No winner this week. Here is my weekly weather quiz question for the last time. What is an “undertow?” Undertow is a relatively small-scale surf-zone current moving away from the beach. Rip currents form as waves disperse along the beach causing water to become trapped between the beach and a sandbar or other underwater feature. The water converges into a narrow, river-like channel moving away from the shore at high speed. 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. Good luck.

Advisories: NONE AT THIS TIME.

The upper air flow (blue arrows aiming more from the west) return some clouds and keep us a bit cooler for a while. A cold front will bring a slight chance of drizzle to the coast and Umpqua Basin late in the week.

The Grass Pollen Count is listed as High again at 95 and Tree pollen is Moderate at 20 as of 7/01/13 according to Oregon Allergy Associates.

Advisories: There is a Green Algae warning for Dexter Reservoir. Water monitoring has confirmed the presence of blue-green algae that can produce toxins, state public health officials said. The algae levels are likely associated with dangerous cyanotoxin concentrations in the water that can be harmful to humans and animals. Swallowing or inhaling water droplets, as well as skin contact with water, should be avoided according to the authorities

Advisories: A HEAT ADVISORY IS IN EFFECT UNTIL 9 PM THIS EVENING FOR THE CENTRAL AND SOUTH WILLAMETTE VALLEY FROM JUST NORTH OF MC MINNVILLE AND MOLALLA SOUTH THROUGH  EUGENE/SPRINGFIELD TO JUST SOUTH OF COTTAGE GROVE, AND THE WESTERN COLUMBIA RIVER GORGE. A HEAT ADVISORY IS IN EFFECT UNTIL 9 PM TONIGHT FOR THE NORTH OREGON CASCADE FOOTHILLS, THE CASCADE FOOTHILLS IN LANE COUNTY, AND THE UPPER HOOD RIVER VALLEY. A HEAT ADVISORY IS IN EFFECT UNTIL 11 PM TONIGHT FOR EASTERN CURRY COUNTY, JOSEPHINE COUNTY, AND JACKSON COUNTY.

An upper level low pressure trough (Shaded “U” shape) is just offshore and will hold there for another day or so. A ridge of high pressure has been controlling our weather and low pressure will move in off the coast. For the 4th of July it looks like the upper level low will stay to our northwest over the Pacific Ocean and move just a little closer while high pressure that has been stuck from the Great Basin to us will weaken just a bit. That should keep the sunny and warm conditions with us through July 3rd and as the high weakens enough or pushes just a bit to the east we will see the low start to take over a bit returning some clouds and cooling us by Thursday the 4th. The high temperatures will cool enough to notice the difference for the 4th of July Holiday.

Advisories: A HEAT ADVISORY IS IN EFFECT UNTIL 9 PM TUESDAY FOR THE I-5 CORRIDOR FROM PORTLAND THROUGH EUGENE/SPRINGFIELD, THE WESTERN COLUMBIA RIVER GORGE, THE NORTH OREGON CASCADE FOOTHILLS, THE CASCADE FOOTHILLS IN LANE COUNTY, AND THE HOOD RIVER VALLEY. A HEAT ADVISORY IS IN EFFECT UNTIL 11 PM TUESDAY FOR EASTERN CURRY COUNTY, JOSEPHINE COUNTY, AND JACKSON COUNTY.

An upper level low pressure trough (Shaded “U” shape) is just offshore and will hold there for another day or so. A ridge of high pressure has been controlling our weather and low pressure will move in off the coast. For the 4th of July it looks like the upper level low will stay to our northwest over the Pacific Ocean and move just a little closer while high pressure that has been stuck from the Great Basin to us will waken just a it. That should keep the sunny and very warm conditions with us through July 3rd and as the high weakens enough or pushes just a bit to the east we will see the low start to take over a bit returning some clouds and cooling us a bit by Thursday the 4th. The high temperatures will cool enough to notice the difference for the 4th of July Holiday.
