IMPACTS
No significant impacts are anticipated. Normal tidal fluctuations are expected.

ADDITIONAL DETAILS...

• Barometric Pressure: The pressure at high tide is 1019.46 hPa, significantly higher than in historical flooding events, indicating stable atmospheric conditions.
• Tide Height: The anticipated tide height is higher than the historical Category 3 event but lower than Category 4 and 5 events, suggesting a low risk of flooding.
• Wind Direction & Speed: Winds are from the north at approximately 5 km/h, indicating minimal impact on tidal conditions.
• NOAA Flood Likelihood: NOAA forecasts a low flood likelihood with 0% chance and a distance to the flood threshold of -2.83 m.

Day 2: 2024-10-12

CATEGORY 2

WHAT
No flooding is expected. A high tide of about 18.666 ft is forecasted around 1:30 PM, with stable weather conditions.

WHEN

IMPACTS
No significant impacts are anticipated. Normal tidal fluctuations are expected.

ADDITIONAL DETAILS...

• Barometric Pressure: High pressure of approximately 1021.76 hPa at high tide, indicating stable atmospheric conditions.
• Tide Height: Similar to Day 1, the tide height is higher than low-risk historical events but does not reach levels associated with flooding.
• Wind Direction & Speed: Winds are light and variable, around 3 km/h, with no significant impact expected.
• NOAA Flood Likelihood: NOAA indicates a low flood likelihood with 0% chance and a distance to the flood threshold of -2.56 m.

Day 3: 2024-10-13

CATEGORY 3

WHAT
Close to a flood event and worth monitoring, but unlikely to cause flood damage. A higher tide of approximately 19.021 ft is expected around 2:06 PM, along with slightly lower barometric pressure.

WHEN
From 1:30 PM to 2:30 PM PST.

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

ADDITIONAL DETAILS...

• Barometric Pressure: The pressure at high tide is 1010.53 hPa, lower than previous days but still higher than pressures associated with historical severe flooding events.
• Tide Height: The tide height reaches 19.021 ft, higher than the historical Category 3 event but below Category 4 thresholds.
• Wind Direction & Speed: Winds are light, around 6 km/h from the south, with minimal effect on tidal conditions.
• NOAA Flood Likelihood: NOAA forecasts a low flood likelihood with 0% chance and a distance to the flood threshold of -2.14 m.

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.
