Coastal Flooding Predictions for December 2023
We’re always amazed how NOAA’s high tide flooding predictions change so significantly from month to month! This month the Pacific Northwest will see the most flooding, while Florida and the Southeast will be relatively spared.
Important: These predictions do not account for real-time weather conditions where wind and weather conditions may cause additional flooding outside of predicted windows. To see water levels in real-time and track storms, visit NOAA’s Coastal Inundation Dashboard.
About these Predictions: “These flooding likelihoods are derived from a probabilistic model that incorporates tide predictions, sea level rise trends, and seasonal changes in coastal sea level to predict the potential that a higher than normal high tide may exceed established National Ocean Service flood thresholds. During these periods, high tide flooding may occur in flood-prone areas.” NOAA
