Here is my weekly weather quiz question. What is “Longitude? ”
________________
An Upper Level High Pressure Ridge (“Arch” shape) is moving closer to the Pacific coast and will warm us up into next week. The graphics for days 1-3 show no frontal systems approaching the Pacific Northwest. The graphics for days 3-7 Saturday through Wednesday show a frontal system just to our northwest Friday then moving through Oregon Saturday into Sunday with a front to our northwest moving through the Pacific Northwest Tuesday through next Thursday.
