CATEGORY 2
WHAT Minor coastal flooding expected. Possible inundation of up to 1 foot above ground level near shorelines and low-lying areas.
*WHEN From 09:00 AM to 10:00 AM PST.
IMPACTS Minor flooding of low-lying areas, parks, and roads. Isolated road closures possible.
On August 15, the high tide is expected at 09:12 AM with a tide height of approximately 10.716 feet. The barometric pressure is relatively high at around 1007.09 hPa, which reduces the likelihood of severe flooding. Wind speeds are low, and the wind direction is from the east, which does not significantly contribute to coastal flooding. Historical data indicates that similar conditions have resulted in minor flooding events.

WHAT Minor coastal flooding expected. Possible inundation of up to 1 foot above ground level near shorelines and low-lying areas.
WHEN From 04:00 PM to 05:00 PM PST.
IMPACTS Minor flooding of low-lying areas, parks, and roads. Isolated road closures possible.
On August 16, the high tide is expected at 04:06 PM with a tide height of approximately 18.635 feet. The barometric pressure is around 1009.94 hPa, which is higher than the threshold for significant flooding risk. Wind speeds are moderate, and the wind direction is from the south-southwest, which may slightly contribute to coastal flooding but not significantly. Historical data suggests that these conditions are likely to result in minor flooding.
CATEGORY 3
WHAT Moderate coastal flooding expected. Possible inundation of up to 2 feet above ground level near shorelines and low-lying areas.
WHEN From 04:00 PM to 05:00 PM PST.
IMPACTS Moderate flooding of low-lying areas, parks, and roads. Some road closures possible.
On August 17, the high tide is expected at 04:36 PM with a tide height of approximately 19.015 feet. The barometric pressure is around 1009.34 hPa, which is still relatively high but lower than previous days. Wind speeds are moderate with a direction from the north-northwest, which can contribute to pushing seawater towards the coast. Historical data indicates that similar conditions have resulted in moderate flooding events.
You 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.
This analysis indicates that while minor coastal flooding is expected on August 15 and August 16 (Category 2), there is a moderate risk of coastal flooding on August 17 (Category 3). The barometric pressure remains relatively high throughout these days, reducing the likelihood of severe flooding events. However, it is essential to stay informed and prepared for any changes in weather conditions that may increase flood risks.
