Redondo Beach, WA
CATEGORY 2
WHAT... Low likelihood of minor coastal flooding due to observed weather conditions and predicted high tide levels.
WHEN... The predicted high tide reaching its peak at approximately 6:00 AM with a height of 18.42 feet, combined with clear skies and stable barometric pressure suggests a lower risk for flooding.
The weather data indicates clear conditions with no significant precipitation expected, reducing the risk of flooding. However, the high tide levels are relatively elevated, though still below the threshold observed during the historical Category 5 event. Barometric pressure is stable and significantly above the reference low of 966 millibars, which diminishes the immediate flood risk.
CATEGORY 3
WHAT... Moderate risk of coastal flooding due to incoming light rain and consistent high tide levels.
WHEN... The combination of light rain throughout the early morning hours and a high tide peaking at 19.55 feet at around 6:00 AM could lead to minor coastal flooding in low-lying areas.
Weather conditions show light precipitation which could contribute to rising water levels especially in areas already impacted by high tides. The tide height is approaching the historical threshold but is not anticipated to exceed it based on current predictions. Barometric pressure is notably higher than the reference event, suggesting less intense storm conditions.
CATEGORY 1
WHAT... Minimal risk of flooding with mostly clear weather expected and moderate high tide predictions.
WHEN... High tide levels are predicted to peak at approximately 19.55 feet at around 6:00 AM but will coincide with mostly clear skies and no significant rainfall.
The weather forecast indicates sunny conditions, minimizing the risk of flood-related weather contributions. Tide levels are lower than on Day 2 and do not present an immediate threat when compared to historical data benchmarks. Barometric pressure remains stable and well above the low-pressure system associated with significant flooding events.
PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS... Monitor forecasts and be aware of local tide schedules. Those living in areas prone to coastal flooding should remain informed and prepared to act if conditions change. Consult with local authorities for the most current information and instructions tailored to your specific location.
