WHAT... Potential for minor coastal flooding.
WHEN... The highest risk of minor flood conditions is during the early morning high tide and the mid-afternoon high tide.
The weather data indicates light rain with a maximum temperature of 10°C and low wind speeds, which may not contribute significantly to flooding risks. However, high tide levels combined with relatively high barometric pressure readings (above the critical threshold of 966 hPa) suggest a lower likelihood of severe flooding but still warrant caution for low-lying areas. The historical event on 12/17/2022 showed a much lower pressure threshold which is not met on this day.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT... Potential for minor coastal flooding remains.
WHEN... Similar to Day 1, the early morning and late evening high tides present times when the flood risk is heightened.
Continued light mist and cloud cover persist with no significant changes in barometric pressure or wind patterns from Day 1, maintaining the same flood risk level. The weather conditions are moderately stable, which suggests a consistent but low flood risk as seen on Day 1.
CATEGORY 3
WHAT... Increased risk of coastal flooding.
WHEN... The early morning high tide combined with slightly decreasing barometric pressures could lead to higher flood risks compared to the previous days.
There is a slightly increased risk due to the lowering barometric pressure approaching but still being above the critical threshold experienced during the historical flood event. The weather is clearing up, which might reduce the immediate risk of heavy rainfall contributing to flooding. However, the lowering pressure requires monitoring as it could potentiate coastal flooding if it continues to trend downwards.
You should monitor later forecasts and be alert for possible Flood Warnings. Those living in areas prone to flooding should be prepared to take action should flooding develop. Keep an eye on local conditions and stay informed through updates from official channels. While current data shows only a potential for minor coastal flooding, conditions can change and it's important to have a plan in case evacuation or other emergency actions are needed.
