Here is my new weekly weather quiz question. What is “Mackeral Sky? “
________________
An Upper Level Low Pressure Trough (“U” shape) over the Pacific Northwest will keep up the chances for rain. The graphics for days 1-3 show no frontal systems approaching the Pacific Northwest. The graphics for days 3-7 Friday through Tuesday show no major frontal systems moving into Oregon, but one to our northwest next Tuesday.
