Day 3: December 12, 2024

CATEGORY 1

WHAT No risk of flooding expected. High tides will pass without any adverse effects on the shoreline.

WHEN Throughout the day, notably during high tides around 3:00 AM and 1:18 PM PST.

IMPACTS No impacts anticipated. Coastal regions should experience typical conditions with no interruptions.

ADDITIONAL DETAILS...

Barometric pressure is slightly lower at 1027.10 hPa but remains well above the levels associated with flood risk, indicating stable atmospheric conditions. Tide heights peak at approximately 20.33 ft, which is below the critical levels seen in historical flooding incidents. Wind speeds are low to moderate, between 3 and 6 mph, with variable wind directions, minimizing the potential for wind-induced flooding. NOAA's flood likelihood is low at 3.7%, and the distance to the flood threshold is -0.85 meters, reinforcing the assessment of no flood risk. Compared to historical data, today's conditions do not align with those that have led to flooding in the past.
