IMPACTS: Minor flooding of low-lying areas, parks, and roads. Isolated road closures possible.

ADDITIONAL DETAILS...

The barometric pressure during the high tide at 4:54 AM is relatively high at 1021.81 hPa, indicating less severe weather conditions. The tide height is expected to reach approximately 19.17 feet, which is higher than the historical Category 3 event (17.46 feet) but lower than Category 4 events (over 20 feet). Wind speeds are moderate at around 14 mph from the south-southwest direction. NOAA's flood likelihood is low, with a 0.0% chance of flooding and a distance of -1.99 meters below the flood threshold.

The tide height is expected to be around 19.70 feet, similar to Day 1 but with higher pressure and lower wind speeds. Wind speeds are low at 2-3 mph, coming from the north and north-northwest directions. NOAA's flood likelihood remains low at 0.1%, with a distance of -1.52 meters below the flood threshold. These conditions suggest a minimal risk of flooding.
