Redondo Beach, WA
CATEGORY 1
WHAT... Given the current weather data, there is minimal risk of flooding. Weather conditions indicate clear skies with zero precipitation, and the tide levels, although rising, are not forecasted to reach thresholds near the historical flood event on 12/17/2022.
WHEN... Throughout the day of November 20, 2023, there is a low potential for flooding based on the available weather data and tide predictions.
The highest tide level predicted for this day is significantly lower than the 19.625 feet observed during the Category 5 flood event in December 2022. Additionally, barometric pressure is much higher than the threshold of <= 966 millibars associated with the historical flood event.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT... There is a slight risk of flooding due to rising tide levels. However, there's no immediate cause for concern as the highest tide levels are expected to be lower than critical thresholds, and weather conditions indicate no significant precipitation that would contribute to flooding.
WHEN... On November 21, 2023, monitor the situation especially during times of high tide. However, based on current data, significant flooding is unlikely.
The predicted tide levels show an increase from Day 1 but still remain below the historical flood event threshold. Barometric pressure readings are well above 966 millibars, indicating stable weather conditions not conducive to storm surges or heavy rainfall that could lead to flooding.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT... The risk of flooding remains slight with no significant change from Day 2. Tide levels are expected to be moderately high but still below critical levels. Weather conditions continue to show minimal precipitation risk.
WHEN... On November 22, 2023, it's advisable to keep an eye on tidal movements particularly if residing in low-lying coastal areas. The risk remains relatively low based on current predictions.
Tide predictions for this day do not approach those seen during the Category 5 flood event. The barometric pressure remains high and stable, which does not suggest extreme weather patterns typically associated with flooding events.
PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS... Although the current analysis indicates a low risk of flooding over the next three days, it's important to stay informed through local weather updates and authorities. Environmental conditions can change rapidly and unexpectedly. For residents in areas susceptible to flooding or those requiring more comprehensive analysis including hydrodynamic data or ground saturation levels, please consult with local experts or authorities for preparedness and action plans.
