It’s fall now, and that means it’s time for … more windsurfing and kiting! No, silly. It’s time to think about skiing. You can get the best Mt. Hood snow forecast right here, all winter long, starting around November 15th. Bookmark this page. Come back for snow! Your forecaster. That’s right. Use my snow forecast.…

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!

Random Morning Thoughts

You can blame McCurdy Farms for the late forecast this morning. That said, they do have delicious pears and apples. You can find this lovely fruit on Tucker Road hill, just south of Portland Drive.

Wind guessings, prognosticatings and musings

Not much changing in wind world: The gradient was E .06 at 9am, and that’ll be enough to give us easterlies at 20-23 at Stevenson and Rooster today. The east wind picks up to 23-26 at Stevenson and 26-30 at Rooster tomorrow, and backs off on Saturday.

Looking ahead to early next week at the coast, there’s a long-period 10′ swell coming in. Not sure yet if it’s going to be windy, but the waves should be spectacular.

Plain old weather

Sunny. Lovely. Very nice for the next week or so.

Mountain biking

Yes, the dirt is perfect. But with the government reopened, Poachtober is over.
