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!

Good morning,

It’s a lovely morning out there with some little fluffy clouds in the sky and clearing on the way today. The setup looks pretty good on the radar, and the desert will get a jump on the heating today, but larger weather features will conspire to keep the windspeed down. A big low pressure system rotates off the coast and a cold front approaches this afternoon. So, I think we’ll see low teens during the day today slowly tapering down to 10 or so early afternoon, then picking up to 17-21 late in the day from Stevenson to Rowena, and then at Arlington very late.

It’s going to rain tomorrow. It’s going to rain hard. It’s going to rain .75-.1” or so, with 1-1.5” in the mountains. Sure you could go windsurfing or kiting, but you’re going to have wet and gusty 14-17. In addition, it’s going to be chilly. The snow level will be 6000’ during the day Wednesday, dropping to 3000’ by Thursday morning.

The wind on Thursday morning looks like, picking up late in the day. It looks rainy and wet, at least in the western Gorge, with the snow level remaining below 5000’ on Thursday and Friday. Friday might be a nice day for skinning and skiing.

Remember your events: Kayak Shed shop paddle tomorrow, sailboat racing tomorrow, Post and Pint Super D shuttle on Thursday.

A heads up: There will be a lot of downhillers riding the Super D on Friday and Saturday (the race is Sunday), so you may want to ride elsewhere. Ellsworth demos are Thursday and Friday. If you want to do something fun this weekend, I 100% recommend rafting, because we’re going to get a ton of rain and snowmelt the next few days, and the rivers will be way up.
