WHAT Minor coastal flooding possible during high tide, with potential inundation of low-lying areas near shorelines.
WHEN From 11:00 AM to 1:00 PM PST on December 10, 2024.
IMPACTS Minor flooding of low-lying areas, including parks and roads adjacent to the waterfront, may occur. No significant property damage is expected.
The tide is expected to reach approximately 20.317 feet at around 12:00 PM, which is higher than the historical Category 3 event but lower than Category 4 events. The barometric pressure is high at 1031.530 hPa during this time, indicating stable weather conditions and a reduced likelihood of significant flooding. Wind speeds are low at approximately 3 mph from the NNE (wind direction 21°), which is not associated with increased flood risk. NOAA's Flood Likelihood is low at 3.6%, considerably lower than during past flood events. While elevated tide heights warrant monitoring, the combination of high barometric pressure and low wind speeds suggests that major flooding is unlikely.

IMPACTS Minor flooding of low-lying areas, including parks and roads adjacent to the waterfront, may occur. No significant property damage is expected.
The tide is expected to reach approximately 20.369 feet at around 12:42 PM, similar to Day 1 and higher than the historical Category 3 event. Barometric pressure remains high at 1030.420 hPa during the midday high tide, indicating stable atmospheric conditions. Wind speeds are low to moderate at around 5 mph from the south (wind direction 170°), which does not significantly increase flood risk. NOAA's Flood Likelihood is low at 3.4%, still lower than during historical flood events. The elevated tide height suggests a need for monitoring, but the high barometric pressure and benign wind conditions keep the overall flood risk low.

IMPACTS Minor flooding of low-lying areas, including parks and roads adjacent to the waterfront, may occur. No significant property damage is expected.
The tide is expected to reach approximately 20.353 feet at around 1:18 PM, comparable to the previous two days. Barometric pressure is slightly lower at 1026.550 hPa during the high tide but remains significantly higher than during historical severe flood events. Wind speeds are moderate at around 6 mph from the south (wind direction 171°), which does not contribute to increased flood risk. NOAA's Flood Likelihood is low at 3.7%, similar to previous days. Despite the slight decrease in barometric pressure, the conditions are not indicative of a higher flood risk. The combination of moderate tide heights, high barometric pressure, and unremarkable wind conditions suggests that significant flooding is unlikely.
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.
