Here is my weekly weather quiz question. What is a “Surface Weather Chart “?
____________
An Upper Level Low Pressure Trough (“U” shape) in in control of our weather. The graphics for days 1-3 show the cold front that pushed through Oregon today and another front along the coast that will move through Friday. The graphics for days 3-7 Sunday through Thursday show the front that moves through Monday and another frontal system that be to our northwest next Thursday.
Note:
Even with a late start to the ’24 outdoor burning season, the fall burning season for Eugene, Springfield, Oakridge and their urban growth boundaries (UGBs) ends tomorrow Thursday October 31st at 5pm. Violations for burning during the closed season may result in fines ranging from $50 to $2,500 or more. Outdoor burning may continue for the remainder of Lane County, but residents should verify the daily advisory status to ensure burning is permitted. Residents can check the advisory status by visiting LRAPA’s website or calling the LRAPA daily outdoor burning advisory at 541-726-3976. Coastal residents should call 541-997-1757.

Here is my weekly new weather quiz question. What is a “Surface Weather Chart “?
____________
An Upper Level Low Pressure Trough (“U” shape) takes over. The graphics for days 1-3 show a complex frontal system right along the Oregon coast late Wednesday and Thursday. The graphics for days 3-7 Friday through Tuesday show the frontal system sliding through Friday and Friday night. Then a complex frontal system will be offshore Monday.
Note: Lane County residents will have to wait until this Friday, November 1, 2024, at the earliest for the opening of the fall outdoor burning season. The season is typically scheduled to start on October 1st each year. However, the decision to delay has been jointly made by the Lane County Fire Defense Board and the Oregon Department of Forestry (ODF).

Here is my weekly new weather quiz question. What is a “Surface Weather Chart “?
____________
An Upper Level Low Pressure Trough (“U” shape) takes over. The graphics for days 1-3 show a complex frontal system that moved through Oregon. The graphics for days 3-7 Thursday through Monday show a complex frontal system will slide through Oregon Thursday. Then a complex frontal system will be northeast of us next Monday.
Note: Lane County residents will have to wait until Friday, November 1, 2024, at the earliest for the opening of the fall outdoor burning season. The season is typically scheduled to start on October 1st each year. However, the decision to delay has been jointly made by the Lane County Fire Defense Board and the Oregon Department of Forestry (ODF).

Here is my weekly weather quiz question for the last time. What is a “Super Cell Thunderstorm “? Here is the correct answer. A Supercell Thunderstorm is potentially the most dangerous of the convective storm types. Storms possessing this structure have been observed to generate the vast majority of long-lived strong and violent (F2-F5) tornadoes, as well as downburst damage and large hail. It is defined as a thunderstorm consisting of one quasi-steady to rotating updraft which may exist for several hours. Supercells usually move to the right of the mean wind. These are called “Right Movers” and they are favored with veering winds. Occasionally, these thunderstorms will move to the left of the mean wind. These thunderstorms are called “Left Movers”. These supercells typically don’t last as long as their “Right Mover” cousins and they usually only produce large hail (greater than 3/4 inch in diameter) and severe wind gusts in the excess of 58 miles an hour. Left Movers are favored when you have backing winds.
____________
An Upper Level Low Pressure Trough (“U” shape) takes over. The graphics for days 1-3 show a complex frontal system that moved through Oregon. The graphics for days 3-7 Wednesday through Sunday show a complex frontal system will slide through Oregon Wednesday and Thursday. Then a complex frontal system will be northwest of us next Sunday.
