Things may turn around by this weekend on the coast - at least the wind forecast is calling for northerly direction, albeit light. Lets keep our fingers crossed. I agree, this low pressure system sucks!

I think that's pretty much the million dollar question right now. It's early, but I'd place bets on the central to eastern gorge for the weekend. The coast is looking weak, and if you get skunked in the gorge at least it's more likely to be sunny.

George says...

Quote:
West wind though most of the weekend in The Gorge
On Friday the main low moves inland through Southern Oregon. Gorge gradients increase in the afternoon and coastal wind comes around to the NW. Coastal showers expected but the Eastern Gorge should be mostly dry. On Saturday a trough develops over the region with high pressure offshore to the SW. This sets up good Gorge gradients . Coastal sites still get showers but Eastern Gorge sites should see some sun. Sunday we are still under the trough with west gradients. Monday gradients weaken as a new low develops offshore.

the "showers likely" is a bad sign for the coast, even when they are predicting N winds. it might work but i would bet against the small kites coming out.
