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.

About 0.5” water value (WV) falls during the day, for 5” of new snow. Another 0.2” falls overnight, for 2-3” of powdery goodness. Wind will be W 20 in the morning, WNW 25 in the afternoon, and NNW 10 overnight.

Sunday looks partly cloudy to mostly cloudy with on and off flurries all day. Clear sky arrives overnight. Snow level: 0′. Precip: trace. Wind: NNW 10 early, N 10 later, and N 20 overnight.

Gorge Wind


East wind at 5-15 on Saturday morning fades during the day and goes to light westerly for a couple hours overnight. By sunrise, Sunday, the wind will be back to E 10-15 from Stevenson to The Dalles as cold air pours in from the east. Monday sees easterlies at 30-35 all day near Rooster Rock and Cascade Locks. Tuesday starts with E 20-25 and turns to light westerly as a very strong offshore high pressure system turns the wind onshore.

Road and Mountain Biking

Silly rabbit… it’s not biking season in the Gorge. It’s XC skiing and BC skiing season! Wax those skis with some red and get out and play in the snow!
 

Upcoming Events

The cupid Shuffle fun run is this morning at Shortt Supply at 9:30am. 3 mile run. Wear green if you’re single, red if you’re taken, and yellow for “it’s complicated.” There’s a by-donation yoga class at 10:30 at Pure Yoga in Hood River and The Dalles, and there’s (in theory, but probably not) a free bootcamp workout at 10am at Sorosis Park in The Dalles.
