Freeform Forecast 7/20

Hello everyone! I slept in this morning, so the forecast is late. Again. And then I headed down to the coffee shop with my other laptop, the one without the text forecast from the radio. So you get a real forecast today. Good thing it’s not really windy, because this will take a while. It’s…

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!

Hello everyone!

I slept in this morning, so the forecast is late. Again. And then I headed down to the coffee shop with my other laptop, the one without the text forecast from the radio. So you get a real forecast today. Good thing it’s not really windy, because this will take a while.

It’s going to be hot today, and gradients will remain light all day. Even so, I think we’ll see a little thermal wind down in Stevenson in the 17-20 range.

It’ll be hot tomorrow. And hot the next day. And…. well, you get the picture. The good thing is that we’ll have a bit of a thermal gradient to go along with the heat on Tuesday and Wednesday. I think we’ll see 16-19 late tomorrow afternoon in the Corridor and at Stevenson. Wednesday looks a little stronger, probably 22-25 in the Hood River and Stevenson regions.

And that’s about all I’m going to write for today. I’m sitting at Doppio with friends, and it’s hard to talk to them if I’m talking to all of you (except I’m with Ben Dale and Dana Miller, and they’re both on this list.)

Have a great day today!
