WHEN
Peak tides in the early morning near 1:00 AM and late afternoon around 4:42 PM.

Tide again is the primary driver, but pressure remains near normal and wind is minimal. All models agree on Category 1 with no higher tail scenario.
Category 2
WHAT
While tides are a bit higher than the previous days, the situation remains below flooding thresholds. Slightly lower pressure than normal does not appear sufficient to cause any inundation.
WHEN
Highest water levels overnight around 2:12 AM and again in the late afternoon near 5:24 PM.
IMPACTS
- No impact anticipated.
REASONING
The higher astronomical tide is the main contributor, with modest help from below-normal pressure. Onshore wind remains minimal. The ensemble shows Category 2 with no variation in its tail scenario.
