In my podcast immediately, I spend the second section speaking in depth about atmospheric stress. That data is especially essential this week:
A really massive astronomical King Tide can be lowered significantly by a lot larger than regular atmospheric stress.
Regular stress at sea degree is roughly 1013 hPa (hPa is the metric unit of stress).
This week the stress is forecast to be round 1030-1035 hPa! (see forecast beneath).
Such excessive stress will scale back the excessive tide by roughly 7 inches. As you’ll be able to see beneath, the water degree predictions (blue traces) are considerably lower than noticed (purple traces). This case ought to proceed for the subsequent few days.
As described within the first a part of the podcast, a weak entrance will transfer by means of on Monday morning, adopted by a dry week.
However pleasure will await subsequent weekend, as very chilly air strikes over the area (see forecast of decrease environment temperatures and sea degree stress for 1 PM Sunday). Blue colours are chilly sufficient for snow.
Will there be lowlands snow over western Washington and Oregon? Keep tuned…
