#Flood Watch Redondo Beach, WA

Day 1: 2023-11-10

CATEGORY 2 WHAT... The analysis of the provided weather data for Redondo Beach, WA, indicates light rain and overcast conditions with minimal precipitation expected (0.0 inches). The tide prediction shows high tide levels peaking at 19.003 feet, which is significantly lower than the historical event threshold of 21 feet and a barometric pressure reading above the reference point of <= 966 hPa (lowest is 1016 hPa). WHEN... While high tide levels are not expected to reach the historical flood event threshold on this day, there is always a potential for localized flooding in low-lying areas due to rainfall, especially during high tide times early in the morning.

ADDITIONAL DETAILS...

Given the lower barometric pressure and lower predicted tide levels compared to historical flood event thresholds, the flood risk is categorized as lower on this day. However, residents in areas prone to flooding should remain aware of the possibility of rising waters due to rainfall and tidal effects.

Day 2: 2023-11-11

CATEGORY 2 WHAT... Overcast conditions with stronger winds are expected, suggesting a possible increase in weather intensity. However, rainfall is still minimal (0.1 inches maximum) and high tides are predicted to reach up to 19.020 feet, which is again below the critical threshold observed during the historical flood. WHEN... Similar to Day 1, the high tide early in the morning does not coincide with significant precipitation, which may reduce the immediate risk of flooding. However, the increased wind speeds could contribute to higher wave action and water levels.

ADDITIONAL DETAILS...

The weather data suggests a continued low risk for major flooding events but includes slightly stronger winds than Day 1. As before, caution is advised around high tides, especially for coastal areas and places with known water accumulation.

Day 3: 2023-11-12

CATEGORY 2 WHAT... Persistent overcast conditions will continue with slightly higher precipitation expected than previous days (up to 0.0 inches). High tides are predicted to peak at 18.448 feet, which remains below the historical flood reference point. WHEN... No significant changes in weather patterns that could lead to flooding have been observed. High tides in combination with any rainfall should be monitored for potential localized flooding.

ADDITIONAL DETAILS...

Taking into account both weather and tide data provided, there remains a low risk for major flooding events. Nonetheless, localized issues could still arise due to combined effects of rainfall and high tide levels even though they are below critical thresholds. PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS... Please continue to monitor local weather forecasts and tide tables for any updates or changes. Be prepared for possible localized flooding, especially during high tide times or in case of unexpected increases in rainfall intensity. As always, defer to local authorities for emergency instructions and evacuation orders if necessary.
