Here is my new weekly weather quiz question. What is “Sublimation”?
____________
The Jet Stream Winds help push fronts our way. The graphics for days 1-3 show a cold frontal system moving into Oregon today and Tuesday. The graphics for days 3-7 Thursday through Monday show a complex frontal system sliding through Sunday and next Monday.
Note: Lane County residents will have to wait until Friday, November 1, 2024, at the earliest for the opening of the fall outdoor burning season. The season is typically scheduled to start on October 1st 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).
