This is your last chance to answer my weekly weather quiz question and win. There is a way of determining local wind speeds without the use of any meteorological instruments. What is it called and who devised it? Please remember to post your answer as a comment by clicking on “no comments /comments” in the upper right hand portion of this page under the caption, then add your comment. The first person to post the correct answer will win a week of free personalized weather forecasts tailored to your needs. The answer has to be a comment to win. An email answer will not count. Good luck.

A high pressure ridge (“Arch” shape on the orange line) is sliding over thePacific Northwest bringing with it lots of sunshine and warmer temperatures. The weather will be great for the rest of the Lane County Fair that runs through Sunday. A frontal system will drop down on Monday and move through Tuesday bringing some clouds and cooling the temperatures a bit. It will warm back up again then start to cool down a bit as the Eugene Celebration starts next Friday.
