Day 1: 2026-07-16

Category 2

WHAT
No flooding is expected on Thursday. The slightly above-normal tide is the primary driver, with pressure near normal and little wind effect.

WHEN
Peak tides will occur around 6:06 AM and again near 8:18 PM.

IMPACTS
• No impact anticipated.

REASONING
High astronomical tide was the main factor pushing this to Category 2, with minor contribution from near-normal pressure. Onshore wind was minimal. One of the closest analogs is 2023-01-06, which was a Cat 3 event.

Day 2: 2026-07-17

WHAT

Day 3: 2026-07-18

Category 2
