Gorge Wind Forecast

Offshore high pressure sticks around for several more days. That keeps the westerlies going. Gradients this sunny Saturday morning are starting at .12 and .06, signaling that you might want to stick around the western Gorge. We’ll see 15-19 in the eastern Gorge to start the day with anything from 5-25 in the western Gorge early. Things level out late morning – expect 22-25 from Stevenson to Avery through the afternoon with eastern Gorge wind falling to 10-13. River flow is 65,500cfs, temp is 61, and high temp forecast today is 62.

Sunday morning looks dry, but light rain moves into the western Gorge late morning and stays into the night. Westerlies start at 11-14 in the west and light and variable east of Mosier. Afternoon: gusty, rainy 10-15 in the west and gusty 19-23 from The Dalles eastward. High temp: 59.

Monday has a marine layer all day in Hood River. Morning wind will be 21-24 near Viento and Mosier, despite the clouds, with 13-16 near Rowena. Afternoon: gusty, spotty 19-23 west of Rowena. 24-28 from Rowena to Arlington.
