Here is my new weekly weather quiz question. What is the “Thermocline “?
____________
Upper Level High Pressure takes over as the Jet Stream has moved to the south away from us bringing drying and plenty of sunshine through Thanksgiving Day through the weekend. The graphics for days 1-3 show no frontal systems. The graphics for days 3-7 Saturday through Wednesday show no serious frontal activity over the Pacific Northwest through the period, but a complex frontal system will be to our Northwest next Wednesday.
Note: Ski Report: Willamette Pass Ski announced it will be open again Friday November 29th for early season skiing, Hoodoo is not open yet, Mt. Ashland is not open yet.
