GORGE WIND FORECAST
today’s gorge wind forecast
Hi friends! Once again, it was great playing in the Nch’i Wana with you yesterday. Hopefully all of you had a great day with awesome swell rides! You’ll have another shot at it today as the Gorge wind forecast looks decent, and then two rest days, or at least rest days from wind sports. Go ride your road/gravel bike and see all the flowers! Plan to be back on the river for Wednesday for another big day. As of right now, ensembles are looking westerly again starting next Sunday, but there’s still a lot of range in the possible wind strength.
Sunday’s opening play was pressures of 30.23/30.13/30.09 with offshore high pressure at 1027mb. While there’s wind out in the desert this morning, it will fade this afternoon. If you’re not out there already, plan to stay close to home. Dawn Patrol wind was averaging 13-16mph most places with Stevenson and Arlington at 10mph or less. Models keep the wind at 13-16ish for a few hours this morning before nudging it up midday. We’ll see 19-21 from Stevenson to Doug’s for the early afternoon period with 21-24 likely between Lyle and Doug’s from mid-afternoon on. Avery may see 14-17 this afternoon, and areas to the east will drop below 10mph. Offshore high pressure is just strong enough that we could see reality outperform the models by 2-4mph from late morning on. River flow over the last 24 hours was 154-213kcfs (180-217kcfs at Rufus), river temp is 54.0F, and high temp forecast is 65F with sunny sky all day long.
tomorrow’s gorge wind forecast
Monday looks like a gorgeous day, but it won’t be windy. We’ll have light east wind at 10mph or less all day long. High temp: 75F and sunny. Tuesday doesn’t look much windier: light easterlies to start, 15mph midday at Stevenson and Iwash (Rooster) Rock, and 10mph in the evening.
extended Gorge wind forecast
Let’s move on to Wednesday. Models continue to trend stronger as they take into account an incoming cold front from the NW, offshore high pressure at 1024mb, and a significant cross-Cascade thermal gradient. As of right now, we’re looking at 17-20mph to start the day and 30mph to finish it. Details will become more clear as we get closer to the action, but I think it’s fine to take the risk of rearranging your schedule if you have the capacity to do so. After Wednesday, models contain more range, but they suggest we’ll see westerlies return the following Sunday and stick around for a while. That’s enough prognosticating for now. Y’all have a fantastic day on the river today!

THE DALLES, HOOD RIVER, WHITE SALMON, TROUT LAKE, STEVENSON, CASCADE LOCKS, PARKDALE, ODELL, HUSUM, BZ, MILL A, WILLARD, GOLDENDALE, RUFUS, ARLINGTON, boardman
Good morning, neighbors! Climate Change Spring continues its death grip on the Pacific Northwest with no rain in sight for at least 10 days and temps running 5-10 degrees above normal every day. Remember when it used to rain well into June? Remember Juneuary? Well, let’s make the most of this beautiful sunny weather, shall we?
Glenwood!!!
But first, let’s check in with Glenwood and other chilly spots. As expected, Glenwood is well below freezing this morning – 25 degrees. Parkdale is running anywhere from 31 to 38 degrees. It must be windy in The Dalles and Mosier, because nobody in those locations is anywhere near freezing. Next chance for frost: tonight as clear sky and light wind combine with very dry (but somewhat warmer) air for a better chance of widespread cold temps. Glenwood, Parkdale, Snowden, and cold spots in The Dalles and Mosier will want to watch temps closely. Odell – right on the edge, but probably okay. You can always check Erik Moldstad’s Fruit Frost Forecast (say that ten times fast) for more detailed info.
sunday’s gorge weather forecast
Okay. Sunday’s weather: gorgeous. Sunshine all day with temps rising to the mid 60s in the west and upper 60s to the east. Westerlies start at 15mph or so all the way from Viento to Rufus. East of Avery, the wind drops below 10mph this afternoon. West of Avery: 15-20mph this afternoon.
monday’s gorge weather forecast
As I said before, clear sky and calm wind overnight sets us up for a chilly Monday morning. Widespread upper 30s are in the cards with frost likely in the coldest spots. By afternoon, we’ll have temps in the mid 70s with light east wind. In the hills, easterlies pick up to 10-15mph.
Tuesday’s gorge weather forecast
Tuesday also looks warm. Add in a few high clouds. If models are spot-on, those high clouds will be in just the right spot early in the morning for a spectacular sunrise west of Mosier. With warmer temps aloft and widespread east wind stirring the pot early, daybreak temps should be in the 40s. Afternoon: right around 80 all through the land with easterlies at 15mph west of Hood River and 10-20mph in the hills. Spraying? Those easterlies will kick in early, so make your move early. High clouds increase in the afternoon west of The Dalles. If there’s a hole right where the sun goes down, we’ll have a darn fine sunset. I did NOT say “if there’s a hole where the sun doesn’t shine”, so get your mind out of the buttocks and the butt crack. Unless you like it there. In which case… be my guest… No, not in MY butt crack. That’s reserved already.
wednesday’s gorge weather forecast… and beyond
Wednesday looks warm (80) and partly cloudy with strong (30mph) west wind. Beyond that: continued dry, warm weather. It’s the kind of weather that doesn’t lend itself to dirty comments because it’s just too perfect. The next chance of rain isn’t until next Sunday, and even then, only about 50% of the ensemble members like the idea of precipitation. In the extended zone, models generally keep 850mb (5000′) temps well above freezing for the next 10-15 days (exception: next Wednesday night), meaning frost chances are minimal after Monday.
