_______________
Due to the Labor Day Holiday today my weekly weather quiz question will be presented starting Tuesday.
________________
Hope you get to enjoy the beautiful weather for this Labor Day Holiday today. Be safe, don’t drink and drive or drink and boat. It will be slightly cooler but remember to drink plenty of water and get to a cool location if you get overheated.
________________
Advisories: None at this time.
________________
We will be staying under a strengthening high pressure ridge (“Arch” shape covering the Pacific Northwest) for the week. A little onshore flow today from a weak upper level disturbance may cool us down just a touch, but the ridge will get stronger Tuesday assuring that we will have a hot week.
