Gorge Wind Forecast
If you like east wind, you’re a happy camper! You could even try an east wind downwinder this week; you’ll have plenty of options to fit it in to your schedule. As an added bonus, the wind will not fade to zero in the afternoon; it may drop about 10mph after 1pm, but you’ll still find plenty of wind for water play time.
For Monday, the easterlies will be in the 30-35 range near Rooster Rock, 25-30 range near Stevenson, and 15-20 near Viento. Morning temps will range from the low 30’s near Hood River to mid-40’s near Stevenson. Ditto those temps most days this week.
Tuesday’s wind looks like 35-40 near Rooster Rock and 20-25 near Cascade Locks and Viento. We’ll also have lighter east wind at 5-10 from Swell to Mosier. Wednesday maxes out at 25-30 near Rooster Rock, 20-25 near Stevenson, and 5-10 from Swell to Mosier. Thursday’s the one question this week. The current forecast is E 5-10 in the morning and W 13-16 in the afternoon. After Thursday, we’re back to east wind through Sunday, giving me the perfect opportunity to forecast every-other day!
BONUS: Jones Monday-Wednesday: nope. Sauvie’s Monday-Wednesday: nope. Coast (north/central/south). Monday: N5/5-10/5, NW swell 3′ at 12 seconds. Tuesday: E5/N5-10/N5, W 3′ @11. Wednesday: epic surfing weather. LTN/LTW/LTW, W 7′ @ 17.
Random Morning Thoughts
Mt. Hood Mountain Weather Forecast
The next several days look quite consistent on Mt. Hood: free air freezing level between 11,000′ and 12,000′ with variable wind to 10mph.
Gorge Weather Forecast
The weather forecast for the next week is clear, cold and sunny in the mornings and warm, sunny and awesome in the afternoon. For Monday, we’ll have temps right at freezing early and in the mid to upper 60’s later. East wind. No rainbows. Tuesday looks a little warmer: temps in the mid 30’s early and upper 60’s in the afternoon. East wind. No rainbows. Wednesday looks identical to Tuesday. Next chance of rain is in the middle of next week; the Euro is predicting that a large low pressure system will swing a cold front with a sub-tropical moisture tap through on Wednesday. Whether that forecast actually pans out remains to be seen.
