Here is my weekly weather quiz question. What is a “Land Breeze? 

_________________

An Upper Level Low Pressure Trough (“U” shape) is sending frontal systems our way and still even more moisture. The graphics for days 1-3 show a complex frontal system, warm front first followed by a cold front. The graphics for days 3-7  Sunday through next Thursday show the continuing series of complex frontal systems that will slide into the Pacific Northwest through the period.
