Day 3: 2024-06-10

CATEGORY 3

WHAT Elevated risk of coastal flooding due to high tides and lower barometric pressure.

WHEN From early morning around 6:12 AM to late evening around 9:00 PM PST.

IMPACTS Potential for minor property damage in very low-lying areas. Increased risk of inundation near shorelines and tidal basins.

ADDITIONAL DETAILS...

On this day, the barometric pressure drops to around 997.84 hPa during high tides, which is closer to the threshold that increases the likelihood of flooding. The tide heights are not specified, but given the pressure readings and comparison with historical events, there is an elevated risk that requires monitoring and preparedness for potential minor flooding.
