Here is my weekly weather quiz questions. This is a “different” kind of question. Which President of the United States holds the record for the coldest and the warmest inauguration day? If you know when (the dates) you’ll get an extra round of applause. Please post your answer as a comment after these forecasts. The first person to post the correct answer will win one free week of free personalized weather forecasts tailored to your needs. Good luck.

An upper level low (See the concentric circles in the Gulf of Alaska) will be bringing in a few more clouds and cooler temperatures again most of this week, warming a bit by the 4th of July Holiday. The large upper level trough of low pressure (“U” shaped yellow line) is moving closer to the Oregon coast which will mean more onshore flow that will increase the clouds and decrease the temperatures.

Advisories: NONE AT THIS TIME.
