SHORT-TERM gorge wind forecast
Hi friends! If you like it windy, you’ll like this week! If not, consider staying indoors. West wind is forecast for at least part of each day from Monday through Thursday and perhaps beyond. Strong to very strong westerlies are possible on both Tuesday and Wednesday with a true nuker possible east of The Dalles on Wednesday. FYI, I’ll be headed out on a two-week silent retreat on Friday. That puts me back forecasting on May 7th. Please do not ask my housesitter to forecast for you – while she is associated with the wind world, she does not forecast wind!
Monday is not starting nuking windy, as you may have noticed. It’s actually dead calm here in Hood River. Easterlies dominate for the morning with Viento and Stevenson rising to 15-20mph for a few hours. A low moves into the desert this afternoon and fires up the westerlies: gusty 20-24mph from Stevenson to Avery with Lyle-Doug’s the windiest spot and the Hatch likely a little lighter at gusty 18-22. After 5pm, the wind drops to 7-12mph west of Mosier and holds at gusty 21-24mph from Lyle to Arlington. River flow over the last 24 hours was 189-242kcfs, river temp is 50.9F, and high temp forecast is 78F under cloudy sky. Atmospheric instability may affect wind quality and quantity today!

LONGER-TERM gorge wind forecast
Looking at Tuesday, we have a low in the desert and a solid cross-Cascade temp gradient in the afternoon: 63 degrees in Hood River and 78 degrees in Pasco. The day starts with 17-20mph from Stevenson to Doug’s and 25-28mph from Avery to Hermiston. Afternoon wind rises to 28-32mph from Lyle to Hermiston and holds at 17-20mph from Stevenson to Mosier. There may be a period of 20-23mph at the Hatch late morning, but there may not! After 5pm, the wind falls to 24-27mph from Lyle eastward and may bump up to 19-22mph from Stevenson to Mosier. Lots of clouds will be present, and you can expect the wind to be gusty and up-and-down.
Wednesday looks big. A cold front swings through with associated elevated wind at W/NW 40-45mph. A low moves inland as well, and a heat low sets up in Montana. The pressure gradient extends all the way from 1030mb offshore to 984mb in Montana. All that said… we’re looking at 20-25mph west of Lyle and 30+ mph to the east with the possibility for full-on nuking conditions mid-afternoon from Avery to Arlington. After 5pm, some rain is possible east of The Dalles. If this happens, wind speeds and quality will drop. High temps: 56F to the west and 60F out east under partly cloudy sky.
Lingering widespread 20-25mph westerlies on Thursday morning fade to 17-20mph and focus on the Hatch in the afternoon. As of this morning, there’s quite a bit of uncertainty from Friday on into the weekend, but the general trend is westerly. Hope to see you on the Nch’i Wana soon!

Good morning, neighbors! Lots of clouds and wind in the forecast this week, and not much in the way of frost chances. A little rain is possible for some of us Tuesday and Wednesday especially out east near the Tri-Cities.
Glenwood this morning
Monday started with a beautiful sunrise over all the blooming wildflowers. Up in Glenwood, it was warm: 43F. In Glenwood, having realized that the Glenwood Store has power over the entire world’s economy, they are opening and closing it randomly and placing bets on this through anonymous crypto-currency-based accounts on shady online-betting sites. Suddenly everyone in Glenwood has become a billionaire! Because they’re good-hearted people, they plan to fully fund schools, pay off all students’ lunch debt (HOW IS LUNCH DEBT EVEN A THING?!?!!? MAKE FOOD AFFORDABLE AGAIN!!) and provide affordable housing for all folks in the Gorge.
Today’s Gorge weather forecast
In Hood River, where only the Port has similar power, early temps were even warmer: 50F. Despite the cloud cover, today’s forecast is for nearly 80F all through the Gorge. Hmm…. not sure I buy that, especially given the presence of instability which is likely to maintain clouds. Anyway… today’s wind (cuz it’s the Gorge, and it’s nearly always windy) – easterlies at 15-20mph between Stevenson and Viento for a few hours this morning followed by westerlies at 20-25mph between Stevenson and Rufus this afternoon and evening.
Tuesday’s Gorge weather forecast
A little rain is forecast west of The Dalles on Tuesday morning. That wraps up by 8am east of Cascade Locks and continues for a couple more hours between Troutdale and Cascade Locks. Temps start the day at 40-50F. In the evening, rain wraps around a low pressure system and drops a downpour on areas east of Hermiston, but not much, if any rain is forecast closer to home. Other Tuesday info: it’ll be cloudy, and temps will rise to the low 60s (west), SIX-SEVEN (The Dalles), and 78 near Hermiston. That’s a BIG temp gradient, and it’ll drive west wind: 20mph west of Lyle and 30mph between Lyle and Hermiston.
Wednesday’s Gorge weather forecast
On Wednesday, a cold front swings through. This starts us off with temps in the mid 40s with upper 30s in Glenwood. Generally speaking, the result of this passing system will be 5-10 degrees less warmth in the afternoon (highs 56-60F) and blasting west wind: 20-25mph west of The Dalles and 30-40mph east of The Dalles.
Extended Gorge weather forecast
Warmer, less windy weather returns on Thursday and continues (probably) into the weekend and beyond. While uncertainty is high for the extended forecast, the weather looks generally mild with very low chances of frost overnight. I’m taking off for a couple weeks on Friday for a silent meditation retreat. Sounds like good weather for both me and you! Safe travels. -TATAS
