Sorry, no winner this week. Here is my weekly quiz question one more time. What is the coldest temperature ever recorded for Eugene? Your answer should also contain the date on which it occurred. The correct answer is -12 degrees set on December 8, 1972. I’ll have another question for you starting next Monday. The first person to post the correct answer will win a week of free personalized weather forecasts tailored to your needs.
________________
A trough of low pressure (See “U” shape offshore) is moving Eastward away from us. A weak frontal system (moving down from the northwest) will be moving in shortly. Weak high pressure has taken over for a little warming Sunday and Monday, but another low will follow close behind it so don’t look for any dramatic changes in our weather patterns. Another frontal system will be approaching the Pacific Northwest late in the week bringing a chance for more rain.

Advisories: NONE AT THIS TIME.
