Advisories:  A FREEZE WARNING IS IN EFFECT FROM 11 PM TONIGHT UNTIL 9 AM WEDNESDAY FOR THE SOUTH CENTRAL AND SOUTH OREGON COAST. A FROST ADVISORY IS IN EFFECT FROM 11 PM TONIGHT UNTIL 9 AM WEDNESDAY FOR  THE SOUTH CENTRAL AND SOUTH OREGON COAST. AN AIR STAGNATION ADVISORY IS IN EFFECT UNTIL 4 PM FRIDAY FOR THE ENTIRE I-5 CORRIDOR FROM PORTLAND SOUTH THROUGH EUGENE. AN AIR STAGNATION ADVISORY IS IN EFFECT UNTIL 10 AM THURSDAY FOR CENTRAL DOUGLAS COUNTY, THE EASTERN DOUGLAS COUNTY FOOTHILLS, EASTERN CURRY COUNTY, THE KLAMATH BASIN, NORTHERN AND EASTERN KLAMATH COUNTY, CENTRAL, EASTERN, AND WESTERN LAKE COUNTY, JOSEPHINE COUNTY, AND JACKSON COUNTY.

A high pressure ridge (“Arch” shape on the jet stream) is keeping us cold with some sunshine, as long as the fog clears. So, for all of the work week we’ll see at least some sunshine after the late night and early AM fog and/or freezing fog clear out. That also means that our air quality is suffering with the sinking air of high pressure holding on to the pollutants at the surface. The ridge will slide over then past us allowing more clouds and maybe a chance of precipitation returning next weekend as a cold front moves in from the northwest.

Sorry, but no winner this week. Here is my weekly weather quiz question for the last time. The Hurricane season officially just ended Wednesday so I thought one more hurricane question was in order. Here it is. Only two Category 5 hurricanes with winds over 155 mph hit the USA between 1900 and 1996. What were their names? Here is the answer. Hurricane Camille struck in 1969 attacking the Gulf Coast causing 256 deaths and an unnamed (before the World Meteorological Association started naming Tropical Storms) hurricane struck the Florida Keys 1n 1935 causing 408 deaths.I’ll have another weekly weather quiz question for you starting Monday. 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.

Advisories:  A FREEZE WARNING IS IN EFFECT UNTIL 8 AM TODAY FOR THE SOUTH CENTRAL OREGON COAST. A FREEZE WATCH IS IN EFFECT FROM LATE TONIGHT UNTIL SUNDAY MORNING FOR THE SOUTH CENTRAL OREGON COAST. AN AIR STAGNATION ADVISORY IS IN EFFECT UNTIL 6 PM NEXT MONDAY FOR THE ENTIRE I-5 CORRIDOR FROM PORTLAND SOUTH THROUGH EUGENE,  AND FOR WESTERN COLUMBIA GORGE. AN AIR STAGNATION ADVISORY IS IN EFFECT UNTIL 4 AM NEXT TUESDAY FOR CENTRAL DOUGLAS COUNTY, EASTERN CURRY COUNTY, JOSEPHINE COUNTY, AND JACKSON COUNTY.

A high pressure ridge (“Arch” shape on the jet stream) is planted offshore and the airflow will keep us in the sunshine, as long as the fog clears. So, for the better part of the next 7 days we’ll see sunshine after the late night and early AM fog and freezing fog clear out. That also means that our air quality will suffer with the sinking air of high pressure holding on to the pollutants at the surface.

A high pressure ridge (“Arch” shape on the jet stream) is moving over us and the airflow will dry us out and return the sunshine. So, for the better part of the next 5 days we’ll see sunshine after the late night and early AM fog clears out. That also means that our air quality will suffer with the sinking air of high pressure holding on to the pollutants at the surface. Early to mid next week we’ll see the chance of precipitation returning.
