Here is my new weekly weather quiz question. What is a “Neap Tide”?

________________

An Upper Level Low Pressure Trough and surface cold fronts finally brought some rain to the Pacific Northwest. The precipitation has decreased the intensity of the wildfire smoke which can still push into the Pacific Northwest from various areas depending on the wind direction. The graphics for days 1-3 show a frontal system that will moving through Oregon tonight and Monday. The graphics for days 3-7 Thursday through Monday show frontal activity Thursday. Another cold front approaches from the far northwest next Saturday and moving in next Sunday.

Here is my weekly weather quiz question. What is “NCEP”?

________________

An Upper Level Low Pressure Trough will finally bring some rain to the Pacific Northwest. The precipitation should decrease the intensity of the wildfire smoke which can still push into the Pacific Northwest from various areas depending on the wind direction. The graphics for days 1-3 show a frontal system that moved through Oregon. The graphics for days 3-7 Saturday through Wednesday show frontal activity Monday.
