We’re heading into a few days of light wind weather, so if you’ve been waiting for the breeze to shut off, get ready. Today’s the last day of west wind, and that’s lucky, because the windsurfing and standup blowouts are this weekend. I talked to Scotia Bauer last night, and she says the races are…
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!

We’re heading into a few days of light wind weather, so if you’ve been waiting for the breeze to shut off, get ready. Today’s the last day of west wind, and that’s lucky, because the windsurfing and standup blowouts are this weekend. I talked to Scotia Bauer last night, and she says the races are on for today. If you want to race, head to Bob’s Beach in Stevenson. Registration starts at 8:30, and you need to be there even if you’re doing the SUP race from Viento.
The Clymb: free membership. Access to super cheap gear including Trew, Zeal, Sierra Designs, and many more.
It looks like we’ll see westerlies in the 5-10 range this morning from Stevenson to Mosier, picking up to 13-15 midday, and holding through the evening. The wind will be light east of Rowena.
Coming up tomorrow, we’ll see high pressure building over the Cascades, giving us light west wind, at best 10-15mph, but more likely 5-10 or nothing at all. On Monday, a low pressure system sets up off the coast, and the wind switches to light easterlies.
If you’re looking for biking today, the 44 road trails are in great shape. Knebal, 8mile and Bottle Prarie are open. Surveyor’s has about 25 trees down on section out of the Dog River trailhead, and Fifteenmile is covered in downed trees. High Prarie is still covered in snow. And finally in biking news, the Post Canyon work party for today has been cancelled.
In river news, the White Salmon has dropped to 4.1 feet, the Hood is at 4.4 feet, and the Klickitat is at a very fun 2750 cfs.
Have an awesome day today!
Temira
