Here is my new weekly weather quiz question. What is “Agglomerate?” Please remember to post your answer at the bottom of this page. The first person to post the correct answer will win a week of free personalized weather forecasts tailored to your needs.  Good luck.

________________

An Upper Level High Pressure Ridge is keeping the precipitation away, but it’s allowing late night/Early AM freezing fog and still well below normal daytime high temperatures. The days 1-3 graphic shows the frontal system that will bring rainfall to the Pacific Northwest Tuesday and Wednesday. An Upper Level Low Pressure Trough (Shaded “U” shape with blue arrows) will help return the advance of frontal systems with precipitation. The graphic for days 3-7 shows more frontal systems heading our way Friday and Sunday into Monday of next week. For mountain snow conditions at the local ski areas check out their websites or give them a call.

An Upper Level High Pressure Ridge is keeping the precipitation away, but it’s allowing late night/Early AM freezing fog. I got bitten by the Friday the 13th curse and instead of clouds and sun and warmer Friday the clouds and fog remained in the Eugene-Springfield area at the southern end of the Willamette Valley. The graphic for days 3-7 shows more frontal systems heading our way through next week. For mountain snow conditions at the local ski areas check out their websites or give them a call.

Here is my weekly weather quiz question for the last time. What is “AFOS?”AFOS is Automation of Field Operations and Services. Computer system linking NWS offices for the transmission of weather data. This system was installed in the early to mid 1980s and it is being replaced by Advanced Weather Interactive Processing System (AWIPS). I’ll have a new weekly weather quiz question for you starting Monday. Please remember to post your answer at the bottom of this page. An email will not suffice. The first person to post the correct answer will win a week of free personalized weather forecasts tailored to your needs.  Good luck.

Here is my weekly weather quiz question for the last time. What is “AFOS?” Please remember to post your answer at the bottom of this page. An email will not suffice. The first person to post the correct answer will win a week of free personalized weather forecasts tailored to your needs.  Good luck.

The Upper level low pressure (Shaded “U” shape with blue arrows) that send moisture our way and its associated surface system are being replaced for a short time by high pressure.  The days 1-3 graphic shows the surface lows and frontal systems that tried to bring rain and snow to us. Other parts of the Pacific Northwest specifically to our North did see the snow, but not in the South Willamette Valley. The graphic for days 3-7 shows no slowdown in frontal systems that will be headed our way early and mid next week. For mountain snow conditions at the local ski areas check out their websites or give them a call.
