CATEGORY 2
WHAT... Slight risk of a flood event due to forecasted moderate rain and lower barometric pressure.
WHEN... The combination of moderate rain with lowering barometric pressure could lead to minor flooding in low-lying areas, primarily at times of high tide on this date.
The weather forecast indicates a drop in barometric pressure with moderate rainfall, which can contribute to higher water levels, particularly during high tide. However, the pressure is still above the critical threshold observed during the Category 5 event. Residents should monitor the situation as it progresses.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT... Slight risk of a flood event persists due to continued light rainfall and slightly elevated tide levels.
WHEN... Similar conditions as the previous day suggest a continued risk for minor flooding, especially at times of high tide.
The presence of light rain and slightly elevated tides can contribute to minor flooding concerns. The barometric pressure is above the critical threshold but should be monitored closely.
