today’s gorge wind forecast
Hi friends! My apologies for missing the forecast yesterday. I was attending to a community emergency most of the day. We are about at the time of year when the forecast switches to the evening (theoretically, anyway!), so look out for that. For the next few days, we have east wind here in the Gorge. Next chance of west wind is Thursday or Friday, but it seems unlikely. Likely: good dirt for mountain biking and pleasant weather for road/gravel biking and hiking.
Looking at Tuesday… we started the day with light west wind in the Gorge. That’s going to turn around. Easterlies pick up to 20mph at Stevenson and 15mph at Iwash for a few hours midday. After 1pm, we’ll have light/variable conditions at Iwash (Rooster) Rock and E 15mph at Stevenson. River flow over the last 24 hours was 90-138kcfs, river temp is 54.9F, and high temp forecast is 58F with cloudy sky.

tomorrow’s gorge wind forecast
Wednesday sees a deep low pressure system spin offshore, and that nudges the easterlies up. Expect morning wind at 30mph near Iwash (Rooster) and 20-25mph near Stevenson. Afternoon sees both locations level out at 20-25mph with a chance of a stronger session right before sunset. High temp: 56F and cloudy.
extended Gorge wind forecast
Thursday starts with stronger easterlies and drizzle, but that strong wind will finish up very early, perhaps around sunrise. By 10am, the wind will be down to 15mph at both Stevenson and Iwash. For the afternoon: light/variable wind all through the Gorge. High temp: 54F with drizzle in the morning, a break midday, and drizzle in the afternoon. After saying all that, I realized that there’s a (very) slight chance a low pressure system could move inland on Thursday resulting in stronger west wind. That possibility also exists on Friday. Again: unlikely. Okay, that’s it for today. Have an awesome day!

MT HOOD SNOW FORECAST
Hey skiers and snowboarders! Not much happening for a few days in the Mt Hood snow forecast, so I’ll keep it short. We were looking at a possibility of significant snow this weekend, but models are now suggesting the snow level will be too high – 6000’+ – when the bulk of the precipitation comes through. Models ARE still insisting that we’ll have a switch to cooler, snowy weather starting around the 17th.
Tuesday and Wednesday will be dry on the mountain with high clouds. The free air freezing level (FAF) bounces around 10,000′. Wind: SW 20ish most of the time increasing Wednesday night. A trace of rain is forecast on Thursday with the snow level falling from 10,000′ to 4000′. Wind: S 25-45mph early becoming SW 20-25mph in the afternoon and overnight. A could inches of snow are likely Friday daytime into the evening before a switch back to rain late Friday night. Rain, up to an inch of it, continues on Saturday. That’s all I’m gonna say for now. Patience, my friends! Have a great day!

Good morning, neighbors! I had every intention of getting out a forecast yesterday. Unfortunately, when I rolled out of bed, I had a message that ICE was attempting to kidnap one of my community members at a location very close to my home. You can have a different opinion on immigration than I do, but I hope that you will consider this: unidentified, masked, armed individuals kidnapping people off the streets is not how we do things here in the United States. We here in the Gorge will continue to watch for these thugs daily, and we will continue to work to support ALL members of our community.
Thank you to our veterans!
Another thing: thank you to those who have served our country through military service. I appreciate you and the sacrificies you and your families have made.
Glenwood this morning
Oh yes, you were wondering about the weather. Rather innocuous for the next couple of days: dry with a bit of offshore low, and cloudy thanks to that same offshore low. Goodness – my nervous system is still down-regulating, so I almost forgot Glenwood. It’s 30 degrees Fahrenheit there this morning. All the peeps are knitting bright orange “Abolish ICE” hats. Member of the posse are stewing as they contemplate being out-gunned by ICE; all those folks are considering forming posses to fight for the rights provided in the Constitution of the United States.

Today’s Gorge weather forecast
For the rest of us today: clouds this morning, partly cloudy midday, and mostly clear this afternoon. Temps prior to dawn were running in the mid 30s to mid 40s (STOP OVERACHIEVING, WEST SIDE OF HOOD RIVER) with a few mid-50s (windy locations). Temps max out in the upper 50s until you run in to the east side cool pool, where temps max out in the low 50s.
Wednesday’s Gorge weather forecast
Clouds increase Tuesday night and settle in for a cozy Wednesday morning. Temps will be in the upper 30s to low 40s to start the day. All those clouds mean frost is unlikely. Thanks to a low offshore, east wind will be 25mph or so all day near Iwash (RELEASE THE FILES!) Rock and Stevenson. Up in the hills: south wind. Afternoon brings mid to upper 50s for all under cloudy sky to the west and mostly clear sky to the east.
Thursday’s Gorge weather forecast
Thursday morning starts offs with some drizzle as far east as the Maryhill Bridge, which actually won’t get wet because it knows how to dance between the raindrops. The drizzle backs off midday and returns in the afternoon, but this time it stays west of The Dalles (probably). We'[ll have strong easterlies prior to dawn in the usual spots, and then we’ll have lighter wind the rest of the day. Calm wind is forecast for the afternoon. Looking ahead to next weekend: rain much of Saturday west of Mosier. Sunday: probably less rainy, but still probably not dry. Models currently have the snow level dropping to 4000′ Friday for a little accumulation on the passes, but the snow level rises back to 6000’+ for the rest of the weekend unless something changes. Alrighty. That’s it for today. Safe travels. -TATAS
