Monday 11/7 Forecast

Enter “Temira” as your referral code Well, it’s Monday again, and we’re all suffering time lag from switching our clocks to standard time this weekend. The standard we’re striving for, apparently, is complete darkness after work. All I have to say about that is, “Yuck!” The snow forecast for the next few days isn’t very…

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!

Well, it’s Monday again, and we’re all suffering time lag from switching our clocks to standard time this weekend. The standard we’re striving for, apparently, is complete darkness after work. All I have to say about that is, “Yuck!”

The snow forecast for the next few days isn’t very promising, as an upper low stays close enough to send clouds over western WA/OR, but far enough away to keep the precipitation from falling on Mt. Hood. The mountain sees the snow level around 2500’ today, with WSW wind at 10-15mph. We might see a light band of snow move through overnight, between 10pm and 2am, for less than 1” of new snow.

Tomorrow starts off with the snow level / free air freezing level around 2000’, rising to 5500’ by the afternoon in southerly flow caused by the offshore low. The wind will be light east early, going to S 10-20 in the afternoon. No new snow.

Wednesday sees a slight chance for snow mixed with rain between 4am and 10am with the snow level at 6000’ and the free air freezing level rising to 7500’ in the afternoon. Next chance for significant snow will be next weekend. Chance of Meadows/Skibowl opening in the next two weeks? Less than 10%.

In Gorge wind news, we’ll see light west wind today, light east wind tomorrow, and easterlies in the 21-24 range on Wednesday.

There’s not much to talk about in upcoming events in the Gorge, so just get out and enjoy the dry weather!
