Here is my weekly weather quiz question for the last time. What is “ablation ?” Now here is the correct answer. Ablation is depletion of snow and ice by melting and evaporation. 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.

An upper level low  (Shaded area over  Washington and Oregon) will move to the east away from us. High pressure will follow to sweep the clouds and moisture away for your Sunday. A frontal system will move in by Tuesday bringing more moisture ahead of it and with it.

An upper level high pressure ridge  (Shaded “Arch” shape with blue arrows) continues to move eastward over us. A warm front has moved northward through the Pacific Northwest from the south. It is moving slowly and even becoming stationary at times. Now that the warmer air has begun to spread over us look for slow warming for the next few days.
