customer Appreciation Campout at Leavenworth. Grab your Lederhosen and come ride some new trails!

Have an awesome day today!
