Gorge Wind Forecast

An active weather pattern takes over on the west coast for the next several days. That sets the Gorge up for moderate, gusty westerlies along with plenty of rain. For Tuesday, expect light and variable wind to start the day. We’ll see the wind pick up to unreliable 12-16 east of The Dalles this afternoon. Rain falls east of The Dalles this afternoon as well, so don’t get too excited.

Wednesday also looks drizzly. Morning wind starts out light and variable. We’ll end up with gusty 15-18 west of Hood River and east of The Dalles after 11am, probably holding until sunset. Thursday looks similar, but a bit stronger. Expect rain, and plenty of it. Westerlies will be up and down and all over the place, and they’ll only be west of Hood River and east of The Dalles. Call it 18-23 and all over the grid. Next chance for steadier wind arrives with the weekend. Direction: easterly. Temps: cold.

Cycling

10/28: Motorized use is open on ALL Hood River County Land now. Kreps lands have reopened per their FB page. Do be aware of the possibility of freeze-thaw (muddy) conditions up high. Do not ride those trails, as you will do permanent damage due to liquefied soil structure. Mt. Hood National Forest: some areas have reopened. Expect many downed trees.
