WHAT... Moderate flood risk due to increasing precipitation and high tide.
WHEN... Concerns may arise around high tide peaking at 20.057 feet at 08:12 combined with patchy rain, although both are slightly below critical thresholds.

WHEN... Increased risk around the time of high tide, specifically peaking at 19.785 feet at 09:06, coinciding with ongoing rain.
The third day shows a confluence of factors more aligned with higher flood potential: consistent rain, high humidity, and a high tide approaching historically dangerous levels. The barometric pressure is not as low as during the Category 5 event but is trending downward, indicating the possibility of a developing storm system that calls for close monitoring.
