Gorge Wind Forecast
Not much is happening in terms of wind for the next few days. Gradients for this morning, Sunday, agree: east 0.04 for the west, and west 0.02 for the east. While there are easterlies at 20-25 near Rooster, it’s raining there and will likely continue to for a while. You’ll also find gusty 10-15 near Stevenson and perhaps Viento, but with rain and temps in the low 40’s, why??
Monday brings another round of light easterlies: 10-15 from Rooster to Viento in the morning and 5-10 in the afternoon. At least it will be sunny! Tuesday looks slightly stronger: E 15-20 all day long from Rooster to Viento. It looks like westerlies will return briefly on Thursday night. After that, models disagree on the overall weather picture.

Road and Mountain Biking
We had about .32” of rain in the last 24 hours. Generally speaking, that is too much. With cool temps and no wind, trails will likely remain slick today (with the possible exception of Syncline). Let them be! Logging is finished on the Whoopdee trail. The southern 1/3 of the trail is gone, but you are welcome to go up there and ride and check it out. Ronnoc trail is still open and good to go, as is the climb out. Work parties coming soon.
130,140, Borderline, and the jump trails in the 150 area are closed for timber harvesting. Upper 8 Track is now closed due to logging. Motorized use is now permitted in Post (thanks, rain!), east side and Middle Mountain. If you’re riding Underwood, please do not park at the trailhead as per request by SDS. Continue past the trailhead 0.5 miles or so to the new parking area. The cows are off Hospital Hill, which means your dog can come along.
Upcoming Events
Today’s events start off with the weekly $5 yoga class at Samadhi in White Salmon. Porchfest, a street party with art and music and a bike parade, runs from 10 to 4 on June street in Hood River. With snow falling in the mountains this weekend, it’s time to think about skiing. The Cooper Spur Alpine Team has a fundraiser ’80’s ski party next Saturday evening at the Ruins in Hood River. Pacific Hermitage in White Salmon has a two-day wood-splitting party next weekend, your chance to get in shape for chopping and stacking your own wood.
