Here’s my weekly weather quiz question for the last time. Who came up with the “Full Moon” names? Congratulations to Bonnie Williams. Your answer: ”Native North Americans were mostly responsible for the names of the full moons. Most of them reflect some aspect of life as they knew it living closely with nature”. was spot on correct. If you would like to know more about the Full Moon names just go to the The Old Farmer’s Almanac Website. I’ll have another weather weekly weather quiz question for you starting next Monday. Please post your answer as a comment by clicking on “no 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.

The upper air flow has switched more from the northwest cutting off the heavy moisture flow. One last disturbance moved southward away from us and taking the remaining moisture with it and you can see a surface high pressure area moving toward the West Coast. An upper level high pressure ridge (“Arch”shape in the jet stream) will build in over us and that means it will dry out for a while. Remember that, particularly this time of the year, when it’s not raining it is usually fogging.
