"Kelvin Waves" & high tides:
- Large, underwater waves in tropical Pacific
- Move slowly east, around 150 miles per day
- When they reach the Americas, it splits to two
- One part rides up CA coast
- Boosts sea levels by 6 to 12 inches, higher high tides

Record-breaking king tides have slammed Southern California, flooding neighborhoods and homes, with water levels reaching more than 8 feet.

Coastal flooding has also impacted Northern California and South Florida, as experts warn that king tides in November and December could be even higher.

[NWS Miami @NWSMiami]

Oct. 27 @ 5:45PM- Another round of moderate to major coastal flooding is expected tonight during our upcoming King Tide cycle. We have already seen how high the water levels have gotten, and the dangers are only exacerbated at night. Avoid saltwater flooding at all costs. #FLwx

[NWS Miami @NWSMiami]

10/27 @ 2PM: The combination of gusty winds, wave action, & higher astronomical tides has resulted in *major* coastal flooding along the east coast of South Florida today. Do not drive your vehicle in saltwater flooding; even if you don't stall outright... the salt is corrosive.

[Elie Morrison @morrison_wx]

Why are the high tides so bad? (Oct. 27, 2026)
- Moon, Earth & sun aligned
- The moon is *closer to Earth* in its orbit (isn't exactly circular), and that's exerting a stronger gravitational pull
- West Coast water temps are way above normal, causing higher sea levels

Ongoing heavy rainfall across the West is resulting in scattered instances of flash flooding. The risk of flash flooding will continue and may increase with daytime heating. Southern Utah into southwestern Colorado may see numerous flooding where the heaviest rain occurs.

@PoseidonROV Hi @PoseidonROV, I’m reaching out from CBS News. Can you confirm you own this video? If so, may CBS News use this video per this agreement with credit to you: (https://t.co/PL38VJlNBP)

[Elie Morrison @morrison_wx]

Severe thunderstorms with threats of large hail & isolated tornadoes will be possible in central/northern AZ Wed. PM.

There's a broader risk of flash floods for the central/southern CA coast and much of the Four Corners from Phoenix to southern CO.

[NWS Buffalo @NWSBUFFALO]

El Niño will play a heavy role in the outlook this winter. For our region above normal temperatures are favored for the winter months of DEC-JAN-FEB, with precipitation falling into the equal chances category. Note: Precipitation includes rain, sleet, freezing rain and snow.
