An Upper Level High Pressure Ridge is moving eastward to be followed by Low Pressure allowing for some cooling. The graphics for days 1-3  show a cold front moving through the Pacific Northwest overnight and Tuesday. The graphics for days 3-7   Thursday through Monday show the frontal activity Sunday and Monday with a complex frontal system to our northwest Monday.

Here is my weekly weather quiz question for the last time. What is “NESDIS”? Here is the correct answer. NESDIS is the National Environmental Satellite, Data, and Information Service. NESDIS collects, processes, stores, analyzes, and disseminates various types of hydrologic, meteorologic, and oceanic data. NESDIS is also responsible for the development of analytical and descriptive products so as to meet the needs of it’s users.

NESDIS collects, processes, stores, analyzes, and disseminates various types of hydrologic, meteorologic, and oceanic data. NESDIS is also responsible for the development of analytical and descriptive products so as to meet the needs of it’s users.
