today’s gorge wind forecast
Hi friends! A wet morning here in the Gorge gives way to a breezy afternoon. Not much happens on Sunday. Easterlies return to the Gorge wind forecast Monday through Wednesday. Looking at Saturday morning, we’re starting with offshore gradients. Models say the wind will turn westerly after noon as a front swings through.
Models give us gusty 22-25mph from Stevenson to Viento with a chance of Swell to start the west wind period. It’s likely showers will stick around west of Moiser until 5pm, which will make conditions particularly up-and-down. Between Hood River and Doug’s: light wind. Out east: a slower build to gusty 25-28 from Avery to Arlington and 22-25mph at Threemile. The Hood River-Doug’s zone eventually climbs to gusty 17-20mph late in the day as westerlies scour out the low-level cool air. River flow over the last 24 hours was 89-131kcfs, river temp is 57.2F, and high temp forecast is 60F for Hood River and 65F out east.

tomorrow’s gorge wind forecast
Sunday starts with lingering westerlies at 10-13mph all through the Gorge. The wind turns calm midday and stays that way. High temp: 57F under partly cloudy sky.
extended Gorge wind forecast
Monday brings the easterlies back. Peak wind will be in the morning with 30mph at Iwash (Rooster) Rock and 25mph at Stevenson. The wind drops to 15mph in the afternoon. High temp: 53F with cloudy sky. Tuesday brings another round of 30mph easterlies. Ditto on Wednesday. Next chance of west wind looks to be next Thursday or Friday, but the details of the associated weather systems aren’t yet clear. We’ll leave it there for now. Stay dry today… or get wet in the river. See you on the Nch’i Wana.

BARE BONES HOOD RIVER WEATHER FORECAST
Not much happening on Mt. Hood today other than a downpour! It’s Saturday, and the snow level is starting around 12,000′. It falls to 5500′ this evening and 4000′ overnight, but most of the moisture will be done before cooler air arrives. Expect a couple inches of rain today and an inch of snow tonight. Wind: SW 35-55 this morning, W 35 this afternoon, and WSW 20-25 after midnight.
A trace of snow is forecast Sunday morning before the sky clears. The snow level will be 4000′ in the morning, 4500′ in the afternoon, and 6500′ after midnight. Wind: WSW 20-25 in the morning, E 10 in the afternoon, and E 30 overnight. Monday looks mostly sunny with the freezing level around 6000′. East wind at 30mph in the morning drops to light/variable overnight. Looking deeper into the future, we have very active weather planned all next week. Periods of heavy rain are forecast along with potentially some periods of snow; models are giving mixed forecasts for now, so I’ll wait until we have more clarity to predict anything. Fingers crossed for more snow!

THE DALLES, HOOD RIVER, WHITE SALMON, TROUT LAKE, STEVENSON, CASCADE LOCKS, PARKDALE, ODELL, HUSUM, BZ, MILL A, WILLARD, GOLDENDALE, RUFUS, ARLINGTON, boardman
Good morning, neighbors! Here in Hood River, it’s a wet start this morning. Those of you to the east of The Dalles, many of you anyway, will stay dry. Mostly dry weather is forecast from this evening on through Tuesday evening, when we tumble into an extended period of wet, active weather, perfect for FINALLY getting all those indoor tasks done!
Glenwood this morning
Glancing around the region this morning, our focus lands on Glenwood, where it’s cool – 43 degrees – and wet. Everyone there is reading their appliance manuals this morning to prepare for the time switch tonight. Nobody wants to wake up with cold coffee or no coffee, so folks are spending particular care reading the instructions for the Rube Goldberg French press. Me, I just need to get to the store and get some heavy cream. Black coffee two days in a row. Sheesh.
Before we dive into the weather, let’s celebrate a judge telling the administration to fuck off and pay SNAP benefits out of the already-appropriated funds in the emergency account. Like really, what could be more of an emergency than 42,000,000 people at risk of going hungry?
Today’s Gorge weather forecast
Today’s weather: great for grocery shopping. Rain, heavy at times, and definitely heavy and travel-impacting west of Hood River, continues into late afternoon. It does appear that south Wasco and areas east of The Dalles will be mostly rain shadowed. On the WA side, the rain might make it as far east as Centerville, and might even drizzle on Goldendale (which is a cross between a Golden Retriever and Airedale, which I thought was me making a joke, but it’s actually a real thing!). Once the west wind returns today, we’ll taste the associated Pineapple Express: temps rise to 60F in the west and as high as 68F out in the desert! Wind rises to W 20-25mph west of Mosier, 15-20mph between Mosier and Murdoch, and 25-30mph east of The Dalles to the Arlington Triangle.
Sunday’s Gorge weather forecast
Sunday brings a “free” hour of sleep that you can pay for come fall if Congress doesn’t get back to work and let us stop this clock-switching madness. Temps start in the low 40s and rise to the upper 50s (west), 60 (The Dalles), and upper 50s (east of the Bighorn Sheep). Sky: partly cloudy. Wind: westerly at 10-15mph early fading to calm in the afternoon. Rain: a little bit before 10am as far east as The Dalles, which is almost certain to trigger rainbows, which pisses off the homophobes because they are forced to confront Ma Nature’s endorsement of queerness.
Extended Gorge weather forecast
On Monday, we celebrate the arrival of another week. This one starts dry except for maybe the far reaches of Gilliam County where an anomalous blob of rain is seen in the GFS deterministic. Temps start in the upper 30s and rise to the low 50s. Everywhere. Low 50s everywhere in the lowlands. Wind: E 25-30mph near Stevenson, Corbett, Iwash (pecker) Rock and Cascade Locks. That wind fades to 15mph in the afternoon. To the east: light wind. Sky: mostly cloudy.
Tuesday: dry most of the day and then wet. After that: all hell breaks loose as another couple of atmospheric rivers penetrate the Pacific Northwest. Predicting the location of heaviest rain (and shittiest driving conditions) is impossible at this time as is predicting the associated snow level in the Cascades. I’ll be keeping a close eye on all this. Naturally. That’s what I do. Safe travels. -TATAS
