Here is my weekly weather quiz question What is “Perihelion?”
_______________
An Atmospheric River guided by an Upper Level Low pressure Trough has been pumping a lot of moisture into California, but luckily not as much into Oregon.  The graphics for days 1-3  show no frontal systems moving into Oregon. The graphics for days 3-7   Friday through Tuesday show complex frontal systems  approaching the Pacific Northwest the pushing through Friday and next Sunday and Monday.

Here is my weekly weather quiz question for the last time  What is the “PDSI?” Here is the correct answer. PDSI is the Palmer Drought Severity Index – an index used to gage the severity of drought conditions by using a water balance equation to track water supply and demand. This index is calculated weekly by the National Weather Service.

An Upper Level High Pressure Ridge (“Arch” shape) has been helping to pump unseasonably warm air over the Pacific Northwest, but that’s going to change.  The graphics for days 1-3  show the complex frontal system that’s fell apart as it moved through Oregon. The graphics for days 3-7   Tuesday through Saturday show the frontal activity that could move into the Pacific Northwest.
Note: A check on the many groundhog predictions Friday shows they all predict an early Spring, But Spencer Butte Bob, My personal Groundhog, did see his shadow this morning (bright sunshine) in Eugene predicting six more weeks of winter. If today’s weather indicates what the rest of Winter will be like then I’ll take it.
