CATEGORY 3
WHAT Minor coastal flooding possible. Expect possible inundation of low-lying areas near shorelines.
WHEN From 2:00 PM to 4:00 PM PST.
IMPACTS Minor flooding of low-lying areas, parks, and roads. Isolated road closures possible.
On 2024-10-15, a high tide reaching up to 19.728 feet is expected at 3:00 PM PST. The barometric pressure is high at 1024.67 hPa, indicating stable weather conditions and reducing the likelihood of severe flooding. Wind speeds are low at approximately 3 kmph from the east-southeast, lessening the impact on potential flooding. NOAA's flood likelihood is low, with a 0.0% chance and a significant distance below the flood threshold. Compared to historical events, while the tide height is higher than the Category 3 event on 12/27/2023, the high barometric pressure and calm winds suggest a similar Category 3 risk level.
CATEGORY 3
WHAT Minor coastal flooding possible. Low-lying areas near shorelines may experience some inundation.
WHEN From 2:30 PM to 4:30 PM PST.
IMPACTS Minor flooding of low-lying areas, parks, and roads. Isolated road closures possible.
A high tide of 20.004 feet is expected at 3:30 PM PST on 2024-10-16. The barometric pressure remains high at 1025.28 hPa, suggesting less severe weather conditions. Wind speeds are moderate at around 8 kmph from the west-northwest, which does not significantly contribute to flood risk. NOAA's flood likelihood is low at 0.1%, with the tide level well below the flood threshold. Despite the higher tide compared to historical Category 3 events, the stable barometric pressure and wind conditions support a Category 3 assessment.
CATEGORY 3
WHAT Minor coastal flooding possible. Low-lying coastal areas may experience some inundation.
WHEN From 3:00 PM to 5:00 PM PST.
IMPACTS Minor flooding of low-lying areas, parks, and roads. Isolated road closures possible.
On 2024-10-17, a high tide reaching 20.141 feet is anticipated at 4:00 PM PST. The barometric pressure is slightly lower at 1017.94 hPa but remains higher than levels associated with severe flooding events. Wind speeds are low, around 6 kmph from the north-northeast, minimizing additional flood risk. NOAA forecasts a low flood likelihood at 0.4%, with the tide level below the critical threshold. Although the tide height is higher than in previous Category 3 events, the favorable barometric pressure and minimal wind influence support maintaining a Category 3 classification.
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.
