Here is my weekly weather quiz question for the lasttime. What is “Zero Datum?” Here is the correct answer. Zero Datum: In hydrologic terms, a reference “zero” elevation for a stream or river gage. This “zero” can be referenced (usually within ten feet of the bottom of the channel) to mean sea level, or to any other recognized datum.
The Jet Stream is still pushing fronts our way and sending plenty of moisture to the Pacific Northwest. The graphics for days 1-3 show a complex frontal system that’s moving in and the next one in line behind it. The graphics for days 3-7 Tuesday through Saturday show the frontal activity through the period.

The Jet Stream is sending an Atmospheric River full of moisture south of the Pacific Northwest. The graphics for days 1-3 show a frontal system offshore Tuesday. The graphics for days 3-7 Wednesday through Sunday show more frontal activity continuing through the period.
