Here is my weekly weather quiz question for the last time. What are “Instrument Flight Rules (IFR)? Here is the correct answer.  Instrument Flight Rules refers to the general weather conditions pilots can expect at the surface and applies to the weather situations at an airport during which a pilot must use instruments to assist take off and landing. IFR conditions for fixed wing aircraft means the minimum cloud ceiling is greater than 500 feet and less than 1,000 feet and/or visibility is greater than 1 mile and less than 3 miles.

An Upper Level High Pressure Ridge  (“Arch” shape) is slowly warming up the Pacific Northwest. There will be frontal activity returning by Friday, but not of the bitter cold airflow nature. The graphics for days 1-3 show our next frontal system moving in today. The graphics for days 3-7 show more frontal activity moving our way Monday through Friday.
