Here is my weekly weather quiz question for the last time. What is a “Tornado Vortex Signature “? Here is the correct answer. A Tornado Vortex Signature is an image of a tornado on the Doppler radar screen that shows up as a small region of rapidly changing wind speeds inside a mesocyclone. The following velocity criteria is normally required for recognition: velocity difference between maximum inbound and outbound (shear) is greater than or equal to 90 knots at less than 30 nmi and is greater than or equal to 70 knots between 30 and 55 nmi. It shows up as a red upside down triangle on the Storm Relative Velocity Display. Existence of a TVS strongly increases the probability of tornado occurrence, but does not guarantee it; therefore, the feature triggering it must be examined closely by the radar operator. A TVS is not a visually observable feature.

An Upper Level High Pressure Ridge (“Arch” shape) is sending moisture to the Pacific Northwest. The graphics for days 1-3 show a frontal system moving through the Pacific Northwest tonight and Saturday. The graphics for days 3-7 Tuesday through Saturday show frontal activity continuing through the period.

Here is my weekly weather quiz question. What is a “Tornado Vortex Signature “?
____________
An (“U” shape) is moving toward the Pacific Northwest. The graphics for days 1-3 show one frontal system moving through the Pacific Northwest and another wetter system following behind it. The graphics for days 3-7 Saturday through Wednesday show a complex frontal system will be pushing into the coast Saturday and Saturday night, then a frontal system will be marching through Monday and Monday night with a complex frontal system just offshore next Thursday.
Note: Ski Report: Willamette Pass, Hoodoo, and Mt. Ashland are all open for the ski season. Check their Web sites for specific mountain conditions and hours of operation.
