Wednesday wind starts at 30-35 near Rooster and 20-25 near Stevenson. The wind holds through mid to late morning and then drops about 10mph at Rooster and 5mph at Stevenson. Areas east of Hood River, to Hood River, see afternoon easterlies at 10-15mph today. River flow is 84,900cfs and temp is 68 degrees. High temp today: 87.
Easterlies don’t last long on Thursday. The morning starts with 20-25 near Rooster and 15-20 near Stevenson. It’ll be a relatively quick fade; by early afternoon, easterlies will be down to 5-10 or less. The wind goes light and variable in the evening. High temp: 90.
Friday starts with light west wind at 10-13 from Viento to Hood River and 5-10 east of there. Afternoon: gusty 18-22 from Stevenson to The Dalles. High temp: 88. As of this morning, it appears that Saturday holds light westerlies and Sunday holds a round of stronger west wind.
Due to crowding and unsafe conditions at Port beaches, parking restrictions now apply Friday through Sunday. Remember: crowds lead to closures. Kiting is no longer allowed at the Marina – it has become unsafe for other user groups. Lyle is now off limits unless you can get to the sandbar without crossing the RR tracks. If you cross the tracks, you will be ticketed. Lyle: loved to death. Roosevelt: still closed due to wind damage from earlier this year. Mosier is only available to residents of 97040 (Mosier).
