Day 1: 2026-09-06

CATEGORY 2

IMPACTS • No impact anticipated.

REASONING Tide is the primary factor raising the water level slightly. Pressure is near normal, and onshore wind is minimal. All models agree on Category 2, with no worse scenario indicated.

CATEGORY 2

WHAT Another routine day with no risk of flooding. The slightly higher tide does not reach flood thresholds.
