California Put Up $1 Million to Watch the Coast Through El Niño. Nobody on the Mendocino Coast Asked for Any of It.

The last time the ocean off Northern California looked like this, a marine heat wave and an El Niño wiped out most of the North Coast’s bull kelp, and the state’s own staff report says this year closely matches that stretch from 2014 to 2016. The California...

Flood risks rise on SF's Embarcadero

Unusually high tides are overflowing onto SF's Embarcadero, raising concerns about more severe flooding during winter storms. Why it matters: Higher sea levels combined with historic winter storms could flood waterfront roads, damage infrastructure, and disrupt low-lying neighborhoods, KQED reports . Catch up quick: On Oct. 25, high tides flooded the Embarcadero , cutting off parts of Pier 14 and closing sections of the sidewalk and bike lane despite calm weather. SF's average sea level reached 12.4 inches above NOAA predictions in October, the largest monthly difference on record. More extreme tides are expected around Thanksgiving and Christmas. How it works: Ocean and atmospheric conditions are raising coastal water levels even before winter storms arrive . El Niño-driven Kelvin waves are pulses of warm water that travel east across the Pacific before moving north along the West Coast, capable of raising coastal sea levels by 6 to 12 inches , per NOAA. This added rise can worsen flooding when combined with king tides, marine heat waves, and storm surges, according to KQED . Flashback: Past El Niño and winter storms show how quickly conditions can overwhelm the waterfront. In February 1998 , high winds, heavy rain, and elevated sea levels

Minor changes tomorrow, major changes by the weekend

Patchy fog and cool temperatures will kick off our Bay Area Tuesday with sunshine and unseasonably mild to warm temperatures for the afternoon. Highs are expected to climb 5 to 10 degrees above average, making for a pleasant stretch of weather through the middle of the week. Despite the sunshine, coastal concerns remain. A Coastal Flood Advisory continues for coastal communities through Tuesday afternoon, while bayside communities remain under an advisory through Friday. Elevated tides are increasing the risk of minor coastal flooding, especially during high tide. Residents in low-lying shoreline areas should be prepared for possible water inundation. Looking ahead, the quiet weather pattern is expected to change toward the end of the week. A storm system could bring a return of rain to the Bay Area by the weekend, with snow also expected in the Sierra. Forecast details are still coming into focus, but cooler, wetter weather appears to be on the horizon after our stretch of unusually warm conditions.
