GORGE WIND FORECAST
today’s gorge wind forecast
Hi friends! Despite the incoming heat wave today through Tuesday, westerlies will persist. As the heat wave breaks down for the middle of next week, we’ll have several days of strong to nuking west wind. Thinking of coming down to the Gorge? The Gorge wind forecast looks good for your plans!
Let’s take a look at today. It’s Saturday, and dawn greeted the Gorge with pressures of 30.03/29.94/29.93 for gradients of 0.09/0.01. Westerlies at sunrise were in the 17-20 range from Stevenson to Hood River. Strongest wind today will be early in the day and late in the afternoon as heating in the metro area knocks down gradients midday. So: 17-20 Stevenson to Hood River this morning. 14-17 Stevenson to Mosier midday into early afternoon. 16-19 from Stevenson to Mosier late afternoon into the evening. East of Mosier, the wind is likely to stay under 15mph all day today. River flow over the last 24 hours was 168-280kcfs (176-240kcfs at Rufus), river temp is 63.3F, and high temp forecast is 90F for Hood River.

Sunday looks like a hot one, but there should be just enough wind to get some of you in the water. The rest of you will be jumping in the water for relief from the heat! For the early session, we’ll have 14-17 from Viento to Swell with less than 10mph everywhere east of Swell. Morning wind builds briefly to 17-20 from Stevenson to Hood River before dropping back to 14-17 for that stretch in the afternoon. Between Mosier and Doug’s, the wind rises to 17-20 early afternoon and holds into the evening. High temp: 97F!

Monday’s dawn patrol looks a little stronger thanks to lingering desert heat: 20-23 from Viento to Swell with 14-17 from Hood River to Mosier and 5-10 for areas to the east. Afternoon wind builds to 22-25 from Stevenson to Doug’s and 18-21 from Avery to Rufus. Swell may be the exception – it doesn’t like hot days in the metro area and could fall to 16-19 in the afternoon. High temp: 96F for Hood River.
This ridging pattern starts to break down on Tuesday. With some moving parts in the picture, we’re likely to see gusty low to mid 20s. A major pattern shift settles in on Wednesday as high temps drop from the low 90s to the mid/upper 70s. Accompanying this shift will be strong to nuking westerlies. According to the ensembles, the super-strong west wind will persist through Friday with continued west wind of some sort after that. Sounds like next week will be a fun one. See you on the Nch’i Wana!

Good morning, neighbors! It’s a hot one this morning – in Hood River, the day started at 63 degrees, according to HoodRiverWeather. That’s two degrees shy of the record. Sorry, record fans. Maybe Sunday, when the record is 64, or Monday, when it’s 65, or Tuesday, when it’s a mere 61 degrees. While we didn’t break the record high-low today, we might break some record highs this weekend; records are 98 today, 95 Sunday (at risk of falling) and 92 Monday (bye, record). Setting that aside, prepare yourself for a toasty weekend – we are currently under heat advisories or extreme heat watches for the weekend. Those are like umbrellas – they hang over us and keep us dry. Stay hydrated.
Glenwood this morning…
Glenwood: it started off at 48 degrees. Lucky peeps – they’ll be stashing away that cool air and rolling around in it when the thermometer hits 90 later today.
today’s gorge weather forecast
Saturday starts off cool enough to open the doors and windows and let the cool air in. I opened my door, and the indoor cat ran outside. Oops. We’ll see temps climb to 90 (west) and 95 (far east) today. Westerlies provide some relief with 15-20mph between Stevenson and Hood River this morning and as far east as Mosier this afternoon. Sunday looks very similar, but it’ll be 97 (west) and 100 (east). Monday: also hot AF with 96 (west) and 103 (east). This pattern starts to break down on Tuesday, but highs will still be 90ish.
Extended gorge weather forecast, like, when it gets cooler
Thankfully, that’s the end of the heat. On Wednesday, high temps fall to the upper 70s. Traditionally here in the Gorge, crashing high temps are accompanied by super-strong west wind. We shall stick with that tradition: blasting westerlies, 30-40mph, are forecast Wednesday and Thursday as highs just keep falling. By Friday, we’re expecting high temps in the mid 60s. For The Dalles. Wow. That’s chilly – about 6 degrees below normal. Looking way out into the future, we stick with reasonable temps. About 50% of the ensembles hint at the possibility of a little rain around the 17th. That said, rain tends to fade from the models this time of year as models encounter the reality of a warming planet. Safe travels. -TATAS
