CATEGORY 2

WHAT A Category 2 event indicates no notable flood risk. The moderate astronomical tide is the primary driver, with normal pressure contributing slightly.

WHEN Peak water levels are expected around 6:54 AM and again near 9:06 PM.

IMPACTS • No impact anticipated.

REASONING Today’s moderate tide is the main factor, with a slight boost from near-normal pressure. Onshore winds did not contribute meaningfully, and all model scenarios agree on Category 2.

Day 2: 2026-07-04

CATEGORY 2

WHAT Again, Category 2 signals no risk of flooding. The tide remains the top influence, with normal pressure adding a small effect.

WHEN Highest water stands likely around 7:42 AM and again near 9:36 PM.

IMPACTS • No impact anticipated.

REASONING The moderate tide continues to be the key factor, modestly supported by near-normal pressure. Little to no contribution comes from the wind, and ensemble agreement is unanimous.

Day 3: 2026-07-05

CATEGORY 2

WHAT A continued Category 2 forecast means no significant flood concerns. Tide remains the main driver, with a negligible role from wind.

WHEN Expect peak water levels around 8:36 AM and again near 10:06 PM.

IMPACTS • No impact anticipated.
