Here is my new weekly weather quiz question. What is the first thing you would notice at the beach when a Tsunami was approaching and what should you do?  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.

An upper level low (Shaded “U” shape) is just offshore and moving slowly eastward over the Pacific Northwest. A frontal system moved through Oregon spreading showers ahead of it. Next week we’ll see a frontal system move in Thursday and another one right behind it will push in Saturday keeping the chance of showers with us. It’s still too early to make a accurate weather prediction for the 4th of July.

Sorry, no winner this week. Here is my weekly weather quiz question for the last time. What is “Zulu (Z) Time?” Here is the correct answer. Zulu (Z) Time is for practical purposes, the same as Coordinated Universal Time (UTC). The notation formerly used to identify time Greenwich MeanTime. The word “Zulu” is notation in the phonetic alphabet corresponding to the letter “Z” assigned to the time zone on the Greenwich Prime Meridian. 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.

A short-lived area of high pressure (“Arch” shape in blue arrows) dried us Friday and Saturday, but the chance of rain has returned as a trough of low pressure (Shaded “U” shape) moves in behind the high.  Summer officially began with the Summer Solstice at 10:04 AM PDT Friday and as usual our weather has to change back to more clouds and wet. Next week we’ll see a frontal system move in Wednesday and another one right behind it keeping the chance of showers with us. It’s still too early to make a accurate weather prediction for the 4th of July.

An upper level low (“U” shape) has crossed the coast and is moving through Oregon continuing the clouds and the chance of rain.  A short-lived area of high pressure will dry us out today and Saturday, but the chance of rain returns by Sunday. A frontal system will be pushing into the Pacific Northwest late over the weekend increasing our chances for rain. Summer officially begins with the Summer Solstice at 10:04 AM PDT today. Next week we’ll see a frontal system move in by midweek. It’s still too early to make a weather prediction for the 4th of July.
