8/3 Forecast

This week’s forecast is brought to you by food. Specifically, Henni’s food. Henni’s Bar and Grill in White Salmon will feed you well, with everyday food from around the world concocted with passion and the finest locally-sourced ingredients. If your mama was from Mexico, she’d make you tacos. If she was from India, she’d make you curry. If she was from the USA, she’d make you killer mac n’ cheese. If Christiaan was your mama, he’d make you all of the above, better than your mom could make it.. Henni’s is open for lunch and dinner Monday-Friday and for dinner only on Saturday, with small plates from $4-9 and big plates from $14-18 and a killer happy hour. We’re giving away gift certificates this week, and then we’ve got a treasure hunt for you all next month. Stay tuned! I think Christiaan is rad, and I think his food is delicious, so cross the bridge (unless you’re in WA already), and go check out Henni’s.

Now, your forecast:

We have a light start to the wind this morning with less clouds in Portland and south flow overhead. By afternoon, the wind should pick up to 15-18 from Stevenson to Mosier, with a chance of clouds from the south flow.

Tomorrow starts with 15-18 near Hood River, and then as the low pressure system tries to push onshore, the wind picks up to 22-24 at Stevenson and east of Hood River, filling in all the way to Arlington.

We’ll finally see a static weather setup on Friday, which generally brings steadier wind. We’ll have 20-23 first thing in the morning at the Hatchery, filling in to 23-27 all the way from Stevenson to Doug’s in the afternoon. At this point, it’s looking like west wind will blow this weekend too, with low teens on Saturday and upper teens to low twenties on Sunday.

If you’re looking for stuff to do tonight, there’s the Kayak Shed’s paddle meeting at 5:30 at Husum, there are sailboat races from the Hood River Marina, and there’s the girls-only Post and Pinot ride leaving Dirty Fingers Bike Repair at 5:30. Tomorrow’s the co-ed Post and Pint ride and the last standup paddle race of the bump and glide series, and Friday is First Friday in Hood River.

If you’re waiting for the weekend, there’s the Double Damned sailboat race, the Oakridge Super D, the Dirty Fingers Campout, and at Jackson Park on Saturday night, the movie Second Chances on the big screen, brought to you by Hood River Community Ed.

Have an awesome day today!

Now, your forecast:

In the good news department, there are more marine clouds, more gradient, and more wind than the models predicted last night. The gradient is at .12 at 7:45am, and that’s enough for 20 or so at the Hatch already. There is a system expected to push in today, and when that happens, we usually see the big die-off in the Corridor. So, if you want the strongest wind, get it at the Hatch (23-26) this morning before the action shifts to Stevenson. When that happens, we’ll still have gusty upper teens to low twenties near Hood River and out as far east as Maryhill.

Low pressure holds off the coast tomorrow for a pretty light day through the Gorge. We’ll see light wind in the morning, 13-15 midday and 17-19 in the afternoon, with the strongest wind from Stevenson to Hood River.

Coming up on Thursday, high pressure finally starts building in the Pacific, setting up a more classic day on the water. We’ll see 17-20 in the morning with 22-24 in the afternoon with the strongest wind near Hood River in the morning and at Rowena and Doug’s in the afternoon.

Coming up towards the end of the week, it’s First Friday in Hood River, there’s a standup paddle race this weekend, the Double Damned sailboat race takes place on Saturday, and there’s that Dirty Fingers Bike Repair campout at the Oakridge Super D on Saturday, Sunday and Monday.

Finally, the rivers continue to drop. The White Salmon is at 3 feet, still too high for the raft companies to run Husum Falls, and still too high for the Cave Wave, but a very fun level for running the BZ to Husum section. The Klickitat is still at a fun level, and way high for this late in the season, at 1570 cfs.
