WHEN No significant flooding risk during this period.

IMPACTS No significant impacts anticipated.

ADDITIONAL DETAILS...

On December 9, 2024, the high tide is expected at 11:24 AM with a tide height of approximately 20.228 feet. The barometric pressure at this time is forecasted to be around 1023.15 hPa, which is significantly higher than the thresholds associated with historical flood events (e.g., pressures below 992.8 hPa). Wind speeds are low, around 4 mph, coming from the northerly direction, which does not contribute to increased flood risk. NOAA's Flood Likelihood is low at 1.8%, indicating minimal chances of flooding. Compared to historical events categorized as higher risk, today's conditions suggest no substantial flood risk, placing this day in Category 2.

Day 2: 2024-12-10

CATEGORY 2

WHAT No coastal flooding expected. Tides and weather conditions are within normal ranges.

WHEN No significant flooding risk during this period.

IMPACTS No significant impacts anticipated.

ADDITIONAL DETAILS...

On December 10, 2024, the high tide is anticipated at 12:00 PM with a tide height of approximately 20.317 feet. The barometric pressure is expected to be around 1031.41 hPa, considerably higher than pressures observed during historical flooding events. Wind speeds remain low, averaging 3-5 mph, with wind directions from the north-northeast, which are not known to exacerbate flooding conditions. NOAA's Flood Likelihood for this day is low at 3.6%. The combination of high barometric pressure, moderate tide heights, and benign wind conditions indicates no significant flood risk, thus categorizing this day as Category 2.

Day 3: 2024-12-11

CATEGORY 1

WHAT No coastal flooding expected. Tides and weather conditions are within normal ranges.

WHEN No significant flooding risk during this period.

IMPACTS No significant impacts anticipated.

ADDITIONAL DETAILS...

On December 11, 2024, there are two high tides: one at 1:36 AM with a tide height of approximately 16.710 feet, and another at 12:00 PM with a tide height around 20.151 feet. The barometric pressure is forecasted to be around 1030.17 hPa during these periods, which is significantly higher than the low-pressure systems associated with past flooding events. Wind speeds are moderate, ranging from 5-12 mph, coming predominantly from the south-southeast, which does not align with wind directions that have historically contributed to flooding in the area. NOAA's Flood Likelihood remains low at 3.4%. Given the lower tide heights compared to previous days and maintaining high barometric pressure, there is no anticipated flood risk, placing this day in Category 1.
