Here is my weekly weather quiz question for the last time. What is “Offshore Flow?” Here is the correct answer. Offshore Flow Occurs when air moves from land to sea, and is usually associated with dry weather.

__________

Frontal systems are moving through Oregon bringing rain and they will be pushed by Atmospheric Rivers. The graphics for days 1-3 show a cold front pushing through the Pacific Northwest then slowly moving backward to the northwest and becoming stationary. Another complex frontal system will approach the coast Monday. The graphics for days 3-7 Wednesday through Sunday show a very active weather pattern through Thursday night.

Note: Due to the heavy rains an Avalanche warning is in effect for today for Mt. Hood.
