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 8:00 PM PST.
IMPACTS Minor flooding of low-lying areas, parks, and roads. Isolated road closures possible.
The barometric pressure during the high tide at 19:18 is significantly higher than the threshold associated with past flooding events, suggesting a lower risk of severe flooding. However, the tide height is approaching levels that have previously caused minor flooding. Wind direction from the northwest could contribute to water levels rising near the shore but is not expected to be a major factor due to moderate wind speeds.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT Coastal conditions are expected to be relatively stable with a very low risk of flooding.
WHEN The entire day presents a low risk for flooding.
IMPACTS No significant impacts are expected. Normal tidal conditions with no overtopping anticipated.
Barometric pressure remains stable and above the critical threshold, indicating fair weather conditions and a low likelihood of flooding. Tide levels are not forecasted to reach heights that would cause concern based on historical data.
CATEGORY 3
WHAT Minor coastal flooding possible due to high tide levels. Potential for water levels to reach just above normal high tide marks.
WHEN Highest risk near the time of high tide at 8:00 PM PST.
IMPACTS Possible minor overflow into immediate coastal areas and low-lying regions. Some waterfront walkways and parking lots may experience temporary inundation.
The barometric pressure is lower than on previous days but still above the critical threshold for major flooding events. The tide level is elevated, similar to Day 1, which may result in minor coastal flooding, especially if winds intensify from the northwest.
