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.

Or just contribute enough for a cup or pound of coffee. I need coffee! Every contribution, no matter the amount, makes a difference.

Gorge Wind Forecast

The clouds are whipping past my window this morning and the trees are dancing in the wind. As a cold front shifts east of the Cascades today and weak high pressure builds off the coast, the wind will pick up and steady out. Expect 12-15 this morning through the entire Gorge. East of the low clouds this afternoon, probably east of Mosier, but that’s a guess, the wind will pick up to 25-29. Under the clouds, you can expect gusty W 21-25. River flow is 328kcfs and river temp is 50 degrees. Forecast high today is 58 degrees.

Monday starts out with light westerlies, 5-10mph or so, under a weak ridge of high pressure. A weak weather system approaches in the afternoon and bumps up the wind. You can expect gusty 18-22 by 2pm, continuing through the evening, from Stevenson to Arlington.

Tuesday starts off with light west wind at 10mph or less. The wind will pick up in the afternoon to 10-13 through the whole Gorge. Wednesday currently looks like light E wind, and Thursday looks light in the morning with moderate westerlies in the afternoon, but that’s a long ways out to be making a prediction!

Random Morning Thoughts

I think I’ll pass on reflecting this morning. You have an awesome day!
 

Disclaimer required by my grad school program: I am not your therapist (but I could be 40 graduate school credits from now). I am your weather forecaster. Take everything I say with a grain of salt, and consult with your actual therapist about your mental health issues. One other thing: I plan to keep doing this forecast indefinitely, even when I am a therapist.
 

Gorge Weather Forecast

It’s mostly cloudy out there this morning as a weather system makes its way east. Don’t worry – we’ll have sun this afternoon. Temps will be in the low 50’s early and the upper 50’s in the afternoon. Strong westerlies by afternoon. 14% chance of rainbows early in the day. Monday looks high overcast with thicker clouds in the afternoon. There’s a slight chance of a few sprinkles late. Temps will be in the low 40’s early and the upper 50’s in the afternoon. Tuesday also looks high overcast with a chance of sprinkles late. Temps will be in the mid 40’s early and the upper 60’s in the afternoon. Wednesday and Thursday are currently forecast to be 80 degrees!

White Sprinter Van of the Day



 

Road and Mountain Biking

We had about .1” rain overnight, which is going to be enough to make Post slick this morning. Give it until the afternoon to dry out. In road biking news, it’s going to get increasingly windy today, so it’s probably not the day to ride something that runs E-W. If you’re planning ahead, Wednesday looks like 80 degrees with light wind.
 

Upcoming Events

Today’s events include the last day of the Overlook Film Festival at Timberline and the last day of the Mountain Film Festival at the Skylight theatre in Hood River. Mt. Hood Meadows hosts the Rams’ Head Randonee race today, the final race of the Wy-East Ski-mo series. The Bear Springs Trap mountain bike race is today at McCubbins Gulch.

There are three free yoga classes today: 9am at Samadhi in White Salmon, 4pm YogaFaith at Pure Yoga in The Dalles, and 6pm at Pure Yoga in Hood River.

Next weekend brings a kids fishing clinic at Mayer State Park on Saturday, and theoretically, if the snow is gone, the Dog River Super D mountain bike race.

Have an awesome day today!

Temira
