Title:
The Unique Dynamics of Aviation Weather in the Pacific Northwest
Topic:
Review Local Weather at this Month's Second Saturday
Speaker(s):
Meteorologist Rebecca Muessle, National Weather Service
Brief Description:
Pacific Northwest pilots are familiar with our seasonal weather patterns — hot, dry summers that are followed by a parade of storm fronts during the winter months, and then a spring flying season with a mix of VFR and rainy days. At this month's Second Saturday Seminar, National Weather Service Meteorologist Rebecca Muessle will drop by to discuss Pacific Northwest Weather. Rebecca holds degrees from Portland State University and the University of North Dakota, and she was a forecaster with the NWS in Anchorage, Alaska for two years before returning to Oregon. At this month's event she will discuss weather patterns in our flying region, and specifically how local pilots can use forecasts for effective flight planning. If you're getting ready for spring and summer flying, don't miss this one!
