Hey Todd,
Even this far out, I'm mostly playing averages and guessing. In usual years when it's this hot up here
(and it is hot) there's no wind, but the last 2 years, the wind has punched through, even when it's hot.
Not sure why. for Today and Tuesday, we'll see gusty 4/8M conditions. Weds will back off to probably
5/10M conditions, Thursday probably light but planable wind if you have a 14M Kite.
historically speaking it's unusual for the Gorge to go more than 3 days in a row in summer heat and no
wind, so Friday may be light and windless, but by Saturday and Sunday, the odds are good for solid wind.
Anyway, that's my take on a very extended forecast up here.
Good luck,
-Craig

I have been reading the nws discussion forecast up there. We might still be to far out to tell, but not you? Can you help interpret?
what do you think, especailly as we get closer?
