Day 1: 2026-09-05

CATEGORY 1

WHEN Highest tides occur mid-afternoon around 2:18 PM and again late at night near 11:36 PM.

IMPACTS • No impact anticipated.

CATEGORY 2

WHAT Still no flooding is expected, but tides are a bit higher than the previous day. Pressure remains near normal, and wind is light.
