2.4.24 A 50% chance of evening rain increasing to rain late tonight.

Category: Uncategorized
Here is my weekly weather quiz question for the last time  What is the “PDSI?” Here is the correct answer. PDSI is the Palmer Drought Severity Index – an index used to gage the severity of drought conditions by using a water balance equation to track water supply and demand. This index is calculated weekly by the National Weather Service.
_______________
An Atmospheric River has been pumping a lot of moisture into California, but luckily not as much into Oregon  The graphics for days 1-3  show the complex frontal system moving through Oregon Monday. The graphics for days 3-7   Wednesday through Sunday show complex frontal systems  approaching the Pacific Northwest the pushing through Wednesday, Friday, and next Sunday..
Note: A check on the many groundhog predictions Friday shows they all predict an early Spring, But Spencer Butte Bob, My personal Groundhog, did see his shadow Friday morning (sunshine and clouds) in Eugene predicting six more weeks of winter. If our current weather indicates what the rest of Winter will be like then I’ll take it.

Here is my weekly weather quiz question. What is the “PDSI?”
_______________
An Upper Level High Pressure Ridge (“Arch” shape) has been helping to pump unseasonably warm air over the Pacific Northwest, but that’s going to change.  The graphics for days 1-3  show the complex frontal system that’s fell apart as it moved through Oregon. The graphics for days 3-7   Monday through Friday show a the parade of complex frontal systems approaching the Pacific Northwest.
Note: A check on the many groundhog predictions today shows they all predict an early Spring, But Spencer Butte Bob, My personal Groundhog, did see his shadow this morning (bright sunshine) in Eugene predicting six more weeks of winter. If today’s weather indicates what the rest of Winter will be like then I’ll take it.
