 Here is my new weekly weather quiz question. “What is “Relative Humidity?

____________

An Upper Level High Pressure Ridge (“Arch” shape ) will be taking over drying us out and giving us serious warming. The graphics for days 1-3  show the frontal system sliding through Pacific Northwest. The graphics for days 3-7    Thursday through Monday show the frontal activity moving across the Pacific Northwest through the period.

Here is my weekly weather quiz question for the last time. “What is a “Red Flag Warning?” Here is the correct answer A Red Flag Warning is a term used by fire-weather forecasters to call attention to limited weather conditions of particular importance that may result in extreme burning conditions. It is issued when it is an on-going event or the fire weather forecaster has a high degree of confidence that Red Flag criteria will occur within 24 hours of issuance. Red Flag criteria occurs whenever a geographical area has been in a dry spell for a week or two, or for a shorter period , if before spring green-up or after fall color, and the National Fire Danger Rating System (NFDRS) is high to extreme and the following forecast weather parameters are forecasted to be met:
1) a sustained wind average 15 mph or greater
2) relative humidity less than or equal to 25 percent and
3) a temperature of greater than 75 degrees F.
In some states, dry lightning and unstable air are criteria. A Fire Weather Watch may be issued prior to the Red Flag Warning.

An Upper Level Low Pressure Trough (“U” shape) is over the Pacific Northwest. The graphics for days 1-3  show a frontal system sliding through Pacific Northwest between Sunday night and Monday. The graphics for days 3-7    Tuesday through Saturday show no frontal systems moving across the Pacific Northwest through the period, but one well to our Northwest next Saturday.
