NOAA's flood likelihood analysis indicates a low likelihood of flooding with a 0.0% chance.

Day 3: 2024-08-31

CATEGORY 3

WHAT Close to a flood event but unlikely to cause flood damage. Conditions should be monitored closely.

WHEN Throughout the day, with high tides at 02:06 AM and 04:36 PM PST.

IMPACTS Minor impacts possible in low-lying areas, but significant flooding is not expected.

ADDITIONAL DETAILS...

The barometric pressure for the high tides on 2024-08-31 is relatively high (1009.29 hPa and 1005.73 hPa), which is above the critical threshold of 992.8 hPa but lower than previous days, indicating a slight increase in risk. The tide heights are higher compared to previous days but still not extreme compared to historical flood events categorized as Category 4 or higher. Wind speeds remain low, and the wind direction does not significantly contribute to potential flooding. NOAA's flood likelihood analysis indicates a low likelihood of flooding with a 0.0% chance.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

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 there is no immediate threat of significant flooding over the next three days, it is important to stay informed and monitor conditions closely, especially on August 31st when conditions are closer to historical minor flood events but still unlikely to cause damage based on current data.
