CATEGORY 3
WHAT Minor coastal flooding expected. Possible inundation of up to 1 foot above ground level near shorelines and low-lying areas.
*WHEN From 3:00 PM to 6:00 PM PST.
IMPACTS Minor flooding of low-lying areas, parks, and roads. Isolated road closures possible.
The barometric pressure is significantly lower than the threshold of 992.8 hPa, which is a strong indicator of severe weather conditions and potential flooding. However, the NOAA High Tide Flooding Likelihood indicates a low chance of flooding for this date. The tide height at the time of high tide is not provided, but given the pressure data, there is a risk of minor coastal flooding, especially during the high tide at 16:42 with a mean pressure MSL of 991.5399780273438 hPa. This situation is somewhat similar to the historical Category 3 event on 12/27/2023, although the pressure is lower in this case, which could indicate a slightly higher risk.

WHAT Coastal flooding unlikely but possible in very low-lying areas.
WHEN Highest risk near high tide at 17:12.
IMPACTS Minimal impacts expected, with no significant flooding anticipated.
The barometric pressure has risen to around 996 hPa, which reduces the likelihood of severe weather conditions that could lead to flooding. The NOAA High Tide Flooding Likelihood remains low for this date as well. The tide height at the time of high tide is not provided, but given the pressure data and NOAA's forecast, significant flooding is not expected. The situation appears to be less severe than on Day 1.
CATEGORY 2
