Here is my weekly weather quiz question. “What is a “Polar Front?”

__________
An Upper Level High Pressure Ridge (“Arch” shape) will be bringing us colder air from the Northwest. The graphics for days 1-3  show a cold front moving through Oregon Wednesday. The graphics for days 3-7    Friday through Tuesday show a cold front moving over the Pacific Northwest Friday. A cold front shown along the coast next Tuesday will be sliding in.
