Here is my weekly weather quiz question. What is a “Land Breeze? 

_________________

An Upper Level Low Pressure Trough (“U” shape) is moving eastward and will push more frontal systems our way. The graphics for days 1-3 show a warm front just offshore Thursday. The graphics for days 3-7  Saturday through next Wednesday show the continuing series of complex frontal systems that will slide into the Pacific Northwest through the period.
