Here is my new weekly weather quiz question. “What is the “Showalter Index?”

____________

Upper Level High Pressure over the 4 corners area is moving away from us but still producing sunshine with high temperatures in the 90s. The graphics for days 1-3  show a frontal system sliding into Oregon Friday. The graphics for days 3-7   Friday through Tuesday show a cold frontal system slowly pushing through the Pacific Northwest Friday and Saturday with another cold front sliding in Tuesday.

Here is my weekly weather quiz question for the last time. “What is a “Severe Thunderstorm?” Here is the correct answer. A Severe Thunderstorm is a thunderstorm that produces a tornado, winds of at least 58 mph (50knots), and/or hail at least 1″ in diameter. Structural wind damage may imply the occurrence of a severe thunderstorm. A thunderstorm wind equal to or greater than 40 mph (35 knots) and/or hail of at least 1″ is defined as approaching severe.

Here is my weekly weather quiz question for the last time. “What is a “Severe Thunderstorm?” Here is the correct answer. A Severe Thunderstorm is a thunderstorm that produces a tornado, winds of at least 58 mph (50knots), and/or hail at least 1″ in diameter. Structural wind damage may imply the occurrence of a severe thunderstorm. A thunderstorm wind equal to or greater than 40 mph (35 knots) and/or hail of at least 1″ is defined as approaching severe.

Upper Level High Pressure over the 4 corners area keeps us in sunshine with high temperatures in the 90s. The graphics for days 1-3  show a weak frontal system sliding into Washington and Oregon Sunday. The graphics for days 3-7   Tuesday through Saturday show a cold frontal system pushing through the Pacific Northwest next Friday and Saturday.
