Here is my weekly weather quiz question for the last time “What is a “PIBAL?” Here is the correct answer.  PIBAL is a Pilot balloon. A small helium-filled meteorological balloon that is tracked as it rises through the atmosphere to determine how wind speed and direction change with altitude.

__________
The Upper Level Low Pressre Trough (“U” shape) approaches the coast. The graphics for days 1-3  show high pressure held on for one more day today. A cold front moves in Sunday afternoon returning the rain and cooler temperatures. The graphics for days 3-7    Wednesday through Sunday show a cold front moving over the Pacific Northwest Thursday and Friday.
