No winner this week. Here is my weekly weather quiz question for the last time. What is the difference between the “Visible” satellite view and the “Enhanced Infrared” satellite view? Also, how does that difference help forecast the weather over Western Oregon? Here are the correct answers. Visible Satellite Imagery uses reflected sunlight (this is actually reflected solar radiation) to see things in the atmosphere and on the Earth’s surface. Clouds and fresh snow are excellent reflectors, so they appear white on the imagery. Clouds can be distinguished from snow, because clouds move and snow does not move. Meanwhile, the ground reflects less sunlight, so it appears black on the imagery. The satellite uses its 0.55 to 0.75 micrometer (um) channel to detect this reflected sunlight. Since this imagery relies on reflected imagery, it cannot be used during night. Infrared Satellite Imagery senses surface and cloud top temperatures by measuring the wavelength of electromagnetic radiation emitted from these objects. This energy is called “infrared”. High clouds are very cold, so they appear white. Mid-level clouds are somewhat warmer, so they will be a light gray shade. Low cloud are warmer still, so they appear as a dark shade of gray or black. Often, low clouds are the same temperature as the surrounding terrain and cannot be distinguished at all. The satellite picks up this infrared energy between 10.5 and 12.6 micrometer (um) channels. I’ll have a new weekly weather quiz question for you Monday. The Visible Satellite image also picks up the low clouds and dense fog that can get stuck in the South Willamette Valley so comparing the two satellite views can help determine if the fog and low clouds are dissipating. 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:

A NEW Blue-Green Algae warning has been issued for Tenmile Lakes in Coos County. A Blue-Green Algae warning has been lifted for Walterville Pond, Dorena Reservoir and Dexter Reservoir,  but continues for Fern Ridge Reservoir and  at Devils Lake. 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.

________________

An upper level low will be moving over us bringing back the chance of showers. A frontal system will slide into the Pacific Northwest enhancing the chance of showers.

________________

Forecast for the Southern and lower Mid Willamette Valley including Eugene-Springfield and Albany-Corvallis:

• Partly cloudy this evening, clouds increasing to mostly cloudy with a slight (20%) chance of rain developing late, rain likely (60%) very late tonight (under 0.10 in. of rain possible).

Here is my new weekly weather quiz question. What is the difference between the “Visible” satellite view and the “Enhanced Infrared” satellite view? Also, how does that difference help forecast the weather over Western Oregon? 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.

ADVISORIES:

A FROST ADVISORY IS IN EFFECT FROM 2 AM UNTIL 8 AM FRIDAY FOR EASTERN CURRY COUNTY, JOSEPHINE COUNTY, AND JACKSON COUNTY.

A Blue-Green Algae warning has been lifted for Dorena Reservoir and Dexter Reservoir,  but continues for Fern Ridge Reservoir, Walterville Pond, and farther away at Devils Lake. 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.

An upper level low pressure trough is moving slowly eastward away from Oregon.. Next a high pressure ridge (Shaded “Arch” shape) will be taking over drying us out and warming us up.
