An Upper Level Low Pressure Trough (Shaded “U” shape with arrows) slides slowly eastward continuing the flow of colder Arctic air coming through Canada into the Northwest. Add that in the moisture that will be moving in and there’s the chance of some more snow. This time it might actually stick on the ground in the valley. The graphics for days 1-3 show the next frontal system that will be offshore Wednesday. The graphics for days 3-7 show a frontal system that will slide along the Pacific Northwest coast Sunday night through Monday.

Note: With the moisture remaining on the roadways and the cold temperatures you need to watch out for slippery road conditions. This storm most likely will give us a real snowfall down to the valley floor so please drive extra carefully.

An Upper Level Low Pressure Trough (Shaded “U” shape with arrows) slides slowly eastward continuing the flow of colder Arctic air coming through Canada into the Northwest. Add that in the moisture that will be moving in and there’s the chance of some more snow. This time it might actually stick on the grounding the valley. The graphics for days 1-3 show the next frontal system that will be offshore Wednesday. The graphics for days 3-7 show a frontal system that will slide along the Pacific Northwest coast Sunday night through Monday.

Note: With the moisture remaining on the roadways and the cold temperatures you need to watch out for slippery road conditions. Record low temperatures are expected from the east slopes of the Cascades through Central and Eastern Oregon. This storm most likely will give us a real snowfall down to the valley floor so please drive extra carefully.

Here is my weekly weather quiz question for the last time. What is a “Dart Leader?” Here is the correct answer. A Dart Leader is a faint, negatively charged channel that travels more or less directly and continuously from cloud to ground. (It moves down and the lightning flash moves from the ground up.) 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 Level Low Pressure Trough (Shaded “U” shape with arrows) slides slowly eastward bringing us colder Arctic air coming through Canada with northwesterly airflow rushing down on the backside of the low which is also the leading edge of a Ridge of High Pressure. Add that to the moisture the moved in and there’s the chance of some snow. The graphics for days 1-3 show the frontal system that is pushed through Oregon Saturday night and today. You can also see the surface low that slowly drifts over us. The graphics for days 3-7 show a frontal system that will move through the Pacific Northwest  next Sunday.

Note: So far, the Eugene-Springfield area has not received a significant snowfall. That has stayed to our north.
