The jet stream shows a trough of low pressure ( “U” shaped area) swinging through the Pacific Northwest with another one following behind it. A frontal system moved through the area bringing a mixture of sunshine  and wet weather. We’ll see another frontal system move in Tuesday. It’s been a long time coming, but a high pressure ridge will build in late next week into the weekend warming us up so it will feel more like Spring. It’s about time.

Sorry, but no winner this week. I’ll repeat the question. In meteorology what are elves? Here is the correct answer. Elves are bright flashes of light in the night sky resulting from lightning within thunderstorms. The thin upper atmosphere gives off a brief glow as the electromagnetic pulse from a lightning bolt passes through on its way to outer space. Elves are too fast to be seen with the naked eye, last less than one-thousandth of a second. I’ll have another weekly weather quiz question for you starting next Monday. Please post your answer as a comment by clicking on “no comments” in the upper right hand portion of this page under the caption, then add your comment. The first person to post the correct answer will win a week of free personalized  weather forecasts tailored to your needs. The answer has to be a comment to win. An email answer will not count. Good luck.

I just have to show you a picture I took this afternoon from my yard. It show “Cumulus Mammatus” clouds. They are the rounded shapes in the lower center of the picture behind the wires. Mammatus clouds are formed by the turbulent winds aloft that swirl them into rounded shapes. I have found that when they are present there is usually at least a thunderstorm not too far away. Radar showed storms passing by to my East on a line moving South to North at that time.
