Thereโ€™s โ€œTemiraโ€™s Awesome Travel Advisory Serviceโ€ and โ€œValuable Advice for Gardeners Inhabiting Neighboring Areasโ€ – 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.

Temiraโ€™s relentless efforts keep the forecasts flowing. But it ainโ€™t easy: each forecast takes a couple of hours. Thatโ€™s where you come in.

MT HOOD SNOW FORECAST

Hey skiers and snowboarders! We might be done with snowfall for a while, but we’re set up for a spectacular day of riding today. Meadows is making noise about opening Cascade. Teacup has a massive race, so go elsewhere if you want to Nordic ski. Skibowl is finally open, yay! Timberline โ€“ they’re open too, but not much info in the report.

Weather-wise, we’re expecting dry weather all week and potentially all the way until the 20th of this month. Temps are going to get mighty warm โ€“ the riding causing this warm/dry weather is 99th percentile โ€“ wow!

Good morning, neighbors! I gotta keep it quick this morning, so maybe I’ll go with really quick…. Generally speaking, the weather will be dry and somewhat inverted (warmer aloft than below) for the next 7-10 days. Black ice will be likely many places until the roads dry out, and we may also see some freezing fog on the days the Nothing cloud forms.

Lowland high temps will be in the upper 40s this weekend and will rise into the mid 50s this week. Wow. Records are (mostly) right around 60F. During the period between today and Tuesday, we won’t have much wind โ€“ easterlies max out at 20mph in the usual spots: Iwash (not a rooster) Rock and Stevenson. Okay. That give you a picture for the next several days.

Before I forget… Glenwood was 25F this morning, and as of 6:30, the roads appeared clear of ยกCE but were most definitely affected by black ice in some areas. Be careful out there! Safe travels. -TATAS
