Here is my weekly weather quiz question. What is an “Inversion? Here is the correct answer. Inversion(abbrev. INVRN) Is generally, a departure from the usual increase or decrease in an atmospheric property with altitude. Specifically it almost always refers to a temperature inversion, i.e., an increase in temperature with height, or to the layer within which such an increase occurs. An inversion is present in the lower part of a cap.

The graphics for days 1-3 show a slight pause in the frontal activity.  The graphics for days 3-7 show more complex frontal activity moving our way Tuesday through next Saturday giving us chances of getting wet.

An Upper Level Low Pressure Trough (“U “shape) is allowing moisture in the form of clouds from frontal systems to move over the Pacific Northwest and bringing cold air with it. The graphics for days 1-3 show the frontal system that pushed through Oregon Tuesday and the next one, a backdoor cold front that will drop temperatures even lower. The graphics for days 3-7 show more complex frontal activity moving our way Sunday through next Thursday keeping us wet.

_________________

An Upper Level Low Pressure Trough (“U “shape) is allowing moisture in the form of clouds from frontal systems to move over the Pacific Northwest and bringing cold air with it. The graphics for days 1-3 show the frontal system that pushed through Oregon Tuesday and the next one, a backdoor cold front that will drop temperatures even lower. The graphics for days 3-7 show more complex frontal activity moving our way Sunday through next Thursday keeping us wet.
