Redondo Beach, WA
CATEGORY 2
WHAT... Expected high humidity and foggy conditions with very low wind speeds, alongside a notable high tide. However, no significant precipitation is forecasted.
WHEN... The current weather conditions and high tide data suggest a low risk of flooding during this period, with the highest tide at 20.398 feet occurring in the morning.
The highest predicted tide level is slightly above average but well below the historical flood event reference. Barometric pressure is steady and significantly higher than the reference low that would suggest storm conditions, which reduces the likelihood of a flood event. However, residents should remain alert due to high tide levels.
CATEGORY 3
WHAT... Moist conditions with possibility of light drizzle in the afternoon and high humidity levels. A high tide exceeding historical average but still lower than the Category 5 event threshold.
WHEN... Light precipitation combined with elevated tide levels may contribute to an increased risk of flooding, particularly during high tide peaks just before midday.
The highest tide level for this day reaches 20.406 feet, which is close to the historical threshold but not expected to cause major issues without additional precipitation or lower atmospheric pressure. The light drizzle and sustained humidity are factors that warrant a moderate flood risk warning.
CATEGORY 4
WHAT... Increased wind speeds and continued rain throughout the day with high humidity levels, coupled with very high tide predictions.
WHEN... Persistent rain and strong winds may enhance flood risks, especially during the peak tide in the morning hours.
The highest tide level for this day reaches 20.062 feet. The combination of expected rainfall, strong winds, and a high tide presents an elevated risk for flooding compared to previous days. This scenario warrants closer monitoring as conditions approach those similar to lower-category flooding events.
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. Consult local authorities or experts for more detailed information and follow any evacuation orders or safety instructions as conditions warrant.
