WHAT Minor coastal flooding expected. Possible inundation of up to 0.5 feet above ground level near shorelines and low-lying areas.
*WHEN From 9:00 AM to 11:00 AM PST.
IMPACTS Minor flooding of low-lying areas, parks, and roads. Isolated road closures possible.
The barometric pressure during the high tide at 10:00 AM is significantly higher than the threshold that has historically led to severe flooding events. The pressure of 1002.8599853515625 hPa, while lower than the average, does not approach the critical levels seen in past Category 4 or higher events. The tide level, while elevated, is not expected to reach the heights that have previously resulted in major flooding. NOAA's Flood Likelihood Analysis indicates a low likelihood of flooding for this date, with a 0.0% likelihood percent and a distance to threshold of -2.17m, which supports the forecast of a Category 2 event with minor impacts.
CATEGORY 1
WHAT No significant coastal flooding expected.
WHEN Throughout the day.
IMPACTS No significant impacts anticipated.
On Day 2, the barometric pressure during both high tides is well above the threshold associated with significant flooding events. The highest pressure at 1021.239990234375 hPa during the high tide at 11:00 AM suggests stable weather conditions and a very low risk of flooding. The NOAA Flood Likelihood Analysis concurs with this assessment, showing a low likelihood of flooding with a distance to threshold of -2.91m. Given these factors, Day 2 is categorized as a Category 1 event with no significant flood risk.
