CATEGORY 3
WHAT Minor coastal flooding expected. Possible inundation of up to 0.5 feet above ground level near shorelines and low-lying areas.
*WHEN From 6:00 PM to 11:59 PM PST.
IMPACTS Minor flooding of low-lying areas, parks, and roads. Isolated road closures possible.
The barometric pressure is forecasted to be around 1017.5 hPa during the high tide at 10:30 PM, which is significantly higher than the threshold associated with past flooding events. The tide level is expected to be high but not exceeding the critical levels observed during Category 4 or 5 events. Wind direction is not provided but considering the pressure and tide data, the risk of significant flooding is lower compared to historical Category 4 or 5 events.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT Low risk of coastal flooding. No significant inundation expected.
WHEN Throughout the day.
IMPACTS No significant impacts expected. Normal tidal conditions with no action required.
The barometric pressure remains stable and relatively high, suggesting less severe weather conditions and a lower likelihood of flooding. The high tide at 7:48 AM is not expected to reach a level that poses a significant flood risk, especially given the higher barometric pressure at that time.
CATEGORY 3
WHAT Minor coastal flooding possible. Potential for water levels to reach up to 0.5 feet above ground level in susceptible areas.
WHEN From early morning around high tide at 2:00 AM to late afternoon around high tide at 3:00 PM PST.
IMPACTS Possible minor overflow in low-lying coastal areas and roads near the shoreline. Some areas may experience temporary and minor water accumulation.
The barometric pressure on this day is forecasted to be lower than on Day 2, particularly around the high tide in the afternoon (1011.9 hPa), which could contribute to a slightly increased risk of flooding compared to Day 2. However, it remains above the critical threshold observed in past severe flood events, indicating a lower likelihood of major flooding.
