Good morning! It’s radio report season again, and that means you’re going to get a forecast on a regular basis now. I know you’re thrilled that you’ll be getting yet more useless junk mail in your inbox on a daily basis. 😉 It is spring, but the snow is still falling on Mt. Hood. Since…
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!

It is spring, but the snow is still falling on Mt. Hood. Since you guys are still skiing, we’ll have snow reports ‘til the powder stops falling. At Meadows, it’s 31 degrees at the base, with light wind. There’s 1” of new snow on the ground with a 135 inch base. Over at Timberline, it’s 29 degrees at the Lodge. They have light wind down low, strong up top with a trace of new snow and a 163 inch base. Skibowl is closed til Wednesday afternoon.
It looks like we’ll be seeing more snow on the mountain all week. At this point, I’m not seeing any powder dumps in the near future, but at least we’ll have new snow, rather than sticky slush, on the slopes this week.
I know some of you have already been out on the water windsurfing or kiting. It’s 47 degrees in the river, which isn’t bad if you’re covered in neoprene, and it doesn’t take that warm a day to hit 100 degrees total. Of course, if you use my formula, and add wind speed into the equation, you can hit 100 or more all winter long.
Today won’t be windy enough to sail, but you might get a chance tomorrow in the desert after a low pressure trough moves east. Morning winds will be in the 17-21 range, followed by 23-27 in the afternoon. If we get really lucky, the afternoon winds might get a little stronger than that, but given the lack of atmospheric dynamics, I don’t see much more than mid-twenties.
Boaters, the Hood’s at 4 feet even, the White Salmon’s at 4.1 feet, and the Little White’s at 750 cfs.
