Gorge Wind Forecast

Easterlies continue for Monday, not much happens on Tuesday, and then we move into a progressive, rainy pattern for the rest of the work week. For Monday, easterlies max out at 35-40 at Rooster, 25-30 at Stevenson, and 20-25 at Viento. The wind starts fading late morning and ends up at 10-15 from Rooster to Viento. River flow is 117kcfs, water temp is 54, and air temp high today will be 64. Tuesday brings drizzle and light and variable wind all day.

Wednesday brings a stronger weather system. This one sets up gusty westerlies at 18-23 west of Bonneville dam. You’ll also find a couple hours of 18-23 near Rufus, but it’s probably not worth driving. Looking longer range – gusty westerlies with rain for Thursday and Friday followed by easterlies and colder weather for the weekend.

Coast, Jones, Sauvie’s

Coast (north/central/south, waves. Direction north unless otherwise noted. Swell forecast from NWS.) Nothing worth talking about here today – Southerlies on the coast for the next three days. Nothing for Jones and Sauvie’s.

Hood River Weather Forecast

Cycling

10/28: Motorized use is open on ALL Hood River County Land now. Kreps lands have reopened per their FB page. Do be aware of the possibility of freeze-thaw (muddy) conditions up high. Do not ride those trails, as you will do permanent damage due to liquefied soil structure. Mt. Hood National Forest: some areas have reopened. Expect many downed trees.
