Here is my weekly weather quiz question. What is a “Surface Weather Chart “?
____________
An Upper Level Low Pressure Trough (“U” shape) in in control of our weather. The graphics for days 1-3 show the cold front that moves through Saturday. The graphics for days 3-7 Monday through Friday show the front that moves through Monday and another frontal system that be to our northwest next Thursday and moving in next Friday..
Note:
Don’t forget: Daylight time ends and Standard time begins at 2:00 am Sunday. Fall Back at bedtime Saturday night by turning your clocks back one hour at bedtime. The authorities suggest that you test your smoke detectors, CO detectors, and your Radon detector (if you have one) to be sure they are in good working order. Replace batteries if necessary or the whole detector if necessary.
