Here is my weekly weather quiz question for the last time. What is the “Aleutian Low?” Here is the correct answer. The Aleutian Low is a semi-permanent, subpolar area of low pressure located in the Gulf of Alaska near the Aleutian Islands. It is a generating area for storms and migratory lows often reach maximum instensity in this area. It is most active during the late fall to late spring. During the summer, it is weaker, retreating towards the North Pole and becoming almost nonexistent. During this time, the North Pacific High pressure system dominates. I’ll have a new weekly weather quiz question for you starting Monday. Please remember to post your answer at the bottom of this page. The first person to post the correct answer will win a week of free personalized weather forecasts tailored to your needs.  Good luck.

An Upper Level Low Pressure Trough (Shaded “U” shape with blue arrows) is losing control over our weather and High Pressure (Shaded “Arch” shape with blue arrows) starts to take over to dry us out and return the sunshine. The graphic for days 1-3 shows no surface frontal systems moving into the Pacific Northwest. The graphic for days 3-7 shows the next fronts to approach us on Wednesday through next Saturday. For mountain snow conditions at the local ski areas check out their websites or give them a call.

An Upper Level Low Pressure Trough (Shaded “U” shape with blue arrows) is controlling our weather for the near future. The graphic for days 1-3 shows the complex frontal system moving through the Pacific Northwest bringing more rain. Upper level HighPressure and surface high pressure combine to bring sunshine and dry us out. The graphic for days 3-7 shows that high pressure taking over for the weekend into the middle of next week keeping us dry for a while.  The next frontal system to attempt to bring us rain will arrive between next Wednesday and Thursday. For mountain snow conditions at the local ski areas check out their websites or give them a call.
