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. Your financial support ensures these essential forecasts remain accessible to all, free of charge.

So please take a moment to click one of the buttons below. Donate $19.99 or more (how much does this forecast enhance your life?) and get the email in your inbox. Or just contribute enough for a cup or pound of coffee. I need coffee! Every contribution, no matter the amount, makes a difference. Help me keep this labor of love alive, so we can all commute safely, play in the river, and shred Mt. Hood with the best weather forecasts possible. Thank you!

Snow levels today will be around 3500’ early, dropping to 1000’ by 4pm. Snowfall will be extremely heavy all day, with approximately 2” total water value, possibly more, for 2 feet or more of new snow. Winds will be WSW 40-50 early, switching to W 35-45 (uh oh) by 10am, and dropping to W 30 by 4pm.

Moderate to heavy snowfall continues tomorrow through 7pm, becoming light overnight, with the snow level around 1000’ early, rising to 5000’, possibly 5500’ by 4pm. Winds tomorrow will be W 20-30 early, rising to SW 30-40 by 1pm and holding through midnight. Total snowfall tomorrow will be .5-.75” water value for 6-8” of new snow with a chance of rain mixed in overnight.

The snow level Wednesday morning will be 5000-5500’, falling to 2000’ by 1pm. We’ll see moderate to heavy snowfall all day mixed with a few lighter snowfall periods. Total accumulation will be 1-1.25” water value for 9-13” of new snow, possibly mixed with a little rain early. Winds Wednesday will be SSW 45-55 early, going to SW 40-50 by 10am, going to WSW 35-40 by 1pm and building to SW 40-45 by 10pm.

Thursday morning sees the snow level drop to 1000’ with moderate snowfall all day for .75-1” water value and 10-14” of new snow. Winds will be WSW 25-30. At this point, it looks like we’ll see another 1” water value on Friday, Saturday and Sunday for a foot of new a day.

Apparently it really isn’t spring yet.

Have an awesome day.
