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!

Plain old weather

The weather, unless you’re a skier hoping for ski season, is going to be lovely this week. The only exception to weather perfection is Wednesday, when a few high clouds will temper the brilliant blue of the sky. Expect cool nights in the 30’s, a chance of morning inversion clouds, a temperature inversion, meaning if you ride your bike above the inversion, you’re going to find beautiful weather in the 60’s.

Mountain biking

Dirt report: the dirt is perfect from High Prairie down to Sawtooth. There are patches of snow and mud on Gunsight Ridge. Boulder Lake is riding great. Post is perfect. Syncline is perfect. There are chanterelles everywhere.

Events n’ stuff – Please email with upcoming events related to the outdoors

Tomorrow night, Tuesday is Ruins Tuesday, with indoor music and… aw fuck it. Anyone know if those safety-conscious people are still charging a $3 cover? Cover-free, but not animal product free, and definitely not fat free, tomorrow night is $12 Prime Rib night at Cebu.

Coming up Thursday, the 44 Trails Association has a party and fundraiser at Double Mountain. Come celebrate the opening of the SuperConnector trail.

I know there must be other stuff coming up this week, but it hasn’t made it on to my calendar yet. You should tell me if there are outdoor-related events I’m missing.

Have an awesome day today!

Temira
