In my podcast today, I dedicate the second segment to an in-depth talk about atmospheric pressure. That information is especially important this week:
A very large astronomical King Tide would be significantly reduced by a much higher than normal atmospheric pressure.
Normal pressure at sea level is approximately 1013 hPa (hPa is a unit of pressure).
The pressure forecast this week will be around 1030-1035 hPa! (see forecast below).
Such high pressure would reduce high tides by about 7 inches. As you can see below, the water level prediction (blue line) is significantly less than the observed (red line). This situation will continue for the next few days.
As described in the first part of the podcast, the weak front will move on Monday morning, followed by a dry week.
But excitement awaits next weekend, when very cold air moves through the area (see lower barometric temperature and sea level pressure forecast for 13:00 Sunday). Blue is cold enough for snow.
Will there be snow in the lowlands west of Washington and Oregon? Keep stable…
