Here is my weekly weather quiz question for the last time. What is “Alluvium?” Here is the correct answer. Alluvium: Sediments deposited by erosional processes, usually by streams. I’ll have a new weekly weather quiz question for you starting Monday. Please remember to post your answer at the bottom of this page. An email will not suffice. The first person to post the correct answer will win a week of free personalized weather forecasts tailored to your needs.  Good luck.

An upper level low pressure trough (Shaded “U” shape area with blue arrows) is sending more storms our way.  A frontal system pushes into the Pacific Northwest as you can see on the days 1,2 & 3 graphic bringing colder air and the potential for snow. The graphic for days 3-7 shows the typical parade of Winter-like storms that bring rain and snow. There will be continued snow on the Cascade Passes but snow levels will continue to rise and fall. Willamette Pass, Hoodoo ski area, and Mt. Ashland have all started their ski season. For mountain snow conditions check out their websites or give them a call.

  • A Permanent Health Advisory remains for the South Umpqua River and Lawson Bar. Pools in the bedrock along the rivers edge are known to develop Blue-green Algae (cyanobacterial) blooms that can be harmful to pets and people if accidental ingestion occurs. Signs have been posted along several access areas along the river.
  • A Blue-Green Algae Health Advisory remains in effect for Agency Lake. Agency Lake is located just north of Upper Klamath Lake near Klamath Falls along Highway 97 in Klamath County. Water monitoring on the lake has confirmed the presence of high levels of blue-green algae and associated toxins that can be harmful to people and animals. Swallowing water while swimming or inhaling water droplets as a result of high-speed water activities, such as water skiing and power boating, should be avoided in areas where blooms are identified. Although toxins are not absorbed through the skin, contact with cells from a bloom can cause skin irritation and a red, puffy rash in individuals with skin sensitivities, or those who develop rashes easily.
