Here is my weekly weather quiz question for the last time. What is a “Geostationary Satellite?”  Here is the correct answer. A Geostationary Satellite is a satellite that rotates at the same rate as the earth, remaining over the same spot above the equator. 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.

Here is my weekly weather quiz question for the last time. What is a “Geostationary Satellite?”  Here is the correct answer. A Geostationary Satellite is a satellite that rotates at the same rate as the earth, remaining over the same spot above the equator. 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) is still in control keeping us in cool weather for a while. The graphics for days 1-3 show the cold front that’s through today. The graphics for days 3-7  show a cold front offshore Wednesday and another frontal system offshore next Saturday and Sunday.
