Day 2: 2023-12-04

CATEGORY 1

WHAT... Minimal risk of flooding with no immediate concerns due to high atmospheric pressure and moderate tides.

WHEN... No specific time frame poses a significant threat, as both tide levels and barometric pressure are within safe ranges.

ADDITIONAL DETAILS...

Weather conditions show cloudy skies with chances of light drizzle but without substantial rainfall that would contribute to flooding. The high tide levels are not expected to reach concerning heights, and the pressure is comfortably above flooding thresholds, indicating a minimal flood risk for this day.

Day 3: 2023-12-05

CATEGORY 3

WHAT... Slightly increased risk of coastal flooding due to lower barometric pressure and high tides approaching known thresholds.

WHEN... Close monitoring is advised during high tide events throughout the day for signs of coastal overflow or minor flooding.

ADDITIONAL DETAILS...

On this day, the barometric pressure drops closer to the threshold at which the likelihood of flooding increases, especially when combined with high tide conditions. While precipitation is not significant, the combination of lower pressure and high tides warrants increased vigilance.
