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 4:00 AM to 9:30 AM PST.
IMPACTS Minor flooding of low-lying areas, parks, and roads. Isolated road closures possible.
The barometric pressure readings for the high tides on this day are 998.96 hPa and 1000.32 hPa, which are higher than the threshold that indicates a significant risk of flooding (992.8 hPa). The tide heights are not reaching the levels seen in historical Category 4 or 5 events, suggesting a lower risk of severe flooding. However, residents should remain vigilant as conditions can change.
CATEGORY 1
WHAT No significant coastal flooding expected.
WHEN Throughout the day.
IMPACTS No significant impacts anticipated.
The barometric pressure is relatively high at around 1002.65 hPa during the high tides, indicating stable weather conditions and a low likelihood of flooding. The NOAA Flood Likelihood Analysis also reports a low likelihood of flooding for this date.
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.
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.
Residents 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.
