Gorge Wind Forecast
Hi friends! It’s Friday morning, and the easterlies are stronger than expected. Maybe it’s the geomagnetic storm? Anyway, we’ll have east wind today and tomorrow followed by light/variable wind on Sunday and a shot at westerlies Monday and Tuesday as we transition to an active weather pattern. Beyond that? Chaos.

Friday will not be very active, weather-wise, but there will be wind! Early pressures were 30.02/30.11/30.12, enough for easterlies at 30-35 to start at Iwash (Rooster) Rock. Stevenson should join at 25ish, and Viento was already 20mph to start the day. As often happens, the wind will fade late morning. By 2pm, you’ll find 20-25 at Iwash, 15-20 at Stevenson, and 10-15 at Viento. The wind loses another 5mph into the evening. River flow over the last 24 hours is 76-109kcfs, river temp is 64.58F, and high temp forecast is 70F.
Lighter easterlies under clear sky are forecast for Saturday. Expect Iwash to start with 15-20 and Stevenson/Home Valley/Viento to start right around 15mph. The wind drops late morning, as per usual, and then it turns to W 10-13 near Stevenson after 2pm. High temp: 74F. If you happen to be below Bonneville, keep an eye out for my friend Gary paddling his pumpkin for the world record!
Writing the complete forecast takes me 1-2 hours a day. If it saves you time, gas money, or helps you plan your life, please consider contributing.
Sunday: not much happening at all. Despite a bit of a marine push into the metro area, the wind won’t do much. As of right now, models have us with light and variable wind in the morning. Afternoon sees the wind turn westerly at 5-10mph from Stevenson to Hood River. High temp: 76F.

Extended: say goodbye to summer. A series of weather systems with soaking rain are planned for next week. Some of these will provide us with just-enough westerlies for some of you to get on the river. As of right now, Monday looks like 17-20 and Tuesday 15-18. Beyond that, there’s just too much uncertainty. Heck, even predicting Monday and Tuesday at this point is pushing it. Don’t make plans yet. Have a wonderful day today!
