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 4:00 AM to 6:00 AM PST.
IMPACTS Minor flooding of low-lying areas, parks, and roads. Isolated road closures possible.
The barometric pressure is significantly higher than the threshold that has historically indicated severe flooding events. However, the high tide at 05:00 with a mean pressure MSL of 1000.5399780273438 hPa, although not as low as in past severe events, still warrants attention due to its proximity to the threshold. The wind direction is not provided but should be monitored if it comes from the W/NW as it can push water towards the shore, increasing the risk.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT Low risk of coastal flooding. Normal tidal conditions expected.
WHEN Throughout the day.
IMPACTS No significant impacts expected. Usual tidal fluctuations may occur without causing damage.
The barometric pressure during the high tide at 05:42 is slightly below the historical threshold for severe events but still relatively high at 995.77001953125 hPa. The second high tide at 10:12 shows an increased pressure of 1001.1500244140625 hPa, indicating stable weather conditions and a lower risk of flooding.
CATEGORY 1
WHAT No risk of coastal flooding. Stable weather conditions with normal tidal activity.
WHEN Throughout the day.
IMPACTS No impacts from coastal flooding are expected.
Both high tides for this day occur at times when the barometric pressure is significantly higher than any historical flood event thresholds (1007.77001953125 hPa). This suggests a very low likelihood of flooding despite the high tide levels.
Residents and visitors should 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 and adhere to any advisories or evacuation orders that may be issued.
