today’s gorge wind forecast
Hi friends! Not much going on today, but we have at least a chance of strong-enough westerlies on Monday. Saturday kicks off with light west gradients – 30.03/29.99 – and very light west wind. Expect calm wind midday and light easterlies after 4pm. River flow over the last 24 hours was 91-152kcfs, river temp is 54.7F, and high temp forecast is 59F.

tomorrow’s gorge wind forecast
Sunday brings easterlies with rain in the east wind zone. Expect 25mph early in the morning at both Stevenson and Iwash (Rooster) Rock. The wind drops quickly. After 1pm, we’ll have light westerlies all through the Gorge.
extended Gorge wind forecast
Monday brings a cold front through with high pressure building behind it. This carries the potential for westerlies after the rain finishes up. Ensembles are far from certain about this. While the GFS deterministic insists we’ll see mid 20s east of The Dalles, the ensembles do not. Given the setup, I think our best chance is from Viento to Doug’s. My fingers are crossed. Westerlies are possible again on Tuesday, but they look lesser than on Monday. High pressure builds inland on Wednesday and sets us up (probably) for all-day east wind with dry weather. Okie dokie. That’s as far into the future as I’m guessing. Have an awesome day today!

MT HOOD SNOW FORECAST
Hey skiers and snowboarders. Colder weather, cold enough for snow, arrives on Monday morning, and then the snow level bounces around next week. If I had to hazard a guess, I’d guess that neither Meadows, nor Skibowl, nor Teacup will be open by the end of next week. Yup, it’s the time of year when I start trying to guess opening day!
Saturday will be drizzly on Mt. Hood. The snow level will be around 10,000′ all day. Around 0.1” rain falls during the day with a trace this evening. Wind: W 25 this morning, SW 5-10 this afternoon, and S 10-15 overnight. Sunday will be sunny in the morning and rainy in the afternoon. The snow level starts at 10,000′, falls to 8500′ in the afternoon, and drops to 6000′ overnight. 0.1” rain is forecast in the afternoon. That’s followed by 0.4” overnight. Wind: S 10-15 in the morning, W 15-20 in the afternoon, and SW 15-20 overnight.
On Monday, the snow level drops from 6000′ early in the morning to 3000′ in the afternoon and 2000′ overnight. Most of the moisture will be done before midnight. During the daylight hours, about 0.2” water equivalent is forecast as mixed precip; 5000′ elevation could pick up an inch. Another 0.2” WE falls overnight for a couple more inches. Wind: SW 10-20 in the morning, NW 20-25 in the afternoon, and W 30 after midnight. A few more inches of snow are forecast on Tuesday, and then we return to a few days of dry weather (maybe). Beyond that: lots of uncertainty, but some hint of significantly colder temps combined with snow in the last week of November. Fingers crossed! Hope to see you on the skategroom soon!

Good morning, neighbors! It’s a very November morning in the Gorge, and so far this morning, the roads are clear of ice. Once again, they are wet from some overnight drizzle. Next chance for some real rain is tomorrow, even in south Wasco County, which will get a soaking! Next best chance for rainbows is Monday when rain combines with west wind and sunbreaks to MAKE REFRACTION, REFLECTION, DISPERSON AND ROYGBIV GREAT AGAIN!
Looking around the Gorge this morning, we see warm weather. When I started typing (which feels like hours ago), Hood River was tied for the record high-low of 54 degrees. Glenwood was sitting pretty with 50 degrees, which is warm AF for Glenwood. Everyone there was sitting on the porch sipping black coffee (they are too manly for cream) in banana hammocks (they’re manly enough to wear them with pride). Drizzle was falling west of Hood River, but that will stop by late morning. We end the day partly cloudy to the west and mostly clear to the east with temps in the upper 50s (west and east) to low 60s (The Dalles).
In protest news today, we have “De-ICE The Gorge” from 3-4:30pm at Overlook Memorial Park (2nd and State) in Hood River. Bring signs and flags, wear a costume if that feels right, and bring peaceful intentions and a heart full of care for our vulnerable neighbors. MAKE KINDNESS COOL AGAIN.
On Sunday, moisture wraps around a low moving west into central OR. Rain moves in from the south and then from the west and soaks pretty much all of us, especially folks east of The Dalles, after 1pm or so. Wind: east at 25mph in the usual spots – Stevenson, Iwash (RELEASE THE FILES) Rock – early in the morning with light westerlies late in the day. Temps max out in the mid 50s, and the snow level will be way up high.
Drizzle as far east as Biggs on Monday morning stops for a little while and then returns Monday afternoon. High temps make it to the mid 50s. West wind rises to 15-20mph or so all through the Gorge. Or maybe it doesn’t. Models don’t really agree on the strength. Given the rain and the wind direction, we’ll have rainbows. Everyone east of Cascade Locks is in for a dry day on Tuesday. Dry weather is also likely on Wednesday. That’s enough for now. I’m really tired – I participated in “wrong bedtime” last night. But not tonight! MAKE BEDTIME EIGHT AGAIN! Safe travels. -TATAS
