An upper level high pressure ridge (Shaded “Arch” shape) had been sitting over us keeping storms away. The ridge has flattened out enough to be called a “dirty ridge” and it allowed a frontal system to nose its way through into Oregon with the warm front moving through and the cold front washing out. The cold front is not a rain producer, but it will cool down the temperatures. We will see dry weather today through Thursday with a new frontal system returning the rain Friday. Skiers- Hoodoo is still operating (closed Tuesdays & Wednesdays), Willamette Pass (closed – opening again 1/10 & 1/11), and Mt. Ashland (closed, grooming now, decision to open will be made Thursday). Check their websites for conditions and specific schedules.

Sorry no winner this week. Here is my weekly weather quiz question for the last time. What is an “Omega High?” No, it has nothing to do with recent Oregon legislation. Try again. Here is the correct answer. An Omega High is a warm high aloft which has become displaced and is on the polarward side of the jet stream. It frequently occurs in the late winter and early spring in the Northern Hemisphere. The name comes from its resemblance to the Greek letter, Omega, when analyzed on upper air charts. It is an example of a blocking high. (It can act like a protective barrier keeping storms from coming through to us.) 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 high pressure ridge (Shaded “Arch” shape) had been sitting over us keeping storms away. The ridge has flattened out enough to be called a “dirty ridge” and it will allow a frontal system to nose its way through into Oregon with the warm front already moving through. We will see sunshine and dry weather Tuesday and Wednesday with a new frontal system returning the rain Thursday. Good new skiers! Hoodoo (closed Tuesdays & Wednesdays), Willamette Pass (closed Mondays & Tuesdays), and Mt. Ashland (closed Tuesdays & Wednesdays) are open for your skiing pleasure. Check their websites for conditions and specific schedules.

Sorry no winner this week. Here is my weekly weather quiz question for the last time. What is an “Omega High?” No, it has nothing to do with recent Oregon legislation. Try again. Here is the correct answer. An Omega High is a warm high aloft which has become displaced and is on the polarward side of the jet stream. It frequently occurs in the late winter and early spring in the Northern Hemisphere. The name comes from its resemblance to the Greek letter, Omega, when analyzed on upper air charts. It is an example of a blocking high. (It can act like a protective barrier keeping storms from coming through to us.) 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 high pressure ridge (Shaded “Arch” shape) had been keeping our airflow from the north spreading much colder air over the Pacific Northwest. The airflow is shifting to onshore as the ridge flattens out and is warming us up to more normal temperatures. Good new skiers! Hoodoo is now open and Willamette Pass is opening this weekend. Mt. Ashland has already been in operation.

An upper level high pressure ridge (Shaded “Arch” shape) has been keeping our airflow from the north spreading much colder air over the Pacific Northwest. The airflow is slowly shifting to onshore as the ridge flattens out and is warming us up to more normal temperatures. Good new skiers! Hoodoo is now open and Willamette Pass is opening this weekend. Mt. Ashland has already been in operation.
