Here is my weekly weather quiz question for the last time. What is the “Spring Tide?” Here is the correct answer. A Spring Tide is a tide higher than normal which occurs around the time of the new and full moon.
____________
An Upper Level High Pressure Ridge (“Arch” shape) is still heating us up to well above normal temperatures. The graphics for days 1-3 show no frontal activity through the period until a cold front will be offshore Sunday. The graphics for days 3-7 Tuesday through Saturday show a cold front moving through between Tuesday and Wednesday.

Here is my weekly weather quiz question. What is the “Spring Tide?”
____________
An Upper Level High Pressure Ridge (“Arch” shape) will be following closely behind the Upper Level Low Pressure Trough (“U” shape) that’s moved away from us. The graphics for days 1-3 show no frontal activity through the period. The graphics for days 3-7 Sunday through Thursday show a cold front falling apart as t hits the coast Saturday, then a frontal system will be moving through the coast then inland next Monday and Tuesday.
Note: Again the high temperature Wednesday in Eugene didn’t reach the forecast high of 95 due to some clouds and a thick smoky haze which covered the sky over the South Willamette Valley.

Here is my weekly weather quiz question. What is the “Spring Tide?”
____________
An Upper Level High Pressure Ridge (“Arch” shape) will be following closely behind the Upper Level Low Pressure Trough (“U” shape) that’s moved away from us. The graphics for days 1-3 show no frontal activity through the period. The graphics for days 3-7 Saturday through Wednesday show a cold front falling apart as t hits the coast Saturday, then a frontal system will be moving through the coast then inland next Monday and Tuesday.
Note: Again the high temperature today in Eugene didn’t reach the forecast high of 95 due to some clouds and a thick smoky haze which covered the sky over the South Willamette Valley.

Here is my weekly new weather quiz question. What is the “Spring Tide?”
____________
An Upper Level High Pressure Ridge (“Arch” shape) continues moving eastward as Upper Level Low Pressure (“U” shape) takes over. The graphics for days 1-3 show a cold front sliding through Oregon today. The graphics for days 3-7 Thursday through Monday show a frontal system approaching the coast next Monday.
Note: Sorry, my forecast for sunshine after the clouds cleared today just didn’t work out. Cloudy and chilly were the result of Mother Nature’s plan not mine.
