Here is my weekly weather quiz question for the last time. What is the “Photosphere?” Here is the correct answer. The Photosphere is the intensely bright portion of the sun visible to the unaided eye; the “surface” of the sun. Reaching temperatures estimated at about 11,000 degrees Fahrenheit, it is the portion of the sun’s atmosphere which emits continuous electromagnetic radiation.

An Upper Level High Pressure Ridge will helped keep out the rain for a short while. Now it’s back to rain.The graphics for days 1-3  show a frontal system approaching the coast from the southwest. The graphics for days 3-7   Tuesday through Saturday show active weather with complex frontal systems  approaching active over the Pacific Ocean moving toward the Pacific Northwest.
