CATEGORY 1
WHAT No risk of flooding expected. Normal coastal conditions anticipated.
WHEN All day.
IMPACTS No impacts expected. Normal activities can continue without concern for flooding.
On December 2, 2024, the barometric pressure is high at 1018.1 hPa during the time of high tides, significantly above the low-pressure thresholds associated with past flood events. The maximum tide height reaches approximately 19.95 ft at 6:36 AM, which is below the critical levels observed in historical flooding (over 21 ft). Wind speeds are minimal at 2 mph from the NE (36 degrees), and there is no significant wind influence from the W/NW that could exacerbate tidal effects. NOAA's flood likelihood is low at 0.6%, with a distance to the flood threshold of -1.26 meters, indicating tides are well below levels of concern. Compared to historical data, all factors suggest there is no substantial flood risk on this day.

WHAT No risk of flooding expected. Normal coastal conditions anticipated.
WHEN All day.
IMPACTS No impacts expected. Normal activities can continue without concern for flooding.
For December 3, 2024, the barometric pressure remains high at 1019.06 hPa during the morning high tide at 7:12 AM. The tide height peaks at approximately 20.06 ft, still below the thresholds linked to flooding events in the past. Wind speeds are low, ranging from 2 to 4 mph, primarily from the N and NE directions, which do not contribute to increased flood risk. NOAA reports a low flood likelihood of 1.1%, with tides staying 1.12 meters below the flooding threshold. There are no significant deviations from normal conditions when compared to historical flood events, indicating no risk of flooding.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT No risk of flooding expected. Slight decrease in barometric pressure but conditions remain stable.
WHEN All day.
IMPACTS No impacts expected. Normal activities can proceed as usual.
On December 4, 2024, the barometric pressure slightly decreases to 1012.05 hPa during the high tide at 7:54 AM. While this is a reduction from previous days, it remains well above the low-pressure conditions associated with historical flooding events (below 1002 hPa). The tide height reaches approximately 20.08 ft, which is still under the critical 21 ft mark necessary for flooding concerns when combined with low pressure. Wind conditions are calm, with speeds around 1 to 3 mph from varying directions, and do not pose any additional flood risk. NOAA's flood likelihood is low at 1.3%, with tides 1.08 meters below the flood threshold. Despite the slight changes, there are no indicators of potential flooding based on historical comparisons.
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.
