Day 1: 2024-06-21

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 5:00 PM to 8:00 PM PST.

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

ADDITIONAL DETAILS...

The barometric pressure is relatively high at around 1000.8 hPa during the high tide events, which is not indicative of severe weather conditions that could lead to flooding. The tide height is not expected to exceed the threshold significantly, with the highest predicted tide at 19.507 feet, which is below the historical Category 4 and 5 events but above the Category 3 event. Wind direction data is not provided, but given the current conditions and comparison with historical events, significant flooding is not anticipated.

Day 2: 2024-06-22

CATEGORY 1

WHAT No significant coastal flooding expected.

WHEN Throughout the day.

IMPACTS No notable impacts due to flooding are anticipated.

ADDITIONAL DETAILS...

Barometric pressure on Day 2 is higher than on Day 1, reaching up to 1006.4 hPa during high tide, which suggests even less risk of severe weather and flooding. The highest tide level is lower than on Day 1 at 19.757 feet, further reducing the likelihood of flooding. Without significant wind driving water ashore, the risk remains minimal.

Day 3: 2024-06-23

CATEGORY 2

WHAT Minor coastal flooding possible due to high tides.

WHEN Highest risk near the time of high tide at approximately 7:00 PM PST.

IMPACTS Potential for minor overflow in very low-lying coastal areas and roads near the shore.

ADDITIONAL DETAILS...

On Day 3, barometric pressure remains relatively high at around 1004.3 hPa during the predicted high tide event, suggesting stable weather conditions with a lower chance of storm-induced flooding. The highest tide level is forecasted at 19.909 feet, which is still below the levels seen in historical Category 4 and Category 5 events but warrants attention due to its proximity to these thresholds.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

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.
