CATEGORY 2

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 PM to 10:00 PM PST.

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 this day are well above the threshold that has historically indicated a risk of flooding. The highest tide level is also below the historical flood event levels. Wind direction from the weather data is not provided, but given the low likelihood of flooding from NOAA and the absence of significant rainfall or low pressure, the risk remains categorized at a lower level.

Day 2: 2024-05-18

CATEGORY 1

WHAT No significant coastal flooding expected.

WHEN Throughout the day.

IMPACTS No significant impacts anticipated.

ADDITIONAL DETAILS...

The barometric pressure is high, and tide levels are not reaching thresholds that have historically led to flooding. The NOAA flood likelihood remains low, and there is no indication from the weather data that conditions would exacerbate tidal effects to increase flood risk.

Day 3: 2024-05-19

CATEGORY 2

WHAT Minor coastal flooding possible due to high tide in the morning hours.

WHEN Highest risk near the time of high tide at approximately 09:42 AM PST.

IMPACTS Potential for minor overflow in very low-lying areas, but significant flooding is not expected.

ADDITIONAL DETAILS...

The barometric pressure during the high tide in the morning is lower than on previous days but still above critical thresholds. The NOAA flood likelihood remains low, suggesting minimal risk. However, as a precaution due to slightly lower pressure, the category is set to 2.
