Sorry, but no winner for my weekly weather quiz question.  Here it is for the last time. In meteorology what is meant by the term “La Nada?” Climate scientists know that couple, ocean-atmosphere processes in the Pacific Ocean can have a tremendous influence of climate patterns worldwide. These events, called El Niño and La Niña, alternate with each other, but their cycles have pauses called La Nada. This is where we are now. A couple of months ago, experts began to see that La Niña was clearly dissipating. As they conducted the observations, they noticed that indeed this was the case. By early August, the process had disappeared entirely, leaving no traces behind. But the switch from La Niña to El Niño does not occur immediately, NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) oceanographer and climatologist Bill Patzert explains. He calls this transition period we’re in La Nada, which roughly translates into “the nothing.”
I’ll have a new weekly weather quiz question for you beginning next Tuesday after the holiday. Please remember to 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 high pressure ridge (Shaded “Arch” shape with blue arrows) moves in and warms us up for the holiday weekend. The Beavers will be home against Sacramento State today at 1PM and the weather will be bright, sunny, dry and quite warm with the high temperature 90-92 (hotter on the field). The Ducks will play against LSU in Arlington, Texas with game time at 5 PM our time 7 PM CDT and it will be sunny and hot with high temperature about 101 degrees by late afternoon then slowly cooling as the game progresses. The roof on the stadium is expected to be closed which would make a difference in the conditions on the field cooling it down to 72-75 degrees inside.

A trough of low pressure (Shaded “U” shape with blue arrows) is swinging through the Pacific Northwest continuing the clouds and cooler temperatures. A high pressure ridge (Shaded “Arch” shape with blue arrows) will move in behind the trough and warm us up for the holiday weekend. The Beavers will be home against Sacramento State Saturday at 1PM and the weather will be bright, sunny, dry and quite warm with the high temperature near 90. The Ducks will play against LSU in Arlington, Texas with game time at 5 PM and it will be sunny and hot with high temperature about 100 degrees then slowly cooling as the game progresses. Don’t know if the roof on the stadium there will be open or closed which would make a difference in the conditions on the field.
