Here is my weekly weather quiz question. What is a “Tornado Vortex Signature “?
____________
An Upper Level High Pressure Ridge (“Arch” shape) is moving toward the Pacific Northwest as the Upper Level Low Pressure leaves.The graphics for days 1-3 show a surface low and a cold frontal systems sliding southward along the California coast. 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 Wednesday.
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.

____________
An Upper Level High Pressure Ridge (“Arch” shape) is moving toward the Pacific Northwest as the Upper Level Low Pressure leaves.The graphics for days 1-3 show no frontal systems moving into or over Oregon through the period. The graphics for days 3-7 Thursday through Monday show a complex frontal system sliding in Thursday. A complex frontal system will be pushing into the coast Saturday and Saturday night, then a frontal system will be approaching the coast next Monday.
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.
