No promises, but fingers are crossed! Wednesday sees easterlies ramp up to 35mph at Iwash (Rooster) Rock, 30-35mph at Stevenson, and 25mph at Viento. The wind holds into early afternoon when it falls to 25mph at Iwash and Stevenson and 15-20mph at Viento.

EXTENDED gorge wind forecast
Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and probably Sunday all bring light/variable wind. For Monday, models hint at a cold front followed by building high pressure offshore. This often results in a period of moderately strong westerlies between Viento and Rufus. Fingers are crossed. Other than that, your water time will be limited to non-wind sports – dock starting, e-foiling, kayaking, etc… Hope to see you out there on the Nch’i Wana one of these days!

MT HOOD SNOW FORECAST
Hey skiers and snowboarders! The start of ski season keeps slipping deeper into the future. It’s clear now that we won’t have ski season by Thanksgiving. Beyond that, models have a lot of range in the potential outcome but no clear signs of the two feet or so of snow we need to get things moving at Meadows and Skibowl.
Looking at today, Wednesday, Mt. Hood starts clear and ends cloudy. An inch of so of snow is forecast overnight as the snow level falls to 4000′. Wind: ESE 15 this morning, SW 15-25 overnight. Light snowfall on Thursday morning – just an inch of accumulation – gives way to clear sky. The snow level will be 3500-4000′ for the 24 hours period. Wind: SW 15-25 in the morning and light/variable in the afternoon and overnight. Friday looks sunny with light wind. The free air freezing level rises from 4000′ in the morning to 8500′ in the afternoon and 9000′ after midnight.
In a shift from previous forecasts, the weekend now looks dry both days. Light to moderate precip is possible Monday evening, but total precip looks to be under 0.5” for less than half a foot of new at 5000′. Uncertainty increases after Monday. For now, the middle of next week is almost certainly going to be dry. Models then have about an 80% chance of some precip (temps uncertain) towards the end of next week. Let’s leave it there for now and make plans to do some mountain biking instead!

Good morning, neighbors! It’s a chilly November morning here in the Gorge, and so far today, the community appears clear of ice. That doesn’t mean you won’t encounter slick roads – frost is certainly possible and maybe even some black ice in the shadowy darkness. Gorge weather for the next five days looks unexceptional: mostly dry, mostly not very windy, and not particularly cold or hot. Before we dive in… if it’s still early and you haven’t had a chance to say hello to the Nch’i Wana, it’s worth making soime time – the entire river is covered in fog this morning thanks to the combo of still-warm water and cold air. It’s BEAUTIFUL!!!
Glenwood this morning
Speaking of cold, Glenwood started this morning at 24 degrees. Most people expected this and had coals in the wood stove ready to stoke. Now they’re all sitting in rocking chairs in front of blazing fires sipping black coffee. PEACEFUL! Lots of other places are nearly as cold as Glenwood this morning, but nobody beat the OG. Goldendale came close with 25, and the lower parts of Parkdale were reading 26. My garden: 30ish, so that’s the end of the dahlias for the year. Good thing I labeled them yesterday!
Today’s Gorge weather forecast
Today’s weather sees the near-river Nothing break up. Sun midday gives way to mid and high level clouds this afternoon as a weather system approaches. Temps rise to 50 degrees, more or less. East wind starts the day at 30-35mph near Iwash (RELEASE THE FILES WITHOUT REDACTING THEM) Rock and Stevenson. Afternoon: 25mph. Up in the hills, easterlies rise to 5-15mph.
Extended Gorge weather forecast
Overnight, a weather system makes landfall. This gives us drizzle as far east as Celilo Village starting around midnight and ending around sunrise. There’s a good chance you’ll sleep through the entire round of drizzle! Temps Thursday morning will be in the upper 30s. They’ll rise to 50-53F in the afternoon. Wind: unexciting. E 15mph in the usual spots in the morning and calm in the afternoon. Friday, Saturday, and Sunday all look uneventful. Calm wind, dry weather, temps in the low to mid 50s, warmest on Saturday. Our next weather system presents itself on Monday, but the timing, intensity, and exact type are still fuzzy. Generally speaking, the weather remains far from the extremes for the next week or so. Safe travels. -TATAS
