It’s Monday and that, of course, means it’s time for my new weekly weather quiz question. Here it is. What city in the United States has the most hail? Please post your answer as a comment by clicking on “no comments/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.

A strong upper level area of  low pressure (oval shape moving into Oregon) is sending moisture to the Pacific Northwest. A frontal system that moved ashore through Northern California brought showers that moved from South to North over Oregon.  Another frontal system will be approaching the coast Thursday. Another frontal system will be upon us by Friday, followed by yet another frontal system over the weekend.

We have a winner! Friday the 13h was lucky for at least one person.

_______________

Congratulations to Richard Smith for being the first person to post the correct answer to this week’s weather quiz question. Here’s the question again. What is a micropluviometer? Her is Richard’s answer. “A rain gauge capable of measuring very small amounts of precipitation, amounts that are less than could be measured by an ordinary rain gauge.” One other person had the correct answer (JYHASH), but Richard posted his first. Please post your answer as a comment by clicking on “no comments/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.

We have a winner!

Congratulations to Richard Smith for being the first person to post the correct answer to this week’s weather quiz question. Here’s the question again. What is a micropluviometer? Her is Richard’s answer. “A rain gauge capable of measuring very small amounts of precipitation, amounts that are less than could be measured by an ordinary rain gauge.” One other person had the correct answer (JYHASH), but Richard posted his first. Please post your answer as a comment by clicking on “no comments/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.

A strong upper level area of  low pressure (oval shape offshore) has already started to send moisture to the Pacific Northwest by. It will start moving over us as the weekend progresses, then a series of frontal systems (this one Wednesday) march through. All of that means the wet weather will continue.

Weak high pressure (“arch” shape) is moving away from us as a strong trough of low pressure (“U” shape offshore) starts sending moisture to the Pacific Northwest by late Saturday. A frontal system has pushed through Oregon spreading some rain throughout the area. We will be between systems for a while, so enjoy the sunshine while it lasts. There will, of course, be some patchy morning fog in some areas. We’ll be back to the chance of rain by Saturday night.
