Trying to publish to my test registry (Verdaccio) but instead being pushed to my Company Registry

Question

After the Verdaccio server starts on port 4000, I try to publish to my local registry by running

npm publish --access=public --json --registry http://localhost:4000 --json

I get the following error that confirms its attempting to publish a version that exists in my companies registry instead of publishing to localhost:4000

I do have my companies registry data in the npmrc. Once I remove it from the npmrc, the package is successfully published to my local Verdaccio server. I was looking in Verdaccio's documentation but didn't find anything. Are there any thing I can do to bypass the npmrc without removing my companies registry information?
