Because I was gone yesterday and there’s wind in the forecast, I thought I’d send out a quick update. On Wednesday, a thermal through will shift to the east. A weak, dry frontal system will approach, sending marine clouds as far east as Hood River. Given this setup, we’ll likely start the day with 25-29…
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.

Given this setup, we’ll likely start the day with 25-29 between Bingen and Doug’s, with Rufus possibly windy for Dawn Patrol as well. A few hours later, we should be seeing rangy 26-32 between Mosier and Doug’s. Given the early clouds and approaching frontal system, wind near Hood River and Swell is going to be trickier. I think we’ll have 15-18 to start the day between Stevenson and Hood River. As the clouds burn back after 11am, we’re going to see up-and-down (rangy and gusty) wind at 26-31 between Stevenson and Hood River. The Arlington/Roosevelt area will probably top out in the 22-25 range.
My best guess for tomorrow is that the wind will be strongest and steadiest early in the day. Since Doug’s is always windy, it (and Avery) will likely be the steadiest, longest-lasting wind on Wednesday.
Thursday sees another round of solid marine clouds in Portland, but high pressure will quickly start to build in. This is the scenario where the wind often beats the models. Let’s go with 21-24 early between Viento and Mosier. Models think the wind will die way off in the afternoon, so let’s outforecast them with a slow fade to 16-19 in the afternoon, with the wind persisting in that range between Stevenson and Hood River.
Friday currently looks light westerly early and light easterly in the afternoon. Saturday looks like E 20-25 and Sunday looks like W 20-23.
