CATEGORY 3
WHAT Minor coastal flooding possible. Tide levels may approach thresholds that have previously led to minor flooding in low-lying areas.
WHEN From 1:00 PM to 3:00 PM PST.
IMPACTS Minor flooding of low-lying areas, parks, and roads near the shoreline. Isolated road closures possible.
Barometric Pressure: The barometric pressure during the high tide on November 13 at 2:06 PM is approximately 1015.95 hPa, which is significantly higher than pressures observed during historical flooding events (e.g., 1006.1 hPa during a Category 3 event on 12/27/2023). High barometric pressure suggests less severe weather conditions.
Tide Height: The predicted tide height peaks at approximately 20.217 ft at 2:06 PM. This is higher than the tide height during the historical Category 3 event (17.460 ft) but lower than Category 4 events, which had tide heights over 21 ft.
Wind Direction and Speed: Winds are expected to be from the south-southeast at around 15 km/h (9 mph) during the high tide period, which is lower than wind speeds observed during higher-category historical events (e.g., 23.3 mph during a Category 4 event).
NOAA Flood Likelihood: NOAA's forecast indicates a low flood likelihood of 1.4%, with a distance to the flood threshold of -0.95 m, suggesting that water levels are expected to remain below critical thresholds.
Based on these factors, minor coastal flooding is possible in low-lying areas, but significant property damage is unlikely.

WHAT Minor coastal flooding possible. Tide levels may approach thresholds that have previously led to minor flooding in low-lying areas.
WHEN From 1:30 PM to 3:30 PM PST.
IMPACTS Minor flooding of low-lying areas, parks, and roads near the shoreline. Isolated road closures possible.
Barometric Pressure: The barometric pressure during the high tide on November 14 at 2:42 PM is approximately 1024.78 hPa, which is significantly higher than pressures observed during historical flood events. This high pressure indicates stable atmospheric conditions.
Tide Height: The predicted tide height peaks at approximately 20.324 ft at 2:42 PM, similar to Day 1 and still below the levels observed during Category 4 events.
Wind Direction and Speed: Winds are expected to be from the south-southwest at around 15 km/h (9 mph) during the high tide period. This is less intense than wind conditions during historical flooding events.
NOAA Flood Likelihood: NOAA's forecast indicates a low flood likelihood of 1.7%, with a distance to the flood threshold of -0.91 m.
Given these conditions, while minor flooding in low-lying areas is possible, significant flooding is unlikely.

WHAT Minor coastal flooding possible. Tide levels may approach thresholds that have previously led to minor flooding in low-lying areas.
WHEN From 2:00 PM to 4:00 PM PST.
IMPACTS Minor flooding of low-lying areas, parks, and roads near the shoreline. Isolated road closures possible.
Barometric Pressure: The barometric pressure during the high tide on November 15 at 3:12 PM is approximately 1014.79 hPa, which remains higher than pressures associated with significant historical flood events.
Tide Height: The predicted tide height peaks at approximately 20.258 ft at 3:12 PM, consistent with the previous days and below the critical thresholds of historical higher-category events.
Wind Direction and Speed: Winds are expected to be light, coming from the north-northeast at around 4 km/h (2 mph) during the high tide period, indicating minimal wind impact on tidal levels.
NOAA Flood Likelihood: NOAA's forecast indicates a low flood likelihood of 1.6%, with a distance to the flood threshold of -0.94 m.
The combination of these factors suggests that while minor flooding is possible, the risk of significant flood-related impacts remains low.
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.
