Here is my new weekly weather quiz question. What is a “Theodolite “?
____________
Another strong Upper Level Low Pressure Trough (“U” shape) will continue pushing frontal systems to come our way with rain and wind. The strong Bomb Cyclone combined with an Atmospheric River bring rain and strong winds. The graphics for days 1-3 show the frontal system that’s moving into Oregon today. The graphics for days 3-7 Friday through Tuesday show complex frontal activity continuing Friday and Sunday.
