Here is my new weekly weather quiz question. What was the earliest recorded meteor shower that resulted in human deaths? Please place your answer as a comment after the forecasts on this page.

_______________

An upper level trough of low pressure (Shaded “U” area with blue arrows) is going to keep  Oregon  under a wet and colder than normal weather pattern.  A frontal system just offshore is poised to move in and bring back more rainy weather. Another frontal system looks like it will give us more serious rain just in time for the Memorial Day Holiday itself. Each day as we get closer I’ll update what the possibilities are.

Advisories: NONE AT THIS TIME.
