WHAT Minor coastal flooding expected. Possible inundation of up to 0.5 feet above ground level near shorelines and low-lying areas.
*WHEN From 07:00 AM to 09:00 AM PST.
IMPACTS Minor flooding of low-lying areas, parks, and roads. Isolated road closures possible.
The barometric pressure during the high tide at 08:36 is significantly higher than the threshold associated with previous flood events, suggesting a lower risk of severe flooding despite the high tide. The wind direction from the north-northwest at a gentle speed may not contribute significantly to storm surge. NOAA's Flood Likelihood Analysis indicates a low likelihood of flooding for this date.
CATEGORY 4
WHAT Coastal flooding likely. Inundation and property damage possible, especially in vulnerable areas.
WHEN From 08:00 AM to 10:00 AM PST and again around high tide in the evening.
IMPACTS Flooding of coastal properties, roads, and basements. Moderate risk of property damage.
The barometric pressure is forecasted to drop below the critical threshold of 992.8 hPa during the high tide at 09:12 AM and even lower by the evening high tide, increasing the risk of flooding. The wind direction is not provided but considering the significant drop in pressure, it is prudent to prepare for potential flooding impacts.
CATEGORY 3

WHEN From 09:00 AM to 11:00 AM PST and in the mid-afternoon during high tide.
IMPACTS Possible minor flooding of parks, walkways, and roads with poor drainage.
Barometric pressure remains above the critical threshold, suggesting less severe weather conditions than on Day 2. However, it is still lower than on Day 1, indicating a need for continued vigilance. NOAA's Flood Likelihood Analysis maintains a low likelihood for this date.
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. Consult local authorities or experts for final decision-making in flood-related situations.
