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!

Mountain Weather Forecast:
Today starts off with partly cloudy skies on Mt. Hood, but snow flurries move in before daylight, with light flurries until 10am, becoming moderate snow between 10am and 10pm. Total water value today will be .5-.75” for 5-8” of light and fluffy new snow. The snow level today will be less than 1000’. Winds today start at WSW 10-15, building to 15-20 by 4pm and continuing overnight.
Tomorrow brings alternating orographic snow flurries and partly cloudy skies. Total accumulation tomorrow will be less than .25” water value for 1-3” of new snow. Winds tomorrow start off WSW 15-20, dropping to 10-15 midday, going to SW 10 overnight.
Models are differing in their opinions of Saturday’s weather, but the overall consensus is for dry, partly cloudy to sunny weather with light wind. We may see some high clouds as an upper level low swings by the coast, but the chance of precipitation is minimal.
It looks like the snow will start again during the day on Sunday, with significant accumulation between midday Sunday and Monday morning. Winds on Sunday look light. There is another model suggesting the snow will hold off until Sunday night, so we may have to wait a day or two for a better consensus.
Don’t forget that ‘Wildwater, A Love Story’ plays at Columbia Center for the Arts tonight at 7pm.
Have a great day today!
