Here is my weekly weather quiz question for the last time. What is  a “ Penumbra?” Here is the correct answer. A Penumbra in solar-terrestrial terms, the sunspot area that may surround the darker umbra or umbrae. It consists of linear bright and dark elements radial from the sunspot umbra. 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.

Weak high pressure slowed things down a bit today. Again upper level low pressure (Shaded “U” shape with blue arrows) takes over. The parade of storms continues as another frontal system pushes in Friday morning. Saturday sees one more frontal system move into the Pacific Northwest. Yet another frontal system shows up just in time for Sunday. This frontal system is set for Tuesday landfall.
