Redondo Beach, WA
CATEGORY 2
WHAT... Based on the provided weather data and high tide predictions for Redondo Beach, WA, there is a potential for minor flooding. The highest tide level is observed to be significantly lower than the historical event that triggered a Category 5 flood. However, constant overcast weather with moderate winds can contribute to water accumulation in susceptible areas.
WHEN... The risk may be more pronounced during the high tide times, especially early in the morning when the tide level peaks.
The highest tide level recorded is approximately 19 feet, which is below the threshold of the historical Category 5 event (21 feet or higher). The barometric pressure is also considerably higher than the threshold of <= 966, suggesting less likelihood of a severe flood event. However, residents in flood-prone areas should remain vigilant as local conditions such as rainfall intensity and wind speed can exacerbate flood risks.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT... Similar to Day 1, the flood risk remains at a minor level for the second day. The weather conditions are overcast, with chances of rain indicated by patchy rain possible in the forecast.
WHEN... The potential for flooding exists but remains low throughout the day. Attention should be given to times of high tide as they may elevate local water levels temporarily.
The tide levels continue to remain below the historical Category 5 event benchmark, with a maximum of around 18 feet for Day 2. The barometric pressure readings are stable and not indicative of a significant storm system that could result in major flooding. Nevertheless, localized flooding in low-lying areas cannot be ruled out due to expected rainfall.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT... The flood potential on Day 3 continues to be minor. There is an increased chance of precipitation, and the tides are again lower than the significant historical flood benchmark.
WHEN... As with previous days, residents should be cautious during high tide periods. Increased rainfall might cause localized flooding issues.
Tide levels peak slightly lower than on previous days at just below 19 feet. Coupled with moderate rainfall, this suggests that while widespread severe flooding is unlikely, there could be instances of localized flooding during high tides or intense rain showers.
PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS... Residents should monitor forecasts and stay alert for possible Flood Warnings from local authorities. Those living in areas prone to flooding should prepare for possible water accumulation and take action according to official community guidelines. It’s important to note that this flood risk assessment does not account for ground saturation or hydrodynamic factors which can influence actual conditions.
