Here is my new weekly weather quiz question. What is a “Texas Hooker “? (No not that kind of hooker.)
____________
An Upper Level Low Pressure Trough (“U” shape) is slowly moving eastward encouraging frontal systems to come our way. The graphics for days 1-3 show the cold front approaching the Pacific Northwest Monday. The graphics for days 3-7 Thursday through Monday show complex frontal system sliding in Thursday and another coming Friday. Yet another front shows up Sunday.
