WHEN Throughout the day on October 17, 2024.

IMPACTS No impacts expected.

ADDITIONAL DETAILS...

On October 17, 2024, the high tide is expected to reach approximately 20.141 feet at 4:00 PM.

Wind speeds are modest, around 8 km/h (5 mph), with a northerly wind direction of 359 degrees. NOAA's Flood Likelihood Analysis indicates a low likelihood of flooding at 0.4% and a distance of -1.02 meters below the flood threshold. While the tide height is slightly higher than the previous days, the high barometric pressure and moderate wind conditions suggest no significant flood risk when compared to historical events.
