An Upper Level Low Pressure Trough (Shaded “U” shape with blue arrows) will be controlling our weather for the foreseeable future. The graphic for days 1-3 shows the frontal system that moves in and the one moving on to the coast combining to bring back the freezing Winter precipitation for a short time. You can expect just about everything except the kitchen sink to fall from the sky. The graphic for days 3-7 shows more complex frontal systems building up and heading our way. For mountain snow conditions at the local ski areas check out their websites or give them a call.

Here is my weekly weather quiz question for the last time. What is an “Air Mass Thunderstorm?” Here is the correct answer. An Air Mass Thunderstorm: Generally, a thunderstorm not associated with a front or other type of synoptic-scale forcing mechanism. Air mass thunderstorms typically are associated with warm, humid air in the summer months; they develop during the afternoon in response to insolation, and dissipate rather quickly after sunset. They generally are less likely to be severe than other types of thunderstorms, but they still are capable of producing downbursts, brief heavy rain, and (in extreme cases) hail over 3/4 inch in diameter. 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.

Here is my weekly weather quiz question for the last time. What is an “Air Mass Thunderstorm?” Here is the correct answer. An Air Mass Thunderstorm: Generally, a thunderstorm not associated with a front or other type of synoptic-scale forcing mechanism. Air mass thunderstorms typically are associated with warm, humid air in the summer months; they develop during the afternoon in response to insolation, and dissipate rather quickly after sunset. They generally are less likely to be severe than other types of thunderstorms, but they still are capable of producing downbursts, brief heavy rain, and (in extreme cases) hail over 3/4 inch in diameter. 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.
