Redondo Beach, WA
CATEGORY 2
WHAT... Low flood risk due to largely dry conditions. No significant precipitation is expected, and barometric pressure is relatively stable, which suggests no major storm systems impacting the area.
WHEN... Throughout the day, the flood risk remains low despite the high tide predictions, as weather conditions do not indicate significant rainfall that could contribute to flooding.
The tide heights are forecasted to reach around 19 feet, which is just below the historical threshold identified in previous flood events. However, without substantial rainfall and with barometric pressure not indicating a storm system, the risk of flooding remains low.
CATEGORY 4
WHAT... Moderate flood risk due to increased precipitation and consistent high tide levels. Light rain and drizzle are predicted throughout the day, which may contribute to localized flooding if combined with high tide conditions.
WHEN... Risk of flooding is likely to be higher during times of peak high tide, particularly as light rain persists throughout the day.
Tide heights are again approaching the 19-foot mark, and light rain accumulation over time can elevate flood risks. The barometric pressure is lower than on Day 1, indicating a potential weather system moving in that could bring more precipitation.
CATEGORY 1
WHAT... Minimal risk of flooding, with mostly clear conditions and no significant precipitation forecasted. Barometric pressure remains stable, reducing the likelihood of intense weather systems contributing to flooding.
WHEN... The entire day should experience minimal flood risk as weather conditions remain clear with sunshine and partly cloudy skies.
Tide levels do not approach critical thresholds seen in historical flood events, and the weather is not conducive to heavy rainfall or storms that could lead to flooding.
PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS... While the forecast suggests varying degrees of flood risk over the next three days, it is important to stay updated with local weather advisories and tide predictions. For Day 2 with moderate flood risk, consider preparing for potential water accumulation in low-lying areas or near waterways during high tide. Always consult local authorities for emergency planning and real-time updates on potential weather developments. Remember that this analysis is based on available data points and does not account for ground saturation or local hydrodynamic factors that can influence flood risks.
