CATEGORY 3
WHAT Monitoring advised due to higher than average tides. Minor coastal flooding is unlikely but possible in low-lying areas.
WHEN High tide periods on 2024-10-08, especially around 09:00 AM and 06:42 PM PST.
IMPACTS Minimal impacts expected. Low-lying areas may experience minor water accumulation. No significant property damage anticipated.
Barometric Pressure: Mean pressures during high tides are 1013.81 hPa and 1012.40 hPa, which are higher than pressures observed during historical flooding events, indicating stable weather conditions with a lower likelihood of severe flooding.
Tide Height: The highest tide is approximately 18.317 ft at 09:00 AM, slightly exceeding the tide height of the historical Category 3 event on 12/27/2023 (17.460 ft). While this suggests a need for monitoring, the higher barometric pressure mitigates significant flood risk.
Wind Direction and Speed: Winds are moderate, ranging from 7 to 12 mph, coming from the south (171°). This wind pattern does not significantly increase the risk of coastal flooding.
NOAA Flood Likelihood: NOAA's forecast indicates a low flood likelihood with a 0.0% chance and a distance to the flood threshold of -2.84m, suggesting no anticipated flooding.
CATEGORY 3
WHAT Continued monitoring advised due to sustained higher tides. Minor coastal flooding remains unlikely but possible in low-lying areas.
WHEN High tide periods on 2024-10-09, particularly around 07:12 PM PST.
IMPACTS Minimal impacts expected. Possibly minor water accumulation in low-lying areas. No significant property damage anticipated.
Barometric Pressure: Mean pressures during high tides are 1010.19 hPa and 1009.76 hPa, slightly lower than Day 1 but still above critical thresholds associated with past flooding events.
Tide Height: Tides are expected to reach similar heights as Day 1, indicating a consistent pattern that warrants monitoring, though significant flooding is not expected.
Wind Direction and Speed: Wind speeds are light, between 5 and 9 mph, shifting from south to southwest (183° to 271°). These conditions are not conducive to increased flood risk.
NOAA Flood Likelihood: NOAA continues to forecast a low flood likelihood with a 0.0% chance and a distance to the flood threshold of -3.02m.
CATEGORY 3
WHAT Monitoring remains advisable due to ongoing higher tides. Minor coastal flooding is unlikely but should not be disregarded in vulnerable areas.
WHEN High tide periods on 2024-10-10, especially around 11:30 AM and 08:24 PM PST.
IMPACTS Minimal impacts expected. Low-lying areas might experience minor water pooling. Significant property damage is not anticipated.
Barometric Pressure: The mean pressure during high tides declines to 1007.59 hPa, lower than previous days but still above the critical threshold observed in historical Category 4 and 5 events (<= 1002 hPa and <= 978.4 hPa, respectively).
Tide Height: Tidal heights are projected to be comparable to Days 1 and 2. While the combination of slightly lower pressure and sustained high tides suggests vigilant monitoring, the risk remains low.
Wind Direction and Speed: Winds are expected to be moderate, ranging from 9 to 13 mph, shifting northerly (up to 358°). This change does not significantly elevate the flood risk.
NOAA Flood Likelihood: NOAA’s forecast persists with a low flood likelihood at 0.0% chance and a distance to the flood threshold of -3.06m.
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.
