Gorge Wind Forecast
Hi friends! I forgot to tell you I wasn’t able to do a forecast yesterday, and for that I apologize. I was playing safety boat on my friend Gary’s mission to paddle a pumpkin a world-record distance. Let me tell you – paddling a pumpkin in a 30mph east wind tailwind is a precarious proposition. You can follow his journey if you like – he’s napping this morning but will be back at it soon. As for the wind… not much today is followed by westerlies Monday through Thursday as the weather pattern turns more active. And colder.

But it won’t be cold on Sunday. And it won’t be windy. High pressure over the Pacific Northwest (mostly) shuts down the wind. We’ll see a few hours of easterlies at 15mph or so near Stevenson midday before the wind turns calm in the afternoon all the way from Iwash Rock to Boardman. River flow over the last 24 hours was 72-109kcfs, river temp is 64.40F, and high temp forecast is 77F.
A weak weather system approaching on Monday gives us just the afternoon temp gradient we need. The day starts with very light west wind. By late morning or early afternoon, we’ll have gusty 17-20 from Stevenson to Rufus. Hold out a little longer, and the wind drops to gusty 15-18 from Stevenson to Hood River with gusty 19-22 from Mosier to Arlington. High temp: 72F under increasingly cloudy sky.
Writing the complete forecast takes me 1-2 hours a day. If it saves you time, gas money, or helps you plan your life, please consider contributing.
“Weather” leaves us cloudy all day on Tuesday with another round of westerlies. The day starts light, less than 10mph. The wind slowly builds; by midday, we’ll have 11-14 from Stevenson to Rufus. Afternoon: gusty 17-20 from Stevenson to Arlington. The wind is forecast to fall off dramatically after 5pm west of The Dalles. No promises about that – when the weather is this active, it’s impossible to make precision forecasts several days out. Or sometimes at all!

I’m glad you find it helpful, and I appreciate your kindness in supporting the work I’m doing!
Extended: models have additional weather systems moving through on Wednesday and Thursday. On both those days, offshore high pressure will be stronger than it was on Monday and Tuesday. This should result in stronger wind. You’ll almost certainly be heading east of The Dalles for the best results. For now, let’s call it 27-30ish and see how the next couple of days play out in terms of model changes. Have a great day today!
