Flood Watch
Redondo Beach, WA
Day 1: 2023-11-10
CATEGORY 2
WHAT... The weather data indicates overcast conditions with no significant precipitation expected. High tide levels are projected around 16 to 19 feet, coupled with a barometric pressure ranging from 1016 to 1021, which are below the historical Category 5 event thresholds.
WHEN... The highest risk of raised water levels due to tides is likely to occur in the early morning hours when the tide reaches its peak. However, the absence of heavy rain and the relatively stable barometric pressure suggest a lower likelihood of flooding.
ADDITIONAL DETAILS...
Given the forecasted weather conditions and tidal data, there is a minimal risk for flooding. The high tide is not reaching the critical threshold seen in past significant flood events, and the weather is not conducive to heavy rainfall that could exacerbate tidal effects.
Day 2: 2023-11-11
CATEGORY 2
WHAT... Similar to Day 1, with overcast skies and potential for light drizzle. High tides are expected to reach around 17 to 19 feet. Barometric pressure is forecasted to decrease slightly, ranging from 1009 to 1013, which may indicate a marginal increase in flood risk compared to Day 1.
WHEN... The risk of high tides aligning with potential light rainfall may slightly increase the flood risk during midday.
ADDITIONAL DETAILS...
The combination of slightly lower barometric pressure and continuous overcast conditions with patchy rain might contribute to elevated water levels along the coast. However, without significant precipitation or extreme high tides, the overall flood risk remains low.

CATEGORY 2
WHAT... The overcast conditions persist with no significant rainfall expected. Predicted high tide levels show a slight decrease in height, peaking around 18 feet, with barometric pressure readings indicating stable weather conditions.
WHEN... Peak tide timings in the early morning hours should be monitored, although the overall flood risk remains low on this day as well.
ADDITIONAL DETAILS...
