________________

Sorry, no winner this week. Here’s my weekly weather quiz question for the last time. What are “GOES” and what do they do? Here is the correct answer. The Geostationary Satellite system (GOES), which has satellites that match the speed of the rotation of the Earth so they can stay in one place looking down at specific areas of the planet, are operated by the United States National Environmental Satellite, Data, and Information Service (NESDIS), and support weather forecasting, severe storm tracking, and meteorology research. Spacecraft and ground-based elements of the system work together to provide a continuous stream of environmental data. The National Weather Service (NWS) uses the GOES system for its United States weather monitoring and forecasting operations, and scientific researchers use the data to better understand land, atmosphere, ocean, and climate interactions. The GOES system uses geosynchronous satellites which—since the launch of SMS-1 in 1974—have been a basic element of U.S. weather monitoring and forecasting. I’ll have a new weekly weather quiz question for you starting on 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 surface thermal trough of low pressure (L with dashed line through it) pushed eastward and it cooled us a bit today and it’s shoving the smoke back to the East away from us. A weak trough of low pressure (small “U” shape over Vancouver Island) will continue to slide over us through Sunday easing the short-lived cooling. A high pressure ridge (Shaded “Arch” shape in the Gulf of Alaska) will move southward and cover us with sunshine and continued warm temperatures next week.

A high pressure ridge (“Arch shape with blue arrows ”) has brought back the sunshine and warmed us up. The big problem is the smoke that is being pushed at us from the East. A surface thermal trough of low pressure (induced by the warm temperatures) pushed eastward cooling us a bit and it will shove the smoke to the East away from us. A upper level trough of low pressure (“U” shape shaded and in blue arrows) moved out of the Gulf of Alaska, along with the ridge will push a weak cold front through between Saturday and Sunday, but will only bring us a few more clouds and cooler temperatures. It will warm up again next week as high pressure moves in and strengthens.
