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.

Due to the extreme risk of fire, fire danger, lack of resources to fight additional fires and in the interest of public safety; the County Forest Manager recommended the closure of all Hood River County Forestland, Forest Roads, and Forest Trails to all recreational use until further notice. The Hood River County Board of Commissioners approved the recommendation on Tuesday, September 5th, 2017, just after 6:00 pm.

Landowners with private holdings will be issued permits by the Forest Manager.

Some areas will be a passive closure and gate closures will be optional. However, temporary road closure signage will be placed in areas that may have an imminent threat of fire spread from area fires including roads: Post Canyon, Riordan Hill, Binns Hill, Kingsley, Lovers Lane, Deadpoint and Greenpoint.

No use county trails will be allowed by foot, bicycle, or any other means.

Notices will begin to be posted on Wednesday, September 6th, 2017, and the areas will be patrolled.
