CATEGORY 3
WHAT: Minor coastal flooding potential. Conditions are close to a flood event and worth monitoring, but significant flooding is unlikely.
WHEN: From 11:30 AM to 1:30 PM PST.
IMPACTS: Minor inundation of low-lying areas near shorelines. Minimal impact expected on infrastructure.
On October 11, 2024, the high tide is expected at 12:42 PM with a maximum tide height of approximately 18.346 feet. The barometric pressure is forecasted to be around 1019.98 hPa, which is significantly higher than pressures observed during historical severe flood events. Wind speeds are low, ranging from 2-4 mph coming from the North to Northeast. Comparatively, the tide height is slightly higher than the historical Category 3 event on December 27, 2023 (17.460 feet with a pressure of 1006.1 hPa) but lower than Category 4 events. Given the high barometric pressure and moderate tide levels, the flood potential is categorized as Category 3.

WHAT: Minor coastal flooding potential. Conditions are close to a flood event and worth monitoring, but significant flooding is unlikely.
WHEN: From 1:00 PM to 3:00 PM PST.
IMPACTS: Minor inundation of low-lying areas near shorelines. Minimal impact expected on infrastructure.
On October 13, 2024, the high tide is expected at 2:06 PM with a maximum tide height of approximately 19.021 feet. The barometric pressure is forecasted to be lower than the previous days at 1011.57 hPa, yet it remains higher than pressures associated with historical severe flood events. Wind speeds are modest, around 4-5 mph, coming predominantly from the South. Although the tide height is higher compared to Days 1 and 2, it is still below the levels observed in Category 4 events (e.g., 21.506 feet on November 15, 2021). Considering the higher barometric pressure and absence of significant wind impact, the flood potential remains at Category 3.
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.
