It’s time for my weekly weather quiz. Here is this week’s question. Major flooding occurred along the Northeast Coast of the U.S. in the summer of 1972 causing a 500-year flood in Elmira, New Your and other locations. What was the main cause of this flooding? You’ll get extra praise if you can explain a secondary cause for all of the rain that fell. Please place your answer as a comment after the forecasts on this page. The first person to post the correct answer will win a week of free personalized weather forecasts tailored to your needs. Good luck.

_______________

A  high pressure ridge (shaded “Arch” shape over the Pacific and the Northwest Coast) is moving in behind the upper level low pressure trough (shaded “U” area moving away from us. That adds up to more sunshine and a bit warmer for a short while. There are some clouds spinning around an upper level low over California. For the most part those clouds and associated showers will stay in Eastern Oregon, but some could manage to survive the trip over the Cascades to Western Oregon. A weak cold front will bring back a chance of showers Friday. Look for another stronger cold front to roll across Oregon on Sunday bringing the chance of precipitation back into Columbus Day.

A  high pressure ridge (shaded “Arch” shape over the Northwest) is moving away from us and a trough of low pressure (the shaded “U” shape along the coast) is moving in behind the ridge. A frontal system passed through Oregon late Monday. As the upper level low pressure trough migrates Eastward across Oregon the chance of rain will move out with it. High pressure  (see the shaded “arch” over the Gulf of Alaska) returns the sunshine and warmer temperatures beginning today. Look for another stronger cold front to roll across Oregon on Sunday.

A  high pressure ridge (shaded “Arch” shape over the Northwest) is moving away from us and a trough of low pressure (the shaded “U” shape along the coast) is moving in behind the ridge. A frontal system pushed into Oregon today and another will do the same Sunday. As the upper level low pressure trough migrates Eastward across Oregon the chance of rain will also increase for a while.

Nobody posted the correct answer. Here is my weekly weather quiz question one more time. I’ll give you a definition and you tell me what I am defining. It is a warmer than normal period after the first frost in the Fall. What have I defined? I have defined “Indian Summer.” I’ll have another weekly weather quiz question for you starting next Monday.  The first person to post the correct answer will win a week of free personalized weather forecasts tailored to your needs.

A  high pressure ridge (shaded “Arch” shape over the Northwest) brought sunshine to the Pacific Northwest and  kept us warmer than normal. That is changing, slowly. A trough of low pressure (the shaded “U” shape to the West) will be moving in behind the ridge. A frontal system (shown offshore) will push through by early Sunday as the upper level low pressure trough migrates Eastward across Oregon. The chance of rain will also increase.
