Here is my weekly weather quiz question for the last time. What is  an “Occluded Front?” Here is the correct answer.  An Occluded Front is a composite of two fronts, formed as a cold front overtakes a warm or quasi-stationary front. Two types of occlusions can form depending on the relative coldness of the air behind the cold front to the air ahead of the warm or stationary front. A cold occlusion results when the coldest air is behind the cold front and a warm occlusion results when the coldest air is ahead of the warm front.

__________

A cold front has changed our weather. The graphics for days 1-3  show the frontal system pushing through Pacific Northwest . The graphics for days 3-7   Wednesday through Sunday show a cold front slides in Wednesday and then another front tries to come in through the back door (moving NE to SW) next Saturday.

Here is my weekly weather quiz question for the last time. What is  an “Occluded Front?” Here is the correct answer.  An Occluded Front is a composite of two fronts, formed as a cold front overtakes a warm or quasi-stationary front. Two types of occlusions can form depending on the relative coldness of the air behind the cold front to the air ahead of the warm or stationary front. A cold occlusion results when the coldest air is behind the cold front and a warm occlusion results when the coldest air is ahead of the warm front.

__________

A cold front is changing our weather. The graphics for days 1-3  show the frontal system that pushed through Pacific Northwest Wednesday and the next coming Saturday. The graphics for days 3-7   Tuesday through Saturday show a cold front slides in Wednesday and then another front tries to come in through the back door (moving NE to SW) next Saturday.

Here is my weekly weather quiz question. What is  an “Occluded Front?”

_______________

  • AN AIR STAGNATION ADVISORY IS IN EFFECT UNTIL 11 AM MST SATURDAY FOR THE OREGON LOWER TREASURE VALLEY.

__________

We’re caught between two low pressure areas.  The graphics for days 1-3  show the frontal system that pushed through Pacific Northwest Wednesday and the next coming Saturday. The graphics for days 3-7   Sunday through Thursday show the front that will have moved through Saturday night and Sunday. A cold front slides in Wednesday with another complex frontal system developing offshore next Thursday.
