Gorge Wind Forecast
Moderate westerlies stick around for a couple more days followed by lesser wind for Tuesday and Wednesday. Looking at the sky this morning (Sunday), we see clouds at various levels and even some lenticulars. That’s not a great sign for wind quality today. Even so, things should stabilize some this afternoon. Morning westerlies will be 10-14 most places. Exceptions: cloudy Stevenson and out-east Arlington. By midday, westerlies pick up to gusty 18-22 from Viento to Avery. Afternoon heating bumps the wind to 22-25 from Viento to Avery with 12-15 near Stevenson and 10-13 or less in the eastern Gorge. River flow is 221kcfs, river temp is 53F, and high temp forecast is 65F. Monday sees high pressure being to rebuild. It pushes far enough inland to decrease the westerlies. The day starts with 11-14 form Viento to The Dalles. Afternoon wind will likely outperform the models; let’s call it 17-20 from Stevenson to Mosier with 7-10 to The Dalles and light and variable wind east of there. High temp: 73F. High pressure really asserts itself on Tuesday. Westerlies drop to 10-13 form Stevenson to Mosier in the morning and drop below 10mph in the afternoon in that stretch. East of Mosier: light and variable. High temp: 79F. Not much happens Wednesday either. The tentative forecast from Thursday on is for stronger westerlies, but models are far from agreeing on the details. Enjoy!
