Gorge Wind Forecast
Monday’s wind is subject to some model disagreement as low pressure sits over us and a rainy weather system moves through. Expect light and variable wind for the first half of Monday with a chance of 10-13 in the afternoon from Stevenson to Hood River. That wind, if it materializes, will be accompanied by rain. Tuesday sees the low pressure shift east as a cold front moves through in the morning. The days starts with 12-15 from Stevenson to Arlington. In the afternoon, the wind will pick up to 23-27 from Stevenson to Rufus with 18-22 from Stevenson to Mosier after 2pm. It appears that the far east Gorge will be quite rainy on Tuesday, and thus not windy, so don’t drive too far!
Wednesday starts out with lingering westerlies at 5-10. models disagree on Wednesday afternoon with the GFS calling for calm conditions and the Euro liking east wind at 10-15. The general picture for the rest of the week is west wind at 10-15ish through Friday and stronger east wind on Saturday and Sunday.

Road and Mountain Biking
Judging by the Strava from yesterday, Post is good. There was also an Ocho Grande, so Syncline and Hospital (which I tested) are also good. We do expect rain today, so you’ll want to get it as early as possible. If that’s not an option, start planning for Wednesday through the weekend when we’ll have a brown pow festival on all the trails.
