The Ship Report, Tuesday, November 12, 2024

Inclement weather and King Tides add up to increased beach risks and flooding Today we take a look at our seasonally rowdy weather forecast, which already has the Columbia River Bar on Red status this morning, meaning ship traffic is halted across the river entrance until conditions improve.  Add that to King Tides we'll see starting on Friday, and it's a recipe for some serious beach hazards you need to know about. It's tun to see big waves, just make sure you're in a safe place to watch. And there are plenty of places to go for a good perch so you can see everything but not risk your life in the process.
