This includes both computer models as well as human forecasts. It has been down right gusty and under powered compared to forecasts. The Dalles has had a lot of smoke from fires. I am wondering if the two are related. I wonder if the smoke is blocking the normal heating effect that generates low pressure out east. Any experts want to weigh in on the subject? _________________ Kiting starts at 40MPH        Northwest Kiteboarding -> Gorge / Portland / Oregon Coast All times are GMT - 8 Hours Page 1 of 1   Jump to: Select a forum Northwest Kiteboarding Discussion Forum----------------Gorge / Portland / Oregon CoastFor SaleLost & FoundIndustry SoapboxCGKA  You cannot post new topics in this forum You cannot reply to topics in this forum You cannot edit your posts in this forum You cannot delete your posts in this forum You cannot vote in polls in this forum You can attach files in this forum You can download files in this forum
