CATEGORY 3
WHAT: Minor coastal flooding possible. Slight inundation of up to 0.5 feet above ground level near shorelines and low-lying areas.
WHEN: From early morning to mid-morning, around 6:00 AM to 9:00 AM PST.
IMPACTS: Minor flooding of low-lying areas, parks, and roads. Isolated road closures possible.
The barometric pressure is high at 1032.38 hPa during the high tide at 6:30 AM, indicating less severe weather conditions. The tide height reaches approximately 20.5 feet, which is higher than the historical Category 3 event but similar to Category 4 events. Wind speeds are moderate at 14 mph from the SSW. NOAA's flood likelihood is low at 3.4%, suggesting a minor risk. Considering these factors, especially the high barometric pressure, the flood risk is assessed as Category 3 for today.

The barometric pressure remains high at 1034.97 hPa during the morning high tide at 7:24 AM. Tide heights are around 20.1 feet, similar to Day 1. Wind speeds decrease to 6 mph from the south, reducing wind-related impacts. NOAA's flood likelihood is high at 5.2%, but this is still lower than historical Category 3 events. Despite the NOAA's higher likelihood rating, the consistently high barometric pressure and lower wind speeds support maintaining the flood risk at Category 3.
CATEGORY 3
WHAT: Minor coastal flooding possible. Slight inundation of up to 0.5 feet above ground level near shorelines and low-lying areas.
WHEN: From morning to late morning, around 7:30 AM to 10:30 AM PST.
