Flood Watch

Redondo Beach, WA

Day 1: 2023-11-19

CATEGORY 1

WHAT... The potential for flooding is considered low based on the current weather data and high tide predictions. While overcast conditions are present, there is minimal precipitation expected, and the barometric pressure is significantly higher than the historical reference point used for a Category 5 event.

WHEN... Throughout November 19th, no significant flood-inducing weather conditions are expected.

ADDITIONAL DETAILS...

The weather conditions indicate a mostly overcast day with no substantial rainfall. The predicted high tide for this date does not approach the threshold associated with historical flooding events in the area. The highest tide level is expected to be significantly lower than the reference point of 19.625 feet. Additionally, the barometric pressure is forecasted to be well above 966 millibars, which further decreases the likelihood of a flood event similar to the historical Category 5 event.

Day 2: 2023-11-20

CATEGORY 1

WHAT... Flooding risk remains low for this date. Weather conditions suggest partly cloudy skies with minimal precipitation, and the barometric pressure is stable at values that do not suggest a high risk of flooding.

WHEN... Throughout November 20th, conditions are forecasted to be non-threatening concerning flood risks.

ADDITIONAL DETAILS...

The weather data shows low cloud cover with only a slight chance of drizzle and no significant rainfall. High tides on this day remain well below the historically critical levels, and barometric pressure readings are well within safe ranges. These factors combined suggest that flood potential remains low.

Day 3: 2023-11-21

CATEGORY 2

WHAT... There is a slight increase in flood risk due to expected precipitation later in the day. However, this risk remains moderate as overall weather conditions and tide levels do not align with those experienced during Category 5 events.

WHEN... Light drizzle is expected by the evening of November 21st, which may persist into the night. This may lead to local increases in water levels but not to an extent that would typically cause widespread flooding.

ADDITIONAL DETAILS...

While there is an increase in cloud cover and a chance of light drizzle by evening, it does not coincide with extreme high tide levels or significantly low barometric pressure readings. The highest tide predicted for this day does not present immediate concern when compared against past severe flooding events.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS... Although the flood potential categories are low for these days based on provided data analysis, it's important to remain vigilant and continue to monitor updates from local weather services and government agencies. Please be aware that these analyses are based solely on available atmospheric conditions and high tide forecasts without consideration of ground saturation or other hydrodynamic factors.
