A weak trough of low pressure has moved through Oregon and California bringing more clouds, but no precipitation. A cold front slid through having almost no effect on our weather, but it will clear us out tonight and allow the low temperatures to get much cooler. A  high pressure ridge (Shaded “Arch” shape with blue arrows over the Gulf of Alaska) is moving onshore bringing more sunshine to the Pacific Northwest for the rest of the week into the weekend.

Here is my weather quiz question for the last time. There has been heated discussion and much research into “Global Warming.” We’ve heard of the disadvantages of the phenomenon, but what would be the “advantages” of “Global Warming?” Here is the answer.

• Arctic, Antarctic, Siberia, and other frozen regions of earth may experience more plant growth and milder climates.
• The next ice age may be prevented from occurring.
• Northwest Passage through Canada’s formerly-icy north opens up to sea transportation.
• Less need for energy consumption to warm cold places.
• Fewer deaths or injuries due to cold weather.
• Longer growing seasons could mean increased agricultural production in some local areas.
• Mountains increase in height due to melting glaciers, becoming higher as they rebound against the missing weight of the ice.
• Boundary disputes between countries over low-lying islands will disappear.

The real question is do the advantages outweigh the disadvantages? 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.

A  high pressure ridge (Shaded “Arch” shape with blue arrows moving over Western Canada) is far enough North to allow a low pressure area to undercut the ridge and slowly move onshore today increasing the onshore and southerly flow which is giving us more clouds, morning fog and and cooling temperatures.  A cold front will fall apart as it moves toward the Pacific Northwest Monday with little effect. The typical Fall weather will continue as another high pressure ridge takes over midweek.

Here is my weather quiz question for this week. Today is your last chance to win this week. There has been heated discussion and much research into “Global Warming.” We’ve heard of the disadvantages of the phenomenon, but what would be the “advantages” of “Global Warming?” 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. Good luck.

Advisories: NONE AT THIS TIME.

A  high pressure ridge (Shaded “Arch” shape with blue arrows moving over Western Canada) is far enough North to allow a low pressure area to undercut the ridge increasing the onshore and southerly flow which is giving us more clouds, morning fog and  and cooling temperatures. There will be a change in the weather pattern as we get into the end of the weekend and next week which will give us a chance of showers as a cold front moves in on Monday.
