WHAT No flooding is expected. Normal tidal and weather conditions are anticipated.
WHEN No significant flooding expected throughout the day.
IMPACTS No flooding impacts are anticipated.
Barometric Pressure: On October 17, 2024, the barometric pressure is forecasted to be approximately 1018.27 hPa during the high tide at 16:00. This is significantly higher than the low pressures associated with historical flooding events, such as the 992.8 hPa recorded during the Category 4 event on January 7, 2022.
Tide Height: While high tides are expected, the tide levels do not reach the critical 21 ft threshold linked to flooding risks. NOAA's data indicates a distance to flood threshold of -1.02 m, confirming that tide heights are well below levels that have previously caused flooding.
Wind Conditions: Wind speeds are moderate at an average of 5-6 mph, with wind directions primarily from the NNE and SSE. These conditions differ from historical events where higher wind speeds and specific wind directions contributed to flooding.
NOAA Flood Likelihood: NOAA's flood likelihood for October 17 is low at 0.4%, reinforcing the assessment that flooding is unlikely.
Comparing these factors to historical data, all indicators suggest that there is no significant risk of flooding on this day.

WHAT No flooding is expected. Normal tidal and weather conditions are anticipated.
WHEN No significant flooding expected throughout the day.
IMPACTS No flooding impacts are anticipated.
Barometric Pressure: The barometric pressure is forecasted to be around 1033.12 hPa during the high tide at 16:36 on October 18, 2024. This high pressure is well above the levels associated with past flooding events, indicating stable atmospheric conditions.
Tide Height: The tide levels remain below critical thresholds, with NOAA indicating a distance to flood threshold of -1.22 m. This suggests that the tides are not expected to contribute to flooding.
Wind Conditions: Predicted wind speeds range from 6-15 mph with directions mostly from the S and SSE. These are moderate winds and are not aligned with directions that have historically exacerbated flooding.
NOAA Flood Likelihood: NOAA's flood likelihood is very low at 0.1%, further supporting the expectation of no flooding.
All data points confirm that flooding is not anticipated, and conditions are significantly different from past flooding events.

WHAT No flooding is expected. Normal tidal and weather conditions are anticipated.
WHEN No significant flooding expected throughout the day.
IMPACTS No flooding impacts are anticipated.
Barometric Pressure: On October 19, 2024, the barometric pressure is expected to be approximately 1036.10 hPa during the high tide at 06:18. This is considerably higher than pressures recorded during previous flood events, indicating no atmospheric conditions that would increase flood risk.
Tide Height: Tide levels are projected to stay well below flood-inducing levels, with NOAA reporting a distance to flood threshold of -1.39 m.
Wind Conditions: Winds are forecasted to be mild, averaging 5-19 mph, primarily from the S and SSW. These conditions are not expected to contribute to any flooding risk.
NOAA Flood Likelihood: NOAA's flood likelihood is negligible at 0.0%, indicating no expectation of flooding.
Given these conditions, there is no indication of flood risk for this day when compared to historical flood events.
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.
