Here is my new weekly weather quiz question. What is a “Mountainado? ”
________________

An Upper Level Low Pressure Trough (“U” shape) keeps our weather pattern stable with normal temperatures. The graphics for days 1-3  show a cold front pushing through the Pacific Northwest Wednesday and T.  The graphics for days 3-7   Friday through Tuesday show a frontal system well offshore through next Tuesday. So far the wildfire smoke has been staying in Eastern Lane County, but if the winds shift that might not be the case.

Eugene/Springfield: The Air Quality Index is 31 in the Good category measuring Ozone.

HEALTH ADVISORIES:

  • A PUBLIC HEALTH ADVISORY HAS BEEN ISSUED FOR UNSAFE LEVELS OF FECAL BACTERIA IN OCEAN WATERS AT SEAL ROCK BEACH IN LINCOLN COUNTY. PEOPLE SHOULD AVOID DIRECT CONTACT WITH THE WATER IN THIS AREA UNTIL THE ADVISORY IS LIFTED. UNSAFE LEVELS OF FECAL BACTERIA CAN CAUSE DIARRHEA, STOMACH CRAMPS, SKIN RASHES, UPPER RESPIRATORY INFECTIONS, AND OTHER ILLNESSES. CHILDREN, ELDERLY, AND THOSE WITH A COMPROMISED IMMUNE SYSTEM SHOULD USE EXTRA CAUTION AS THEY ARE MORE VULNERABLE TO TO ILLNESSES FROM WATERBORNE BACTERIA. VISITORS SHOULD AVOID WADING IN AREA CREEKS, POOLS OF WATER ON THE BEACH, OR IN DISCOLORED WATER, AND STAY CLEAR OF WATER RUNOFF FLOWING INTO THE OCEAN. LEVELS OF FECAL BACTERIA TEND TO BE HIGHER IN THESE TYPES OF WATER SOURCES.
  • A RECREATIONAL USE HEALTH ADVISORY IS IN EFFECT FOR THE WILLAMETTE RIVER NEAR WILLAMETTE COVE IN MULTNOMAH COUNTY DUE TO THE PRESENCE OF A CYANOBACTERIA BLOOM. PEOPLE SHOULD AVOID SWIMMING AND HIGH SPEED WATER ACTIVITIES, SUCH AS WATER SKIING OR POWER BOATING, IN AREAS OF THE LAKE AND SLOUGH WHERE BLOOMS ARE, AS THE MAJOR ROUTE OF EXPOSURE IS INGESTION OF WATER. TOXINS ARE NOT ABSORBED THROUGH THE SKIN, HOWEVER, THOSE WITH SKIN SENSITIVITIES MAY GET A PUFFY RED RASH. THE OREGON HEALTH AUTHORITY ENCOURAGES PEOPLE TO VISIT THE AREA AND ENJOY ACTIVITIES SUCH AS FISHING, CAMPING, HIKING, BILKING, PICNICKING, BIRD WATCHING, CANOEING, AND KAYAKING. BOATING IS SAFE AS LONG AS SPEEDS DO NOT CREATE EXCESSIVE WATER SPRAY. SPRAYS COULD LEAD TO THE RISK OF INHALING CYANOTOXINS.DO NOT DRINK THE WATER.

Here is my weekly weather quiz question for the last time. What is a “Monsoon? ” Here is the correct answer. A Monsoon is a thermally driven wind arising from differential heating between a land mass and the adjacent ocean that reverses its direction seasonally.

An Upper Level Low Pressure Trough (“U” shape) keeps our weather pattern stable with normal temperatures. The graphics for days 1-3  show a cold front pushing through the Pacific Northwest Monday. The graphics for days 3-7   Wednesday through Sunday show no frontal activity pushing into or through Oregon during the period until a front shows up to our northwest Wednesday through next Friday.

Here is my weekly weather quiz question for the last time. What is a “Monsoon? ” Here is the correct answer. A Monsoon is a thermally driven wind arising from differential heating between a land mass and the adjacent ocean that reverses its direction seasonally.
________________

An Upper Level Low Pressure Trough (“U” shape) keeps our weather pattern stable with normal temperatures. The graphics for days 1-3  show a cold front pushing through the Pacific Northwest Monday. The graphics for days 3-7   Wednesday through Sunday show no frontal activity pushing into or through Oregon during the period until a front shows up to our northwest Wednesday through next Friday. So far the smoke has been staying in Eastern Lane County, but if the winds shift that might not be the case.
