Flood Watch

Redondo Beach, WA

Day 1: 2023-11-16

CATEGORY 1

WHAT... The weather data indicate no significant rainfall with only a slight chance of overcast conditions and light mist in the early hours, which suggests minimal risk of precipitation-induced flooding. The high tide peaks at approximately 19.9 feet, which is below the historical threshold for a major flood event.

WHEN... High tide is predicted to peak around 7:00 AM, and despite being a substantial tide, it falls short of the historical flooding benchmark.

ADDITIONAL DETAILS...

The barometric pressure remains well above the critical threshold associated with the Category 5 event previously recorded, hovering around 1019 to 1021 millibars. Humidity is high, but without significant rainfall, it's less of an immediate concern for flooding.

Day 2: 2023-11-17

CATEGORY 1

WHAT... Sunny weather is predicted with clear skies and no precipitation, leading to a very low risk of flood from weather conditions alone. The highest tide level is expected to be around 19.9 feet again, consistent with the previous day.

WHEN... Similar to Day 1, the greatest high tide height occurs early in the morning, and while it is reasonably high, it does not pose a significant risk of flooding when considering historical data.

ADDITIONAL DETAILS...

Barometric pressure remains stable and relatively high. Without any rainfall or significant drop in pressure, flood risk from weather conditions remains low.

Day 3: 2023-11-18

CATEGORY 2

WHAT... Weather data indicates a higher chance of overcast conditions later in the day with a possibility of light rain by evening, which could contribute to increased flood risks if combined with other factors. The highest tide level is expected to be lower than on previous days at around 19.7 feet.

WHEN... Light rain is anticipated in the evening around 6:00 PM onwards which coincides with a period of lowering tide levels thus reducing the overall flood risk from tidal influences.

ADDITIONAL DETAILS...

The barometric pressure starts higher but shows a slight decreasing trend throughout the day. Despite this change, it remains well above critical levels associated with historical flood events and no significant flooding is expected from tidal influence alone.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS... You should monitor later forecasts and be alert for possible Flood Warnings. Those living in areas prone to flooding should be prepared to take action should flooding develop based on real-time local observations and official warnings. Always consult with local authorities or experts for final decision-making in flood-related situations.
