Redondo Beach, WA
CATEGORY 3
WHAT... Limited risk of flood due to moderate high tide levels combined with overcast weather conditions.
WHEN... The risk remains throughout the day, with the highest tide at 05:54 potentially increasing flood impact.
Weather conditions do not suggest extreme rainfall or wind speeds that would significantly elevate flood risks. Barometric pressure readings are not low enough to indicate a likely flood event. The tide levels, although relatively high, do not approach the historical threshold that led to a Category 5 event. Precautionary monitoring is advised.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT... Low flood risk despite overcast conditions and potential for light precipitation in the evening.
WHEN... Persistent overcast throughout the day with the highest tide at 09:00. Light rain in the forecast for the evening may require attention.
The combination of overcast weather and high tide in the morning suggests minimal flood risk. Light precipitation expected in the evening should be monitored, but current data does not indicate a significant likelihood of flooding. Barometric pressure remains relatively stable.
CATEGORY 4
WHAT... Moderate to high risk of flooding due to high tide levels and consistent rain throughout the day.
WHEN... Increased risk during morning high tides, with potential patchy rain amplifying conditions for localized flooding.
The weather forecast shows persistent rain which, combined with high tide levels peaking at 09:00, could lead to localized flooding similar to historical events albeit with less severity. The barometric pressure is not as low as during the Category 5 event but warrants close monitoring due to continuous rainfall and elevated tide levels.
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 definitive guidance on flood-related situations.
