CATEGORY 3
WHAT... The barometric pressure readings for the high tides on January 8th are significantly higher than the threshold associated with Category 4 or higher events. The highest tide level at 13:00 is well below the historical flood event thresholds. Wind data is not provided, but the NOAA flood likelihood is low, and the distance to the flood threshold is significant.
WHEN... Given the current data and historical comparisons, there is a low likelihood of flooding on this date.
The barometric pressure during high tides is above 1017 hPa, which does not indicate severe weather conditions that could lead to flooding. The NOAA's flood likelihood analysis supports this assessment, showing no expected flooding for this date.
CATEGORY 3
WHAT... Similar to Day 1, the barometric pressure readings for January 9th's high tides are above the critical thresholds seen in historical flooding events. The tide levels are not reaching the concerning heights of past Category 4 or higher events. NOAA's flood likelihood remains low.
WHEN... The risk of flooding remains low for this date as well, supported by both the barometric pressure data and NOAA's analysis.
The mean pressure MSL at high tide times remains well above the threshold that would suggest a significant risk of flooding. The NOAA flood likelihood analysis continues to show no expected flooding, with a low likelihood percent and a considerable distance to the flood threshold.
CATEGORY 5
WHAT... On January 10th, there is a notable drop in barometric pressure during high tides, reaching levels closer to those seen in historical Category 4 events. This decrease in pressure, combined with NOAA's slight increase in flood likelihood percent (0.8%), indicates a heightened risk of flooding compared to the previous days.
WHEN... The projection of flood risk for Day 3 is higher based on comprehensive data analysis. Barometric pressures are approaching levels that have been associated with significant flooding events in the past.
The weather data shows a mean pressure MSL that is much lower than on previous days and nearing critical levels observed during past flooding events. This information, combined with an increase in NOAA's flood likelihood percent, suggests that there may be a risk of property damage due to flooding on January 10th.
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. Consultation with local authorities or experts for final decision-making in flood-related situations is strongly advised.
