An upper air trough of low pressure (“U” shape) is moving over the Pacific Northwest has kept us wet and cooler.  A cold front brought back some rain for the weekend as the low pressure trough swept in. Another frontal system will be upon us by the middle of next week and that means a bit of a break from late Monday into Wednesday afternoon.

Again, no winner this week.

________________

Here is my weekly weather quiz question for the last time. Where is the most common birthplace for a violent (F4 or greater) tornado?  Here is the answer. According to research done by Dr. Harold Brooks  at NSSL, the National Severe Storms Laboratory in Norman, Oklahoma, the most common birthplace for a violent tornado (F4 or greater) is in south-central Oklahoma. I’ll have another weekly weather quiz question starting next Monday. 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.
