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 ended up being a monster of an east wind day in Stevenson and at Rooster Rock. We’re not going to see anything so spectacular today. The wind starts out light out of the east this morning, picking up out of the west this afternoon, and blowing in the 17-20 range from Stevenson to Mosier.

The wind starts out light again tomorrow, and then as a system passes to the north late in the afternoon, westerlies pick up to 10-15 near Hood River and, briefly, 23-26 east of The Dalles. On Sunday, a big low pressure system off the coast turns the wind around again, and we’ll see light easterlies for much of the day.

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

Coming up this evening, it’s rugby night at the Hood River Marina. It’s touch rugby, so it’s open to everyone, and no experience is required. Game starts at 6pm. And if that’s not enough rugby for you, there’s another pickup touch rugby game in Mosier at 4pm on Sunday.

Also this weekend, on Saturday, it’s Hops Fest in Hood River from noon ‘til 9pm. It’s also Ocktoberfest in Leavenworth, where you can ride bikes with the Dirty Fingers Bike Repair gang. If you want to ride bikes here, the best riding is either to the west or at higher elevations, where the rain has turned the dirt into mountain bike perfection. While you’re out on the trails, keep your eyes open for chanterelles and boletes, because they’re starting to pop up where it’s been raining.

Have an awesome day today!
