Here is my weekly weather quiz question for the last time. What is “NEXRAD”? Here is the correct answer. NEXRAD is NEXt Generation RADar. A NWS (National Weather Service) network of about 140 Doppler radars operating nationwide.

Upper Level Low Pressure sends a series of frontal systems our way bringing much needed rain. The graphics for days 1-3  show a cold front approaching the coast Monday. The graphics for days 3-7   Wednesday through Sunday show a frontal system that  slides through the Pacific Northwest Wednesday.
