#Flood Watch
Redondo Beach, WA
Day 1: 2023-11-10
CATEGORY 2
WHAT... Based on the provided data, there is a potential for minor coastal flooding due to high tide events. The weather conditions indicate overcast skies with limited precipitation, which might reduce the immediate risk of flooding from rainfall. However, the high tide levels are relatively high.
WHEN... The highest risk of coastal flooding correlates with the high tide times, particularly around the early morning hours when tides peak.
ADDITIONAL DETAILS...
While the weather data does not indicate extreme low pressure or significant precipitation, which would suggest a higher risk of flooding, the tide data shows elevated levels, albeit lower than the historical Category 3 threshold. No significant windspeeds or storm conditions are reported that would elevate the risk further.
Day 2: 2023-11-11
CATEGORY 2
WHAT... Minor to moderate coastal flooding potential due to high tide events remains. Weather conditions do not suggest a significant increase in flood risk due to moderate pressure and a lack of substantial precipitation.
WHEN... Similar to Day 1, the risk aligns with high tide times. Attention should be given to the late night to early morning hours where tides reach their peak levels.
ADDITIONAL DETAILS...
The barometric pressure remains above the critical threshold indicated by historical Category 3 events. However, elevated tide levels persist and could result in localized minor flooding, especially in low-lying coastal areas.
Day 3: 2023-11-12
CATEGORY 1
WHAT... The potential for coastal flooding appears to be reduced slightly compared to the previous days. Weather conditions suggest an overcast day with a minimal chance of precipitation contributing to flood risks.
WHEN... The likelihood of coastal flooding remains tied to high tides, with particular attention needed during early morning hours when tides are at their highest.
ADDITIONAL DETAILS...
Tide heights are not reaching as critical levels as they were in previous days, and barometric pressure is not indicative of major storm conditions. Thus, the risk category is lower than on previous days but should still be monitored for any changes.
