Here is my weekly weather quiz question for the last time. What are “Nocturnal Thunderstorms?” Here is the correct answer. Nocturnal Thunderstorms are Thunderstorms which develop after sunset. They are often associated with the strengthening of the low level jet and are most common over the Plains states. They also occur over warm water and may be associated with the seaward extent of the overnight land breeze.

_______________

An Upper Level High Pressure Ridge (“Arch” shape) will start some clearing and a warming trend Tuesday. The graphics for days 1-3 show a frontal system as it moves into Oregon Monday. The graphics for days 3-7 Wednesday through Sunday show a frontal system moving into the Pacific Northwest next Sunday.
