Here is my new weekly weather quiz question. “What is a “Roll Cloud?”
____________
An Upper Level High Pressure Ridge (“Arch” shape ) is weakening and will allow fronts to start moving into Oregon. The graphics for days 1-3 show a frontal system moving into the Pacific Northwest Tuesday. The graphics for days 3-7 Thursday through Monday show a cold front that will be to our northwest Saturday then pushing through the Pacific Northwest between Sunday and next Monday.
