It’s Monday and that means a new weekly weather quiz Question. Since it has been so hot I thought I’d give you a question that might cool you off. Here it is. What location in the world set the record for the most snowfall in one season? Extra congratulations if you know the total snowfall measured and when it occurred. Please post your answer as a comment after the forecasts. The first person to post the correct answer will win a week of free personalized weather forecasts tailored to your needs. Good luck.

An upper level High Pressure ridge is weakening (See the “Arch” shaped area) and will start moving to the East.  A trough of low pressure will develop and move toward us (See “U” shape ) and another low (see small yellow circle) will move through Southern Oregon and Northern California with a cold front moving through Oregon Thursday. All of those combine to produce cooler weather with increased onshore airflow over the Pacific Northwest.

_______________

Advisories:  A HEAT ADVISORY REMAINS  IN EFFECT  THROUGH 9 PM THIS EVENING FOR THE NORTH AND CENTRAL WILLAMETTE VALLEY (SALEM TO THE NORTH),  THE WESTERN COLUMBIA RIVER GORGE, THE UPPER HOOD RIVER VALLEY AND THE CASCADE FOOTHILLS OF NORTHWEST OREGON. A RED FLAG WARNING FOR WILDFIRE DANGER IS IN EFFECT FROM 11 AM UNTIL 11 PM TUESDAY FOR THE CENTRAL OREGON CASCADES MAINLY SOUTH OF MT. HOOD FOR DRY THUNDERSTORMS.  HOT AND DRY CONDITIONS  COULD PRODUCE LIGHTNING CAUSED FIRES .

An upper level High Pressure ridge has been building up (See the “Arch” shaped area from the Gulf of Alaska to Idaho) giving us offshore flow and warming us up again Monday. A weak trough will swing through Northern California cooling temps. quite a bit today, then high pressure strengthens warming back up Monday. A trough of low pressure will develop and move toward us next week with a cold front moving through Oregon between Thursday and Friday that will be  cooling us back down again. There is still smoke over the Deschutes National Forest near Sisters and could slowly move toward us  due to the offshore airflow pushing the smoke from East to West because of the high pressure over us now.

In case you missed it we have a winner.

_______________

Yes we have a winner. Here again is my weekly weather quiz question. What is the wettest place in the world? An extra cheer for you if you can tell me the average rainfall there. Congratulations to our winner Dan Ross. Your correct answer was: Mount Wai-‘ale-‘ale, Kauai, one of the Hawaiian islands – the weather station there is 1569 metres high and records on average 13,000mm to 11,684mm rain per year depending on who you believe. For those of you not to handy with conversion tables that means from 511.8 inches of rain per year down to 460 inches of rain per year. I’ll have another weather quiz question for you next Monday.  The first person to post the correct answer will win a week of free personalized weather forecasts tailored to your needs.

Here again is my weekly weather quiz question. What is the wettest place in the world? An extra cheer for you if you can tell me the average rainfall there. Please post your answer as a comment after the forecasts. The first person to post the correct answer will win a week of free personalized weather forecasts tailored to your needs. Good luck.

The upper level low that has been keeping us in the onshore air flow is moving to the East. High pressure will start to build up giving us offshore flow and warming us up quite a bit Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. Another trough of low pressure will develop and move toward us Monday to Tuesday with a cold front moving through Oregon Wednesday cooling us back down again. There is still smoke over the Deschutes National Forest near Sisters and could slowly move toward us if and when the offshore airflow returns pushing the smoke from East to West.

Advisories: NONE AT THIS TIME.

An upper level low over Eastern Oregon (see “U” shaped area of white line) that has been keeping us in the onshore air flow is moving to the East. High pressure will start to build up giving us offshore flow and warming us up quite a bit Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. Another trough of low pressure will develop and move toward us Monday to Tuesday cooling us back down again.There is still smoke high in the atmosphere over us from Canadian fires. So far that smoke has not come down to the surface. Smoke is still collecting over the Deschutes National Forest near Sisters and could slowly move toward us if and when the offshore airflow returns pushing the smoke from East to West.
