An upper level low (shaded “U” shape) is sending copious amounts of moisture at us. That moisture is coming from Hawaii and it is nick-named “The Pineapple Express.” A strong frontal system is being pushed through the Pacific Northwest dropping significant rain on us. There will be a break from the rain as weak high pressure takes over late Thursday night through Friday.

Advisories: NONE AT THIS TIME.

A high pressure ridge (shaded “Arch” shape) turned our airflow more from over the ocean (the term for that is flattening as it lost it’s hump), for more rain chances  because it is pumping subtropical moisture into the Pacific Northwest. Since the moisture feed is coming from Hawaii it is nick-named “The Pineapple Express.” Behind the ridge is an upper level low (shaded “U” shape on previous graphic). A frontal system moved through and another is following right behind it. The wet weather pattern will last through Halloween. Prepare your Trick-or-Treaters for the wet weather. We could see at least one dry day on Thursday.

Advisories: A COASTAL FLOOD ADVISORY IS IN EFFECT UNTIL 8 PM TODAY FOR THE NORTH OREGON COAST AND COAST RANGE. A WIND ADVISORY IS IN EFFECT FROM 2 AM UNTIL 8 PM TONIGHT FOR NORTHERN AND EASTERN KLAMATH COUNTY, CENTRAL, EASTERN, AND WESTERN LAKE COUNTY.

Sorry, no winner this week. Here is my weekly weather quiz question for the last time. What is a “halo?” Here is the correct answer. Sun dogs, halos, and rainbows are all due to the same basic physics: refraction of sunlight through moisture in the atmosphere. Refraction is the bending of light as it passes through a material, such as the lenses of your glasses. The difference between halos and rainbows is two-fold: the shape and the material that the light refracts through. To form a rainbow, light refracts through and reflects from a drop of water in the atmosphere which is approximately spherical. On the other hand, a halo forms from refraction through a hexagonal crystal of ice. The angle through which light refracts depends on the surface and material it refracts through, so the angle between the sun and the light phenomenon we see in the sky is different for rainbows and halos. I’ll have a new 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.

Sorry, no winner this week. Here is my weekly weather quiz question for the last time. What is a “halo?” Here is the correct answer. Sun dogs, halos, and rainbows are all due to the same basic physics: refraction of sunlight through moisture in the atmosphere. Refraction is the bending of light as it passes through a material, such as the lenses of your glasses. The difference between halos and rainbows is two-fold: the shape and the material that the light refracts through. To form a rainbow, light refracts through and reflects from a drop of water in the atmosphere which is approximately spherical. On the other hand, a halo forms from refraction through a hexagonal crystal of ice. The angle through which light refracts depends on the surface and material it refracts through, so the angle between the sun and the light phenomenon we see in the sky is different for rainbows and halos. I’ll have a new 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) turned our airflow more from over the ocean (the term for that is flattening as it looses it’s hump), for more rain chances through the rest of the weekend because it is pumping subtropical moisture into the Pacific Northwest. A frontal system has moved in and will continue the rain for the rest of the weekend into next week. An upper level trough of low pressure will take over early next week continuing the wet weather pattern. A parade of frontal systems will inhance this weather pattern for your workweek including Halloween. Prepare your Trick-or-Treaters for the wet weather.
