Hood River is serving up classic spring doldrums with winds barely reaching 11 kt and gusts topping out around 21 kt — well below the 18+ kt threshold needed here. Direction looks decent with westerly flow, but the thermal engine simply isn't firing yet. Temperatures climbing into the mid-teens suggest winter's grip is loosening, but wind strength remains anemic across all three days.

Bottom line: Complete no-go with winds maxing at half what you need for the Gorge.
