Here is my new weekly weather quiz question. What is a “Tail Cloud “?
____________
An Upper Level Low Pressure Trough (“U” shape) is still in control of our weather. The graphics for days 1-3 show the cold front that moves through the Pacific Northwest today. The graphics for days 3-7 Thursday through Monday show the frontal system that be to our northwest Friday, then move in Saturday and Sunday and another front follows next Monday.
In case you forgot to check 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.
