Good morning – just a quick note here. The UW weather model website that I rely on for this forecast is down this morning. Given the fact that I have a full day of work ahead of me, I don’t have time to use backup models. General picture: gusty westerlies in the upper teens to low twenties. Rain starting up tomorrow evening. See yesterday’s forecast for other details, and have an awesome day. =)

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 Temiraโs guidance, you can plan ahead, time your sessions perfectly, and just plain have more fun! But the story doesn’t end there.
Thereโs โTemiraโs Awesome Travel Advisory Serviceโ and โValuable Advice for Gardeners Inhabiting Neighboring Areasโ – 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.
Temiraโs relentless efforts keep the forecasts flowing. But it ainโt easy: each forecast takes a couple of hours. Thatโs 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.
