November 1st Forecast

What a beautiful day! Mt. Adams, with all the recent snow, looks rock free from my window. I’m sure there are plenty of rocks under there, but both my skis and I are itching to make some turns. If you’re looking for something fun to do today, you don’t have to look far. We have…

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.

If you’re looking for something fun to do today, you don’t have to look far. We have light west gradients with high pressure building in. Models don’t handle this well; they usually say winds will turn east before afternoon, and the westerlies usually hold until the end of the day. So, with a .05 gradient at 8am, I’ll go with low teen westerlies for much of today.

By tomorrow, we’ll see easterlies in the 17-20 range at Stevenson. East winds pick up a little on Tuesday, hitting the 20-24 range.

More importantly, blue skies rule the region today and tomorrow (and possibly Tuesday, but I think we’ll see some high clouds then). Road biking, mountain biking, running, hiking… you really can’t go wrong with any of those in the sun.

Speaking of mountain biking, the back side of HH is pretty sloppy right now. If you can wait until tomorrow to ride it, that would be lovely. Syncline is perfect. I’m going to assume that Post is wet, and you should stay away til Tuesday. If you have any information about the 44 road trails, or any others, please let me know.

Have an awesome day today – enjoy the sunshine!
