Here is my weekly new weather quiz question. What is an “Inversion?

An Upper Level Low Pressure Trough (“U “shape) is allowing moisture in the form of clouds from frontal systems to move over the Pacific Northwest and bringing cold air with it. The graphics for days 1-3 show the frontal system that pushed through Oregon Tuesday and the next one, a backdoor cold front that will drop temperatures even lower. The graphics for days 3-7 show more complex frontal activity moving our way Sunday through next Thursday keeping us wet.

An Upper Level High Pressure Ridge (“Arch “shape) is sitting right over us bringing sunshine and keeping overnight temperatures in the 20s. The graphics for days 1-3 show no major frontal system headed our way. The graphics for days 3-7 show more complex frontal activity moving our way Monday through next Friday returning the rain chances and raising overnight low temperatures.
