Sorry, no winner this week. Here is my weekly weather quiz question for the last time. What is a “waterspout?” Here is the correct answer. A Waterspout In general, is a tornado occurring over water. Specifically, it normally refers to a small, relatively weak rotating column of air over water beneath a Cb or towering cumulus cloud. Waterspouts are most common over tropical or subtropical waters.
The exact definition of waterspout is debatable. In most cases the term is reserved for small vortices over water that are not associated with storm-scale rotation (i.e., they are the water-based equivalent of landspouts). But there is sufficient justification for calling virtually any rotating column of air a waterspout if it is in contact with a water surface. I’ll have a new weekly weather quiz question for you 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.

An upper level low (Shaded “U” shape) is positioned perfectly to keep the storm going. Our airflow is coming from the north-northwest bringing much colder air and the chance for more snow. A frontal system is producing more precipitation in the form of sleet and freezing rain. Another low pressure center with its associated frontal systems is headed our way. The warm front will keep increasing our temperatures and slowly melting away the ice and snow because the airflow is the “Pineapple Express” coming from Hawaii. Another frontal system will approach the Pacific Northwest Tuesday.

An upper level low (Shaded “U” shape) will be moving away from us as a high pressure ridge (Shaded “Arch” shape) will move toward the coast. Our airflow is coming from the north-northwest bringing an upper level low disturbance, much colder air, and the chance for some snow flurries. A frontal system will be headed toward the Pacific coast Saturday increasing the chance for rain or snow.

An upper level low (Shaded “U” shape) will be moving away from us as a high pressure ridge (Shaded “Arch” shape) will move toward the coast early in the week and start to dry us out again, but we’ll also get colder. Willamette Pass was open over the weekend with limited operations due to the low amount of snow. Hoodoo and Mt. Ashland remain closed until significant snow falls again. A frontal system dropped down on us from the northeast. That is called a “back door cold front” because it didn’t come from the usual northwesterly or westerly direction, but sagged down from the northeast dragging with it colder air from the interior of Canada. A complex set of frontal systems will be headed toward the Pacific coast next Monday.
