Monday forecast

Good morning everyone, There isn’t much to report on the wind front for the next couple of days. We’ll see light east wind today as high pressure blankets Oregon and Washington. That high pressure shifts far eastward tomorrow, late in the day, turning the flow onshore again. We’re not going to see strong west winds,…

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.

Good morning everyone,

There isn’t much to report on the wind front for the next couple of days. We’ll see light east wind today as high pressure blankets Oregon and Washington.

That high pressure shifts far eastward tomorrow, late in the day, turning the flow onshore again. We’re not going to see strong west winds, but if we’re lucky, we’ll see 16-19 in the corridor for the after work session.

Thursday looks like light wind again.

There isn’t much going on at the coast either. Light northerlies are the call with a 5 foot swell at 9 seconds. Waves pick up a bit on Wednesday, with a 7 foot swell train headed this way.

With the light wind through the Gorge, we’ll see perfect weather for road biking and mountain biking. Post Canyon was still a little slick yesterday, but I think it’ll be perfect by this afternoon.

Save some space on your calendar on Saturday. There’s a weeding party at the Hood River Waterfront Park and a telemark movie at Dog River in the evening.

Basically, this week is looking like a good week for making pie.

Have a great day today!
