Unfortunately we're going to have to get used (and adapt) to this and worse in the coming decades.

Updated tide forecast for San Diego. Two more chances to break another record. I don't want to know what will happen if there's a storm during the high tide cycle in November or December.

Los Angeles and San Diego had their highest coastal water levels in over a century of records during high tide today. (San Diego's record was a tie, but there was a glitch that prevented the peak from being recorded). Top-10 marks from 2026 highlighted are in yellow. @edwardsanthonyb.bsky.social

The high tide in Los Angeles set a new record this morning, based on preliminary data. San Diego tied (no pun intended) its record, but there may have been a data glitch. Slightly higher tides are possible tomorrow.

Disastrous flooding along the San Juan River in the Four Corners region. Here’s some of what I saw today in Shiprock, on the Navajo Nation in northwest New Mexico.

I might save time if I dumped words into a LLM to spit other words back out. But I wouldn't know the material. I wouldn't connect concepts, identify cause and effect, have lightbulb moments weaving seemingly disparate threads into a tapestry of understanding that I can then apply to new challenges.

The Four Corners just went through a long week of flooding and weather models predict another deep plume of moisture taking aim at the region in the Nov. 1-2 timeframe. This doesn't look like a long-duration event, but saturated soils will be more prone to flooding from even short duration rainfall.

California will see very high tides up and down its coast next week, as the historic El Niño raises the seas.

Historic flooding in Farmington, NM, today. Our KRQE photographer captured this video as the San Juan River reached its highest recorded level, breaking the record from 1909. Dangerous flooding continues downstream toward Shiprock, where river levels will rise tonight. #NMwx

I've been working on some tide forecasts with guidance from @edwardsanthonyb.bsky.social My model has an 83% chance of setting a record on Tuesday. Any record will only last a month. The model has a near 100% chance of setting the record in late Nov since the baseline will be 11 cm higher.

After finishing with the record warmest July, the record warmest August, and the record warmest September, the Contiguous U.S. is on pace to have the 4th warmest October on record. The warmest, 1963, was 4.8F above normal. It's still possible that this October could move higher up the list. 🔥🔥🔥

“For those of you who are scuba divers, you’ve probably noted that even on the bottom, at 50 feet, it is 70 degrees … it’s been very, very warm,” Smith said at an Oct. 7 panel. “When kelp is exposed to that warm water for extended periods of time, it literally melts.”

The coastal flooding outlook is dire for Florida's east coast in the coming days. Days of persistent onshore winds will be perfectly aligned to overlap with the full moon on the 26th and perigee on the 28th. #KingTide #Miami #Florida @miamirosenstiel.bsky.social

Ocean temperatures up and down the California coast have become disturbingly high, with wide-ranging impacts.

Did anyone else in the Bay Area get “dirty” rain today? My car (and others in my neighborhood) were cleaner before rain hit San Francisco this afternoon.

A brief guide to tide predictions, King Tide season, and "smart" tide forecasts since this topic is going to get a lot of attention in the coming 1-2 weeks:

The city said construction crews are scheduled to begin emergency repairs to stabilize Pacifica Municipal Pier, an attraction central to the coastal city’s beach front charm.

Just a casual hail spike SW of Phoenix on October 20 at night during this never-ending SW monsoon season?

🌧️Widespread beneficial rain is expected tonight through Thursday with a low potential for thunderstorms over the Big Sur coast. Slick roadways and minor nuisance flooding are possible, and high rain rates over the burn scars may lead to de... https://x.com/NWSBayArea/status/2112734410411814941

Wow. What an incredible storm! The sun rises over Super Typhoon #Champi (#RosalPH). Winds at the core are 295 km/h (185 mph), with pressure down to 895 hPa. See this meteorological marvel here: zoom.earth/storms/champ...

Everything is fine. “Antarctica’s Thwaites Glacier could contribute more to sea level rise by the end of the century than some previous estimates. In some model simulations, the glacier’s contribution was as much as twice current projections.” www.jpl.nasa.gov/news/nasa-st...
