Here is my new weekly weather quiz question for the last time. What is a “Storm Surge?”
____________
An Upper Level High Pressure is still in charge of our weather pattern, The graphics for days 1-3 show a cold front just offshore Tuesday. The graphics for days 3-7 Thursday through Monday show a weak cold front that moved through the Pacific Northwest Wednesday. Then a complex frontal system will be offshore and moving in Friday and Friday night.
Note: Lane County residents will have to wait until Tuesday, October 15, 2024, at the earliest for the opening of the fall outdoor burning season. The season is typically scheduled to start on October 1 each year. However, the decision to delay has been jointly made by the Lane County Fire Defense Board and the Oregon Department of Forestry (ODF).
