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!

Mt. Hood Snow Forecast – 5000′
4a-8a 8a-12p 12p-4p 4p-8p 8p-4a
Saturday
Sunday
Monday

Quick and simple: Today will be sunny with north wind at 20-30. The freezing level will be around 3000’ early, rising to 5500’ in the afternoon.

Tomorrow looks sunny with north wind at 20-30. The freezing level will be around 5500’ all day.

Monday looks sunny with north wind becoming light and variable in the afternoon. The freezing level will be 5500’ early, rising to 9000’ in the afternoon.

Tuesday looks warm and sunny with the freezing level around 9000’ with NW wind at 15-20 all day.

At this point, models don’t suggest any large change in the pattern any time soon, although they’re hinting at the high pressure starting to break down in the middle of next week.

Gorge wind conditions include westerlies today at 17-21 near Hood River. Sunday looks light. Monday brings east wind at 15-18, and Tuesday looks like 21-24. Apparently it is possible to launch from the new kite beach, but take a friend in case you need help escaping the quicksand. =)

In events, there’s not much going on other than Occupy Hood River at Jackson Park and various snow dances taking place in living rooms across the Gorge and great Portland/Vancouver metro area.

Mountain biking conditions are off the charts for this time of year. Syncline is perfect, and Post Canyon from Family Man to the top of 8-Track is in near-perfect shape. Get out and ride!

Have an awesome day today!
