Heat, fire risk and high tides are converging on the Bay Area this weekend, according to the National Weather Service.
These exceptionally high tides are often described as king tides and will be more common in the future due to sea level rise.
If you live around the San Francisco Bay, you're probably familiar with cement sea walls and sturdy levees. But, increasingly, a nature-based design is providing an alternative -- one with significant benefits in the face of sea level rise.
King tides are the reason behind a local coastal flood advisory through 2 p.m. on Monday.
King tides return to the Bay Area this week and ABC7 News Meteorologist Mike Nicco says they are really going to hit Marin County and make a splash along San Francisco's Embarcadero.
Venice was hit by a record third exceptional tide in the same week. Italian officials warn that the city is sinking into the mud and facing rising sea levels due to climate change.
