TOMORROW

GORGE TODAY:FRIDAY 5/17 -A very windy day again as the 1-2-3 punch continues. Stronger morning gradients through the Gorge (than yesterday..)...Juicy "clouds in the hole" again (pic at 8:30am)

A shifting heat low to Idaho sucking cool ocean air inland past The Dalles this morning ...and clear skies out east (again)..add up to a classic NUCLEAR day .. EAST of The Dalles... (again) as the thermodynamics add up, and that won't stop until Saturday evening. ...The "goods" are out east all weekend ...with classic shortwaves moving through every day boosting winds every afternoon way OUT EAST ... but wind also remains in the CORRIDOR as well.. a couple notches less.

DOUG'S BEACH avg 33 24-48 from 309* 53*F

MARYHILL avg 32 26g42 from 239* 54*F

ARLINGTON avg 28 24-34 from W 260* 55*F all at 6:15 am

It will be as windy as yesterday early out east 25-30 + mph ... backing off a bit early afternoon with a healthy rebound(again) by 5 pm. Steadier wind in the NEAR EAST as well today as the marine intrusion receeds a bit.

As the Pendleton NWS says ... WIND ADVISORY...

I advise as well

THE REASON TO SUBSCRIBE

Thank you to all who are supporting this effort with your generous donations this and past season... and already this season...it keeps me going ...nice to feel the respect for my 37 yrs doing this. I will make it simple... and give you what you need to know without too much "weather babble"... you can find that elsewhere I work on donations ... and the "Attitude of Gratitude" is important to me. ..All donations of any amount are so appreciated with $5/gal gas .. and hope I can save you time and money. I don't want what I don't deserve. Let's split the potential savings. This upcoming season will present a challenge to forecasting... as we transition into a La Nina situation. Extremes are becoming more extreme and more frequent . Already seeing it's affects... with already way more strong EAST wind events that historically never happen in the springtime ...snow down to river level in March ..followed by 3 days of 80 degree temps...followed by more low level snow... then 80 degrees again! Plants and Nature are confused ...flowers were out before the bees etc... I have my records going back to the mid/ late 1980's ..when I forecasted before the internet and social media...when it used to be consistently windy. I'm compiling an E mail list for those who would be willing to kick in a few bucks to get a wind forecast /report custom delivered to your inbox daily in the morning ... and an afternoon update when necessary. That list starts June 1st. With enough support .. I'll install a weather station on my porch here in Lyle.. maybe a web cam.. to view the all important cloud line .. and also for the world to view our beautiful playground. Thank You VTI 5/12/24
