Redondo Beach, WA
CATEGORY 3
WHAT... Elevated flood potential due to high tide but mitigated by moderate weather conditions.
WHEN... High tide and barometric pressure suggest a moderate risk during the highest tide peaks.
The tide reaches a high near 19.8 feet, slightly above the historical event, but the barometric pressure is significantly higher at a minimum of 1001 hPa compared to 966 hPa during the Category 5 event. Overcast weather with little precipitation and mild wind speeds lowers the immediate risk.
CATEGORY 4
WHAT... Increased flood potential due to persistent overcast conditions, drizzle, and high tide levels.
WHEN... The combination of slightly lower barometric pressure, consistent rain, and high tides in the evening could elevate the flood risk.
Tide levels are expected to be high again, with weather conditions conducive to light rain throughout the day. The pressure is lower than on Day 1 but still not as low as the historical event. Continuous precipitation and high tides are main concerns.
CATEGORY 4
