Gorge Wind Forecast
Hi friends! Hoping lots of you got out yesterday and played on the river! Today looks like a rest day. It’s followed by three days of moderate westerlies that’ll be right on the edge of enough/not enough. Models suggest inland high pressure (and other factors) on Tuesday and Wednesday will bring the easterlies back. Beyond that, we start to see enough noise in the ensembles that it’s not worth making guesses. The deterministic GFS for next Friday calls for a massive day, but there’s exactly zero sign of that in the Euro ensembles. So there ya go!

It’s Friday, TGIF, and we’ll have pretty much zero wind today anywhere along the Columbia. Gorge: no. Sauvie Island: no. Jones Beach: no. Canada: I don’t know. River flow over the last 24 hours was 61-77kcfs, river temp is 62.78F, and high temp forecast is 57F under cloudy sky.
Saturday sees a weak weather system slump towards us from the north. That will give us afternoon westerlies. Will it be enough? It’ll be right on the edge. The day starts with very light westerlies or calm wind. Afternoon sees the wind pick up to gusty 14-17 from Stevenson to Hood River, maybe to Mosier, with 5-10 to the east. High temp: 68F under cloudy sky with rain unlikely.
Writing the complete forecast takes me 1-2 hours a day. If it saves you time, gas money, or helps you plan your life, please consider contributing.
That system moves closer on Sunday, and along with it comes the rain. Ahead of the rain, we should see west wind. The day starts calm. Early in the afternoon, westerlies rise to gusty 14-17 from Stevenson to Mosier, 7-10 from Lyle to Doug’s, and gusty 18-22 from Avery to Arlington late morning or early afternoon. Models suggest the wind will level out mid-afternoon at gusty 17-20 from Stevenson to Arlington, but models also suggest rain, potentially moderate to heavy rain. It seems likely the wind will under-perform in this situation. Models are also trending later with the rain, which will result in the timing of the wind shifting. In other words, there’s still a lot up in the air. Pun intended.

Monday probably brings another round of moderate westerlies in the 17-20 range. We’ll then switch to east wind for Tuesday and Wednesday. Beyond that, ensembles don’t really have any clear indication of westerlies in the “enough” range, so we’ll leave it there for now. Have a great day today!
