Why High Pressure Creates Low Clouds Over Pacific Northwest Also, Latest Forecast
My new podcast answers a question many people have asked:
Why does high pressure create low clouds over the Northwest?
One such situation occurred this week, as illustrated by Tuesday afternoon satellite imagery below. Puget Sound was included, as was the Willamette Valley. Low clouds are also clear offshore.
High pressure drives low clouds in many ways…all explained in the podcast.
My podcast also provides a weather forecast for this week: a pretty benign situation.
Most notable will be the cool morning temperatures as a variable arctic air mass sweeps over the area. The low this morning was in the 20s for western Washington and in the teen and single digits for eastern Washington (see below for Sunday morning minimums).
Temperatures are even colder than expected tomorrow morning, followed by slow warming Tuesday through Thursday.
