CATEGORY 2
WHAT No significant flooding expected. Normal tidal conditions anticipated with minor fluctuations.
WHEN Throughout the day on December 5, 2024.
IMPACTS No impacts expected. Coastal areas remain safe with standard precautions.
On December 5, 2024, high tides are forecasted at 8:36 AM with a tide height of approximately 20.07 feet and at 6:06 PM with slightly lower levels. The barometric pressure during these times is relatively high at 1013.41 hPa and 1020.51 hPa, significantly above the thresholds associated with historical flooding events. Wind speeds are minimal, ranging from 2 to 4 mph, with a southerly wind direction near 183 degrees. NOAA's Flood Likelihood is low at 1.0%, indicating minimal risk of coastal flooding. Compared to the historical Category 3 event on 12/27/2023, which had a lower tide height of 17.46 feet and a lower barometric pressure of 1006.1 hPa, the current conditions suggest an even lower risk of flooding.

WHAT No significant flooding expected. Standard tidal activity with minor variations.
WHEN Throughout the day on December 6, 2024.
IMPACTS No impacts expected. Coastal operations continue as usual.
On December 6, 2024, high tides are expected at 9:18 AM with a tide height of approximately 20.04 feet and at 7:12 PM. Barometric pressures are very high at 1025.66 hPa and 1027.92 hPa, indicating stable atmospheric conditions with low flood risk potential. Wind speeds remain low, between 2 and 6 mph, coming from the south-southeast at around 152 to 186 degrees. NOAA's Flood Likelihood remains low at 1.0%. These conditions are favorable compared to the historical Category 4 event on 11/15/2021, which had a higher tide height of 21.506 feet and a significantly lower barometric pressure of 1002 hPa, leading to flooding.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT No significant flooding expected. Anticipated tidal patterns without substantial anomalies.
WHEN Throughout the day on December 7, 2024.
IMPACTS No impacts expected. Routine coastal activities can proceed without concern.
On December 7, 2024, high tides are forecasted at 10:00 AM with a tide height of approximately 20.08 feet and at 12:18 AM. Barometric pressures are at 1022.54 hPa and 1024.94 hPa, maintaining high-pressure conditions that are not conducive to flooding. Wind speeds are slightly higher, ranging from 7 to 17 mph, with a south-southwest direction between 159 to 203 degrees. NOAA's Flood Likelihood is low at 1.3%. The conditions are less severe than the historical Category 5 event on 12/27/2022, which had a tide height of 22.297 feet and a low barometric pressure of 978.4 hPa, resulting in significant flooding and property damage.
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.
