Here is my new weekly weather quiz question. What is the “Magnetosphere? ”
________________
Upper Level High Pressure (“Arch” shape) to our Northwest and Low pressure over us will keep things the same. The graphics for days 1-3 show a frontal system approaching and then moving through the Pacific Northwest Friday. The graphics for days 3-7 Saturday through Wednesday show a cold front pushing into the Pacific Northwest Saturday and next Sunday.
