Here is my weekly weather quiz question. What is “tailwater height?” 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 strong upper level low (Shaded “U” shape with blue arrows) is sending another frontal system into the Pacific Northwest. The warm front came first to be followed by the cold front. A complex frontal system will move in early next week. Don’t forget Halloween is tomorrow and there is a pretty good chance it will be raining. Daylight Saving Time ends at 2:00 AM Sunday so you’ll have to “Fall Back” by turning your clock back one hour at bedtime Saturday night.
