Here is my weekly weather quiz question for the last time. What is  “Anomalous Propagation?” Here is the correct answer. ANOMALOUS PROPAGATION (AP): non-standard atmospheric temperature or moisture gradients will cause all or part of the radar beam to propagate along a non-normal path. When non-standard index-of-refraction distributions prevail, “abnormal” or “anomalous” propagation occurs. When abnormal downward bending occurs, it is called “superrefraction.” If the beam is refracted downward sufficiently, it will illuminate the ground and return signals to the radar from distances further than is normally associated with ground targets. The term “subrefraction” is applied when there is abnormal upward bending of the radar beam. Please remember to post your answer at the bottom of this page. I’ll have a new weekly weather quiz question for you starting Monday. The first person to post the correct answer will win a week of free personalized weather forecasts tailored to your needs.  Good luck.

For mountain snow conditions at the local ski areas check out their websites or give them a call.

An Upper Level High (Shaded “Arch” shape with blue arrows) will dry us out for a short time. The graphic for days 1-3 shows another low moving southward along the Pacific Coast Sunday. The graphic for days 3-7 shows frontal movement a week from today bringing colder air from the North to the Pacific Northwest. For mountain snow conditions at the local ski areas check out their websites or give them a call.
