Day 1: 2024-01-26

CATEGORY 2

WHAT Minor coastal flooding expected. Possible inundation of up to 0.5 feet above ground level near shorelines and low-lying areas.

*WHEN From 5:00 AM to 8:00 AM PST.

IMPACTS Minor flooding of low-lying areas, parks, and roads. Isolated road closures possible.

ADDITIONAL DETAILS...

CATEGORY 2

WHAT Minor coastal flooding potential continues with limited impact expected.

WHEN From 5:30 AM to 9:00 AM PST.

IMPACTS Similar to Day 1, with minor nuisance flooding in susceptible areas.

ADDITIONAL DETAILS...

The barometric pressure remains high, reducing the risk of significant flooding. The tide level is not forecasted to reach thresholds that have historically caused major flooding. The NOAA flood likelihood remains low at 0.5%, further supporting the assessment of minimal flood risk.

Day 3: 2024-01-28

CATEGORY 2

WHAT Persistent minor coastal flooding risk due to high tides, with no significant change in conditions.

WHEN From 6:00 AM to 9:30 AM PST.

IMPACTS Continuation of minor and localized flooding in low-lying coastal areas and roads.

ADDITIONAL DETAILS...

Barometric pressure is stable and high, suggesting a continued pattern of less severe weather conditions. Tide levels are not anticipated to rise to a point that would cause significant flooding. The NOAA flood likelihood remains low at 0.4%, indicating a consistent low risk of flooding for this period.
