Here is my weekly weather quiz question. What is a “Tornado Family “?
____________
An Upper Level High Pressure Ridge (“Arch” shape) still effects the Pacific Northwest. The graphics for days 1-3 show a complex frontal system moving over Oregon tonight and Saturday with another front close behind it. The graphics for days 3-7 Monday through Friday show surface high pressure Tuesday through Wednesday, then a complex frontal system slides in next Thursday.
Note: Ski Report: Willamette Pass Ski announced it is open now for early season skiing every day of the week starting Tuesdays, Hoodoo will be opening open 9am til 4pm today through December 8th, Mt. Ashland announced opening day will be today. Check their Web sites for specific mountain conditions and hours of operation.

Here is my weekly weather quiz question for the last time. What is the “Thermocline “? Here is the correct answer. The Thermocline : As one descends from the surface of the ocean, the temperature remains nearly the same as it was at the surface, but at a certain depth temperature starts decreasing rapidly with depth. This boundary is called the thermocline. In studying the tropical Pacific Ocean, the depth of 20ºC water (“the 20ºC isotherm”) is often used as a proxy for the depth of the thermocline. Along the equator, the 20ºC isotherm is typically located at about 50 m depth in the eastern Pacific, sloping downwards to about 150 m in the western Pacific.
____________
The Jet stream is still sending cold air southward into the Pacific Northwest producing cold overnight temperatures and cooler than normal high temperatures. The graphics for days 1-3 show no frontal systems. The graphics for days 3-7 Wednesday through Sunday show no serious frontal activity over the Pacific Northwest until a cold front pushes through between Saturday and next Sunday.
Note: Ski Report: Willamette Pass Ski announced it is open now for early season skiing every day of the week, Hoodoo will be opening open 9am til 4pm Sunday then December 5-8., Mt.
