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!

Good morning!

The east winds are back this morning, and along with the stagnant air mass overhead, the Nothing has returned. I expect it won’t stick around long today, but if you’re up early, you have a chance to see it. There won’t be many Nothing days this winter, with the dynamic La Nina ruling the region, so take this chance to look at the gloom.

Windsurfing or kiting is on the radar this morning, as balmy temperatures in the upper 30’s make for a nice morning on the water… if you are a penguin. The east gradient of .10 is enough for upper teens to low twenties in Stevenson with upper twenties at Rooster Rock.

Easterlies blow again tomorrow morning, before swinging around to westerlies on Thursday as a weak front pulls into the PNW parking lot.

Coming up tomorrow night, there’s Kayak Polo at the Hood River Pool. Also tomorrow night, Paul Oakenfold plays in Portland. I have two tickets to the show, thanks to fabulous Mike from Area 54. If you’d like to see Mike and his DJ pal Tim play, they’re spinning at Masu in Portland this Friday at 8pm. They’ll have swag from the record labels (free stuff, yay!), and if you’re really nice, they might buy you sushi dinner (okay, maybe not).

Also this week, there’s an Energy Trust workshop at the Hood River Inn tomorrow night. Come learn how to make your home more energy efficient and get a yummy free meal. More information at EnergyTrust.org. On Friday night TeleVision, the new PowderWhores telemark ski movie, plays at Dog River at 8pm. On Saturday, there’s a work party on the new Sexy Beast trail in Post Canyon. Meet at Binn’s Hill staging area at 9am, and expect to work for 4-5 hours. Food provided. If you ride upper Post, you should come help with this one. It will vastly improve your shuttling, free-ride, downhill-lovin’ experience!

Have an awesome day today!
