Here is my weekly weather quiz question for the last time. What is a “Jetty?  Here is the correct answer. A Jetty is in hydrologic terms, a structure (e.g.; a pier, or mole of wood or stone) extending into a sea, lake, or river to influence the current or tide or to protect a harbor

An Upper Level Low Pressure Trough (“U” shape) continues to control the weather of the Pacific Northwest. The graphics for days 1-3 show a frontal system approaching the Oregon coast. The graphics for days 3-7 show an increase in complex frontal systems moving our way Tuesday through next Saturday continuing the rain chances.
