Maybe he meant arsenic?
usairnet also says current temp is 32 with a dew point of 32. Sumtin's funky, eh?
I think I might try a little airport action, if I get an hour free (have to work late).
Friday sure looks good for SI, I agree (maybe I can get out of overtime that day)

Sweet! Glad you guys got some goods....boo to the current!
Strachen and I got a late start so went to the epic airport....Rode the whole time, little up and down but real good out in the middle...we got way upwind of the launch also...Current was strong, but wind was on/side shore so it didn't effect us as much... 10m and skim no problem. session saver for sure. no wake bouys nice ollie practice!! 
tonight looks good

Hey guys, that was me who showed up a little too late, with that foil. Oh, nice bouy-Ollie
Were you thinkin' of the airport tonight?
I'm working late again, but maybe I can get there a little earlier.
I'm thinkin' SI, all day Friday, if the boss decides to be nice.

Over six feet coming in under five hours, starting shortly after 5pm  That’s about as bad as it gets
BTW, Knapp Landing, WA is a bit closer to Sauvie.

What a great day was had. I'm starting to get more comfortable with big airs. So much fun
Stayed on the river for 5 hours. I look like a racoon
My day ended when I triple bowtied  , in the shipping channel, and took on water, swam a couple 100 yards to the Washington side, drained 731.6 gallons from that baby, then my wife rescued me with her AquaGlide.
That little AquaGlide is great. If there is even just a faint puff of wind, you can still sail. My sweetheart beached that gem right exactly in front of me (on the Washington side), helped me drain the kite, then sailed me back, while I kicked it, using my rolled up kite as a pillow. Sweet 
Kudos to those who inquired of my wellfare, for watching out for me, and for taking my board back in for me.
Guess it's time to start untangling my leg snare.

My wife talked with his wife and found out that the kayak dude rescued him and his kite.
Did you see any of my lame jumps?
