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.

Or just contribute enough for a cup or pound of coffee. I need coffee! Every contribution, no matter the amount, makes a difference.

Good morning!

It’s snowing, and it’s going to keep snowing all day. Total water value today will be .75-1.0” for 9-12” of new snow, falling continuously during the day. The snow level will be 2000’ early, rising to 3000’ mid-afternoon. Winds will be SW 30-35 early dropping to SW 25-30 by 4pm.

Tomorrow brings a bit more snow. The snow level early will be 2000’, rising to 4000’ by 2pm. Winds will be NW 15-20 early rising to SW 10-15 by 2pm. We’ll see a total of .2-.3” of water value for 2” or so of new snow.

Tuesday looks snowy, with the snow level at 3000’ early rising to 3500’ by 4pm. Snow starts by 5am, and models are disagreeing on snow totals. Given a little orographic help, I think we’ll see .3-.4” of water value for 3-5” of new snow. Winds will be WSW 30-35 early, switching to NW 25-35 by 2pm.

The snow level overnight Tuesday climbs dramatically, hitting 8000’ or so by the morning. Models are still all over the place with rainfall and wind, but at this point, it looks like we’ll see a small amount of precip with a large amount of NW wind (35-45mph).

I’m headed to Crystal for the next couple of days with a friend, so I’m probably not going to be doing a forecast. Vacation, baby!

Have a great day today!

Temira
