WHAT... The barometric pressure for the high tide at 10:00 on January 3, 2024, is well above the historical thresholds associated with significant flooding events. At 1011.964599609375 hPa, it is higher than the pressures recorded during Category 4 and 5 events. The NOAA flood likelihood for this day is low at 0.1%, with a distance to the flood threshold of -0.472m, suggesting that the tide levels are not expected to reach a point of concern.
WHEN... Given the high barometric pressure and low likelihood of flooding from NOAA's analysis, the risk of flooding is considered low for January 3, 2024.
Despite the high tide prediction, the substantial barometric pressure and low flood likelihood from NOAA indicate that conditions are not conducive to flooding comparable to historical events. Wind direction and speed data are not provided but given the other factors, their impact is likely minimal in this assessment.

WHAT... On January 4, 2024, the barometric pressure during high tide at 10:30 is recorded at 1012.7613525390625 hPa. This pressure is still significantly higher than those observed during past flooding events. NOAA's flood likelihood remains low with no percentage given, indicating minimal risk.
WHEN... The assessment for January 4, 2024, also indicates a low flood risk due to favorable barometric pressure readings and NOAA's consistent low flood likelihood projection.
The stability of barometric pressure above critical thresholds suggests that weather conditions are not severe enough to cause flooding. The absence of significant wind data in this forecast does not change the overall low-risk assessment.

WHAT... For January 5, 2024, there are two high tides to consider. The first high tide occurs early in the morning with a mean pressure MSL of 1022.9354858398438 hPa, which is significantly higher than any pressure associated with previous flooding events. The second high tide at 11:06 shows a mean pressure MSL of 1022.3967895507812 hPa, which also indicates very stable weather conditions.
WHEN... The projected flood risk for January 5, 2024, is very low based on the high barometric pressures and NOAA's assessment showing no likelihood of flooding.
The high barometric pressures on this day suggest exceptionally stable atmospheric conditions that greatly reduce the risk of flooding. Combined with NOAA's analysis showing no likelihood of flooding and distances to threshold well below concern levels, it's unlikely that any significant tidal flooding will occur.
Residents and businesses 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. Always consult with local authorities or experts for final decision-making in flood-related situations and heed any evacuation orders or safety advisories.
