Gorge Wind Forecast
Hi friends! Not much going on out there for the next few days as classic fall weather takes over. Westerlies will push into the almost-enough zone this afternoon (Sunday). On Monday: not much. Tuesday: maybe a bit more as a weather system approaches. Wednesday might be just enough out in the eastern Gorge, where the sensors read higher (and remember, I predict to the sensors). Beyond that, I’ll let the extended forecast speak to us.

Sunday starts with pressures of 30.14/30.18/30.18 for light offshore gradients to start the day. When I started the forecast, Viento was reading 19mph on the iWind/iKite sensors, and Iwash (Rooster) was reading 14mph. Stevenson may fill in at 12-15mph for a couple hours this morning too. It won’t last. The wind switches this afternoon as a weak onshore thermal gradient develops. Let’s call it 12-15 from Stevenson to Hood River from early afternoon on into the evening. River flow over the last 24 hours was 65-97kcfs, river temp is 64.94F, and high temp forecast is 75F.
We’ll have a beautiful fall day on Monday and almost no wind at all. The day starts out light, switches to E 10 or so at the usual east wind spots, and turns around to light westerly, 10mph or less, in the afternoon. High temp: 79F under sunny sky. What a beautiful day to hang out and look at pumpkins. Like my pumpkin that went to Bauman’s Farm yesterday! Everyone who has access to land, time, and irrigation water should grow a giant pumpkin, because giant pumpkins make people smile. So says TATAS.
Writing the complete forecast takes me 1-2 hours a day. If it saves you time, gas money, or helps you plan your life, please consider contributing.
A weather system offshore on Tuesday helps keep the west side cooler than the east side. This gives us westerlies, but with a weak low offshore, they won’t be super strong. Tuesday starts with 11-14 from Stevenson to Hood River. It slowly builds to 17-20 from Stevenson to Doug’s in the afternoon. High temp: 72F under increasing high clouds as the day goes on.

Extended: a weather system moves through on Wednesday and drives clouds and drizzle as far east as Rowena or perhaps The Dalles. There should be some wind in the Corridor before the weather system actually hits, but that may be prior to dawn. The focus then shifts east of The Dalles where you may find low to mid 20’s. That may or may not be enough… those sensors do read high, but I predict to the sensor readings for consistency. As of this morning, Thursday looks like an easterly day, maybe 20mph or so. Beyond that, the weather turns more active, but there really isn’t much indication of wind through the weekend. Enjoy the beautiful day today!
