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

ADDITIONAL DETAILS...

The barometric pressure readings for the high tides on April 17, 2024, are significantly higher than the threshold associated with past flooding events. The tide heights are not provided, but the pressure data suggests less severe weather conditions and a lower likelihood of extreme flooding.

CATEGORY 2

WHAT Low risk of coastal flooding.

WHEN Throughout the day.

IMPACTS No significant impacts expected. Normal tidal conditions likely.

ADDITIONAL DETAILS...

On April 18, 2024, the barometric pressure during high tides is well above the threshold that has historically indicated severe flooding events. This suggests that despite high tides, the risk of flooding is low due to stable weather conditions.

Day 3: April 19, 2024

CATEGORY 3

WHAT Minor coastal flooding possible.

WHEN Higher risk around high tide times.

IMPACTS Potential for minor overflow in the most vulnerable shorelines and low-lying areas. Some nuisance flooding possible in parking lots and roads with poor drainage.

ADDITIONAL DETAILS...

The barometric pressure on April 19, 2024, during high tides is lower than on previous days but still above critical levels associated with major flooding events. The absence of NOAA flood risk data limits a comprehensive assessment; however, based on available pressure data and historical comparisons, minor flooding could occur.
