Here is my weekly weather quiz question. What is  an “Occluded Front?”

_______________

We’re caught between two low pressure areas.  The graphics for days 1-3  show the frontal system that pushed through Pacific Northwest Wednesday. The graphics for days 3-7   Sunday through Thursday show the front that will have moved through Saturday night and Sunday. A cold front slides in Wednesday with another complex frontal system developing offshore next Thursday.

Here is my weekly weather quiz question for the last time. What is  “NWR?” Here is the correct answer.  NWR Stands for NOAA Weather Radio – “the voice of the National Weather Service” – NOAA Weather Radio broadcasts National Weather Service warnings, watches, forecasts and other hazard information 24 hours a day. It is provided as a public service by NOAA. The NOAA Weather Radio network has more than 480 stations in the 50 states and near adjacent coastal waters, Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands and U.S. Pacific Territories.

It is provided as a public service by NOAA. The NOAA Weather Radio network has more than 480 stations in the 50 states and near adjacent coastal waters, Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands and U.S. Pacific Territories.
