Here is my weekly weather quiz question for the last time. What is  an“ Ashfall Advisory?”  Here is the correct answer. An Ashfall Advisory is an advisory issued for conditions associated with airborne ash plume resulting in ongoing deposition at the surface. Ashfall may originate directly from a volcanic eruption, or indirectly by wind suspending the ash. I’ll have a new weekly weather quiz question for you starting Monday. The first person to post the correct answer as a comment on this page will win a week of free personalized weather forecasts tailored to your needs.  Good luck.

An Upper Air High Pressure Ridge (Shaded “Arch” shape with blue arrows) has taken over giving us bright sunshine for today and slowly decreasing amounts of sunshine as your Sunday progresses. An Upper Level Low Pressure Trough (Shaded “U” shape with blue arrows) returns the clouds and chances for rain late Sunday into next week. The graphic for days 1-3 shows no frontal systems. The graphic for days 3-7 shows more frontal systems to bring back moisture Tuesday and again Saturday of next week. For mountain snow conditions at the local ski areas check out their websites or give them a call.
