Here is my new weekly weather quiz question. “What is a “Rocketsonde?

____________

An Upper Level High Pressure Ridge (“Arch” shape ) is approaching the West Coast. The graphics for days 1-3  show a weak cold front will be moving through Oregon by late today. The graphics for days 3-7     Thursday through Monday show a cold front that will be moving through Oregon next Sunday followed closely by another complex frontal system.

Note: The weather looks pretty nice for the Memorial Day Holiday itself today.

Here is my weekly weather quiz question for the last time. “What is a “Rip Current?” Here is the correct answer. A Rip Current is a relatively small-scale surf-zone current moving away from the beach. Rip currents form as waves disperse along the beach causing water to become trapped between the beach and a sandbar or other underwater feature. The water converges into a narrow, river-like channel moving away from the shore at high speed.

____________

An Upper Level High Pressure Ridge (“Arch” shape ) is approaching the West Coast. The graphics for days 1-3  show a weak cold front will be moving through Oregon by late Monday. The graphics for days 3-7     Wednesday through Sunday show a cold front that will be to the northwest of the Pacific Northwest next Sunday ten moving through.

Note: The weather looks pretty nice for the Memorial Day Holiday itself.

An Upper Level Low Pressure Trough (“U” shape ) is moving away from us as weak High Pressure tries to replace it. The graphics for days 1-3  show a weak cold front will be to our northwest today and falling apart as it attempts to move through Oregon. The graphics for days 3-7     Wednesday through Sunday show a cold front that will push into the Pacific Northwest next Sunday.

Note: The weather looks pretty good for today and the Memorial Day Holiday itself.

Here is my weekly weather quiz question. “What is a “Rip Current?

____________

An Upper Level Low Pressure Trough (“U” shape ) is moving away from us as weak High Pressure tries to replace it. The graphics for days 1-3  show no frontal  systems that moving into or through Oregon, but a cold front will be to our northwest Sunday. The graphics for days 3-7     Monday through Friday show a cold front that will push into the Pacific Northwest between Monday and Tuesday.

Note: The weather looks pretty good for Sunday and the Memorial Day Holiday itself.
