CATEGORY 2
WHAT No risk of flooding is expected. Normal tidal conditions anticipated.
WHEN Throughout December 12, 2024.
IMPACTS No impacts anticipated. Coastal areas should experience typical conditions without any flood-related concerns.
The barometric pressure during the high tide at 1:18 PM is significantly high at 1027.60 hPa, indicating stable atmospheric conditions. The tide height reaches 20.353 feet at this time, which is below the historical flood threshold of 21 feet. Wind speeds are low, averaging around 2-3 mph with an easterly to southerly direction. NOAA's flood likelihood is low at 3.7%, with the water level being 0.85 meters below the flood threshold. Comparing these conditions to historical data, the combination of high barometric pressure and tide height suggests no risk of flooding for today.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT No risk of flooding is expected. Tidal conditions remain normal.
WHEN Throughout December 13, 2024.
IMPACTS No impacts anticipated. Expect standard coastal conditions without flood concerns.
During the high tide at 2:00 PM, the barometric pressure is 1026.54 hPa, maintaining the pattern of stable weather. The tide height is 20.234 feet, slightly lower than the previous day and still under the 21-foot threshold associated with flooding events. Wind speeds are modest, ranging from 3 to 6 mph, predominantly from the southeast. NOAA reports a low flood likelihood at 2.6%, with water levels 0.93 meters below the flood threshold. Historical comparisons reinforce that the current conditions do not pose a flood risk for today.
CATEGORY 3
WHAT Close to a flood event and worth monitoring, but flooding is unlikely to cause damage.
WHEN Early morning hours of December 14, 2024, particularly around the high tide at 5:00 AM.
IMPACTS Minor inundation of low-lying areas is possible. Coastal walkways and beaches may experience higher water levels, but significant property damage is not expected.
The barometric pressure drops to 1015.45 hPa during the high tide at 5:00 AM, which is lower than the previous days but remains above the levels observed in historical flooding events. The tide height reaches 19.631 feet, which is higher than the tide heights on Days 1 and 2 but still below the critical 21-foot threshold. Wind speeds increase to between 7 and 10 mph from the southeast, which may contribute to slightly higher water levels along the coast. NOAA's flood likelihood is low at 1.4%, with water levels 1.12 meters below the flood threshold. Although the barometric pressure is decreasing, the combination of factors suggests that significant flooding is unlikely. However, it is prudent to monitor conditions, especially in traditionally vulnerable areas.
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.
