SHORT-TERM gorge wind forecast
Hi friends! Another windy day is on tap today thanks to offshore high pressure and a nice onshore temp gradient. High pressure builds inland on Monday and persists on Tuesday. We’re left with light to moderate east wind both of those days. Ma Nature lends a hand to the westerlies on Wednesday with something close-enough to The Cooldown You Were Looking For. Active weather continues through next weekend with westerlies lingering until Friday and then potentially backing off due to cool, showery weather on the weekend.
Sunday started with pressures of 30.34/30.23/30.19 and 1030mb offshore. The metro area was perfectly clear, which puts us at risk for a midday lull at the Hatch. Get on it! Early wind was 20-23mph from Viento to the Hatch with 5-10mph at Stevenson, 10-13mph from Mosier to Rufus, and light/variable wind in the desert. Westerlies fill in at 20-23mph from Stevenson to Mosier this morning with a slower build to 17-20mph between Lyle and Doug’s.
Afternoon sees the Hatch and Hood River drop to 16-19mph. Between Stevenson and Viento, 17-20mph holds. Lyle to Rowena rises to 20-23mph this afternoon, and Avery joins at 14-17mph. Not much wind if any will be found east of Avery. River flow over the last 24 hours was 136-237kcfs (183-232 at Rufus), river temp is 59.9F, and high temp forecast is 73F in Hood River.

LONGER-TERM gorge wind forecast
Westerlies disappear on Monday. We start the day dead calm. Late morning brings easterlies at 15mph at Iwash/Rooster, Stevenson,Viento and Home Valley with easterlies building to 10mph east of Viento into the desert. High temp: 81F and sunny.
Tuesday brings another sunny, warm, east wind day. Morning wind builds to 15-20mph at Rooster/Iwash, Stevenson, Home Valley and Viento. Afternoon wind falls to 10mph most locations and holds at 15mph at Stevenson. East of Viento, we’ll have easterlies at 10-15mph in the morning and 10mph in the afternoon. High temp: 82F in Hood River.
A trough approaches the coast on Wednesday (details are unclear) and nudges the hottest weather east of the Cascades where it belongs. We’re set for mid to upper 20s, likely strongest east of Hood River. Models hint at stronger westerlies next Thursday and Friday as cool weather persists on the west side. Fingers crossed! See you on the Nch’i Wana soon!

Good morning, neighbors! It’s another beautiful, sunny, breezy day here in the Gorge. Yesterday brought our first big fire of the year at Haystack Butte. It reached 1017 acres before forward progress was stopped. It’s in mop-up mode now. If you weren’t being cautious with fire yet, do so now – keep in mind that we had nearly an inch of rain a couple days ago, and a fire still blew up in the wind yesterday! Weather overview for the next few days: pleasant and breezy today; 80ish degrees and east wind on Monday and Tuesday. Cooler with stronger westerlies starting again on Wednesday. Next weekend brings much cooler temps and a chance of rain!
Glenwood and other friends this morning
This morning (it’s Sunday) started off chilly in Glenwood – 32 degrees. Everyone woke up, looked around, and crawled back into bed for another hour. Actually, most people don’t have the luxury of doing that. Only a few people did that. The rest got up to go to work, church, to milk the cows, and to feed the foster squirrels (I set him free yesterday fat and happy, in case you were wondering). Parkdale started today at 35-38F. Our friends around the world in areas being threatened by the USA: Tehran has a forecast of 87F and 10% humidity; Havana – 85 degrees and 77% humidity (MUGGY!); Muscat, Oman – 101 and 28% humidity, which is going to feel REALLY hot and sticky.
Today’s Gorge weather forecast
Here in the Gorge, we have a few clouds to the west side this morning and sun elsewhere. By afternoon, the sky will be almost entirely clear, but it won’t be hot, yay! Expect 70ish in Stevenson, 73 in Hood River, and 77 from The Dalles eastward. West wind will be right around 20mph all day between Stevenson and Mosier. It fills in to The Dalles in the afternoon with 15mph east to Celilo Village. Farther east: light wind.
Monday-Tuesday Gorge weather forecast
High pressure builds inland on Monday leaving us warmer and less windy. A few high clouds taint (I SAID “TAINT”!!!) the blue sky in the afternoon. Temps build to 80-84F, warmest in The Dalles. We’ll have a zero-wind start followed by east wind at 10-15mph all the way from Stevenson east past The Dalles. Tuesday looks a few degrees warmer but otherwise identical to Monday.
Extended Gorge weather forecast
On Wednesday, a cooler weather system approaches the coast and shoves the area of hottest weather into the desert. This returns some clouds, gives us a chance of drizzle on the north side of the Nch’i Wana, and takes temps down to the 78-85F range. Also on tap: strong west wind. Cooler, breezy weather continues into Friday. As of right now, the weekend looks cool with rain possible-to-likely west of The Dalles. How awesome – the weather does something different nearly every single day. No boredom! Safe travels. -TATAS
