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 07:00 AM to 08:00 PM PST.
IMPACTS Minor flooding of low-lying areas, parks, and roads. Isolated road closures possible.
On August 23, the high tide at 07:06 AM is expected to reach a height of approximately 18.052 feet with a barometric pressure of 1007.68 hPa. The second high tide at 07:30 PM will reach around 20.102 feet with a barometric pressure of 1010.37 hPa. The barometric pressures are above the critical threshold of 992.8 hPa, reducing the likelihood of severe flooding despite the high tide levels. Wind speeds are moderate, and the wind direction is SSE, which historically has not been a significant factor in exacerbating flood conditions in this area.

WHAT Minor coastal flooding expected. Possible inundation of up to 1 foot above ground level near shorelines and low-lying areas.
WHEN From 08:00 AM to 09:00 PM PST.
IMPACTS Minor flooding of low-lying areas, parks, and roads. Isolated road closures possible.
On August 24, the high tide at 08:18 AM is expected to reach a height of approximately 17.775 feet with a barometric pressure of 1006.23 hPa. The second high tide at 08:06 PM will reach around 19.800 feet with a barometric pressure of 1008.15 hPa. The barometric pressures are still above the critical threshold, indicating a lower risk of severe flooding despite the high tide levels. Wind speeds remain moderate, and the wind direction is S, which does not significantly contribute to flood risk in this region.
CATEGORY 4
WHAT Likely coastal flooding expected with potential property damage. Possible inundation of up to 2 feet above ground level near shorelines and low-lying areas.
WHEN From 04:00 AM to 09:00 PM PST.
IMPACTS Flooding of low-lying areas, parks, and roads. Potential property damage in vulnerable areas. Road closures likely.
On August 25, the high tide at 04:42 AM is expected to reach a height of approximately 17.476 feet with a barometric pressure of 1004.75 hPa. The second high tide at 08:42 PM will reach around 19.271 feet with a barometric pressure of 1004.38 hPa. The lower barometric pressures on this day increase the likelihood of more significant flooding compared to the previous days. Wind speeds are moderate, but the wind direction is SE, which can contribute to higher water levels along the coast.
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 integrates weather observations, tide data, and barometric pressure while comparing with historical events for insights. The forecasted conditions suggest minor coastal flooding on August 23 and August 24 (Category 3), with an increased risk on August 25 (Category 4) due to lower barometric pressures and higher tide levels.
