Gorge Wind Forecast
The wind will be all over the place today, with easterlies in the morning and westerlies in the afternoon. Models aren’t being cooperative for the latter half of the week and weekend – run to run consistency sucks.
For Tuesday, the easterlies max out at 20-25 from Rooster to Stevenson an d 10-15 Home Valley to Viento mid-morning before going calm around noon. Late in the day, west wind picks up to 10-13 from Stevenson to Mosier. River temps is 59. Flow is 317kcfs.
Wednesday starts out cloudy and perhaps showery near Hood River, shifting the wind east. We’ll have 7-10 in the west and 13-16 east of Mosier to start the day. Building offshore high pressure and an exiting cold front give us 8-13 from Stevenson to Mosier in the afternoon with gusty 24-27 Lyle eastward. Thursday currently looks to max out at 22-26 from Stevenson to The Dalles, and Friday’s looking like 13-16. I can’t really give you a weekend forecast because models are bouncing around too much.
