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!

There’s some gradient out there already, and the wind is in the 17-20 range through the whole Gorge. We’ll see gusty 23-26 in the eastern Gorge this afteroon. Tomorrow looks pretty similar, with a light start to the day. As another weather system approaches late in the day, west wind picks up to 15-18.

Monday looks rainy, and that’s usually not very good for wind. The models are showing light wind all day Monday, and then on Tuesday, models are predicting another round of rain for much of the day.

It’s Ocktoberfest weekend everywhere, and that means it’s Hops Fest in Hood River today. If that’s your kind of recreational activity, head to the parking lot across from Full Sail from noon ‘til 9pm today to try out dozens of beers. While you’re there, make sure to stop by the Mt. Hood Meadows booth and say hello to your local ski area’s reps, not including me, because I’ll be out riding my bike or hunting mushrooms or something.

Also today, it’s the Gorge Green Living Tour of eco-friendly homes in Hood River and Mosier. The tour is a fundraiser for Columbia Gorge Earth Center. You can get your guidebook at: The Rebuild-it Center, Sustain Eco-Interior, and Green Home Construction.

Coming up tomorrow, we’re going to see partly sunny day, so the biking should be great, and if that’s not your style, there’s touch rugby in Mosier at 4 in the afternoon.

Finally, there’s a contest going on to name Hood River’s sandbar. Head to HoodRiverNews.com for more information.

Have an awesome day today!
