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 no frontal systems sliding through Oregon through the period until a cold front slides in by this morning. The graphics for days 3-7 Thursday through Monday show no frontal systems pushing into the Pacific Northwest through the period.
Note: We’re having really nice weather for the Labor Day Holiday.

Here is my weekly weather quiz question for the last time. What is the “Solar Wind?” Here is the correct answer. Solar Wind is the outward flux of solar particles and magnetic fields from the sun. Typically, solar wind velocities are near 350 km/s.
____________
An Upper Level High Pressure Ridge continues the warming. The graphics for days 1-3 show no frontal systems sliding through Oregon through the period until a cold front slides in between tonight and Monday morning. The graphics for days 3-7 Wednesday through Sunday show no frontal systems pushing into the Pacific Northwest through the period.
Note: We’re having really nice weather for the Labor Day Holiday.
