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 PM to 7:00 PM PST.
IMPACTS Minor flooding of low-lying areas, parks, and roads. Isolated road closures possible.
The barometric pressure is significantly higher than the threshold associated with past Category 5 events, suggesting less severe weather conditions. However, the high tide at 18:42 with a mean pressure MSL of 1006.5399780273438 hPa is close to the Category 3 event from historical data. Wind direction is not provided but considering the NOAA's low flood likelihood for this day, the risk remains moderate.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT Coastal flooding is not expected but should be monitored due to high tide levels.
WHEN Highest risk near the high tide at 4:00 AM and 7:19 PM PST.
IMPACTS No significant impacts expected. Some water accumulation possible in very low-lying areas.
The barometric pressure during high tides remains above the critical threshold, and NOAA's flood likelihood remains low. The tide levels are not reaching the historical flood event thresholds, indicating a lower risk for this day.
CATEGORY 3
WHAT Minor coastal flooding possible due to high tide levels in the evening.
WHEN Highest risk near the high tide at approximately 5:00 PM PST.
IMPACTS Potential for minor flooding of low-lying areas and roads with poor drainage.
The barometric pressure during the evening high tide is slightly lower than on previous days but still above the critical threshold for severe events. The tide level is similar to Day 1, which combined with the historical data suggests a moderate risk of minor flooding.
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.
