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.

So please take a moment to click one of the buttons below. Donate $19.99 or more (how much does this forecast enhance your life?) and get the email in your inbox. Or just contribute enough for a cup or pound of coffee. I need coffee! Every contribution, no matter the amount, makes a difference. Help me keep this labor of love alive, so we can all commute safely, play in the river, and shred Mt. Hood with the best weather forecasts possible. Thank you!

Mt. Hood Weather Forecast


It’s Sunday morning, and the next few days look sunny and cold on Mt. Hood. Next chance of snow arrives on Wednesday, but there’s zero agreement between the models on whether it will snow or remain dry. Fortunately, it’s cold, so the snow will stay in good shape!

For Sunday: clear and cold. Free air freezing level (FAF): 0′. Temps will be in the single digits to low teens. Wind will be SE 15 early, SE 10 in the afternoon, and light and variable overnight. Monday looks clear. FAF: 0′. Temps: low double digits. Wind: light and variable early becoming SW 10 in the afternoon.

Temps start to warm on Tuesday. The sky will remain clear, and the FAF will remain at 0′. Temps will be in the teen early and low 20’s later. ?Wind: SW 5-10 early, 10-15 afternoon and evening. Models disagree on Wednesday. The GFS keeps precipitation too far south. The Euro ensembles are 50/50 for snow or dry weather. Guess we’ll have to wait and see. Meanwhile, enjoy the packed powder!
 

Gorge Wind


Sunday wind: 30-35 all day near Rooster Rock with 25-30 near Stevenson and 20-25 near Viento. River flow: 95,800cfs. Temp: 35 degrees. Monday looks like 40-45 near Rooster and 30-35 near Stevenson in the morning. Afternoon wind: 30-35 both places. Tuesday starts with 35-40 near Rooster Rock and backs off to 25-30 in the afternoon. The metro area will be windy all three days. Easterlies back off on Wednesday afternoon.

Road and Mountain Biking

Silly rabbit… it’s not biking season in the Gorge. It’s XC skiing and BC skiing season! And Gorge Backcountry skiing. Remember, avalanche hazard does exist in the Gorge too. Be safe, and be wise in your decision making. Dig pits. Avoid wind-loaded steep slopes.
