WHAT No risk of flooding is expected. Normal tidal conditions with no anticipated impacts.
WHEN No flooding risk is forecasted for this day.
IMPACTS No flooding impacts are expected. Coastal areas and infrastructure should remain unaffected.
On 2024-12-08, the barometric pressure during the high tides is significantly high, measuring 1025.82 hPa at 10:42 AM and 1023.61 hPa at 10:18 PM. These pressures are substantially higher than those recorded during historical flood events, where pressures fell below 1006.1 hPa for Category 3 events and even lower for more severe categories.
The tide heights at the times of high tide are approximately 20.14 ft at 10:42 AM and 15.36 ft at 10:18 PM. While the morning high tide is higher than the Category 3 historical event, the accompanying high barometric pressure greatly reduces flood risk.
Wind speeds are low, ranging from 7 to 12 km/h (4 to 7 mph), with wind directions predominantly from the SSW. These conditions are not conducive to coastal flooding.
NOAA's flood likelihood for this date is low at 1.5%, with the tide level being 1.05 meters below the flood threshold. This indicates a minimal risk of flooding, providing further reassurance.
Comparing these conditions with historical data, especially the Category 3 event on 12/27/2023, it is evident that the current barometric pressure is much higher, and the tide heights are below the critical levels associated with flooding. Therefore, there is no significant risk of flooding on this day.

WHAT No risk of flooding is expected. Tidal activity remains within normal ranges with no expected impacts.
WHEN No flooding risk is forecasted for this day.
IMPACTS No flooding impacts are expected. All coastal activities can proceed as usual.
On 2024-12-09, the barometric pressure during the high tide at 11:24 AM is 1023.99 hPa, which is considerably higher than pressures associated with historical flooding events. The tide height at this time is estimated to be slightly lower than the previous day, remaining under 20 ft.
Wind conditions are calm, with low wind speeds and directions that do not align with those that have historically contributed to flooding in the area.
NOAA's flood likelihood remains low at 1.8%, with the tide level 1.0 meter below the flood threshold. This further supports the assessment of no significant flood risk.
Given these factors, including high barometric pressure, moderate tide heights, calm winds, and low NOAA flood likelihood, there is no anticipated risk of flooding on this day.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT No risk of flooding is expected. Expected tidal conditions pose no threat.
WHEN No flooding risk is forecasted for this day.
IMPACTS No flooding impacts are expected. Coastal areas should remain unaffected.
For 2024-12-10, the barometric pressure is exceptionally high at 1027.94 hPa during the high tide at 12:00 PM. This is significantly above any pressures recorded during historical flood events, where pressures were at or below 1006.1 hPa for lesser categories.
The tide height is projected to be below 20 ft, which is under the critical level associated with flooding. NOAA's flood likelihood slightly increases to 3.6%, but the tide is still 0.85 meters below the flood threshold, classifying the risk as low.
Wind speeds remain low, and the wind direction does not contribute to increased flood risk.
Considering the high barometric pressure, moderate tide heights, low NOAA flood likelihood, and calm wind conditions, there is no significant risk of flooding anticipated on this day.
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.
