Here is my new weekly weather quiz question. What are “Noctilucent Clouds?”

An Upper Level Low Pressure Trough Brings clouds with drizzle and showers. The graphics for days 1-3  show no frontal systems approaching the Pacific Northwest. The graphics for days 3-7  Friday through Tuesday show a frontal system that will try to move toward the Pacific Northwest from the northwest next Tuesday, then another behind it.

Note: LRAPA has delayed the Fall Outdoor Burning Season until October 15th.

Here is my weekly weather quiz question for the last time. What is “Nimbostratus”? Here is the correct answer.  Nimbostratus  (abbrev. NS)- A cloud of the class characterized by a formless layer that is almost uniformly dark gray; a rain cloud of the layer type, of low altitude, usually below 8000 ft. (2400 m.).

 

An Upper Level High Pressure Ridge will be bringing sunshine and drying conditions. The graphics for days 1-3  show the cold front that moved through northern California and continued southward. The graphics for days 3-7  Tuesday through Saturday show a frontal system that will try to move toward the Pacific Northwest from the north-northeast Friday and next Saturday.

Note: LRAPA has delayed the Fall Outdoor Burning Season until October 15th.
