Original: This Weekend, an El Niño-Driven ‘Kelvin Wave’ Will Raise Bay Area Sea Levels and Flooding Risk
An El Niño-driven Kelvin wave is set to push sea levels higher along the San Francisco Bay Area this weekend, raising the risk of coastal flooding. Forecasters warn that the warm-water pulse, travelling eastward along the equator, will combine with local tides and could flood low-lying shoreline areas.
