Flood Watch

Redondo Beach, WA

Day 1: 2023-12-06

CATEGORY 1

WHAT... Minimal flood potential based on current weather data and tide predictions.

WHEN... No immediate concern for flooding on this date as the conditions do not align with historical flood events.

ADDITIONAL DETAILS...

The barometric pressure is well above the threshold associated with the Category 5 event in the past, and tide levels are not forecasted to reach levels of significant concern. The weather conditions also do not indicate a high likelihood of precipitation, which lowers the risk of flooding.

Day 2: 2023-12-07

CATEGORY 1

WHAT... Low flood potential based on current weather data and tide predictions.

WHEN... No significant risk of high-tide flooding despite a slight increase in tide levels compared to Day 1.

ADDITIONAL DETAILS...

The mean pressure MSL is above the critical threshold, and there is no significant precipitation forecasted. The tide level is not expected to reach a height that would concern flood risk thresholds. Wind conditions also do not indicate a significant storm surge potential.

Day 3: 2023-12-08

CATEGORY 2

WHAT... Slightly elevated but still low flood potential due to slightly higher tides.

WHEN... The risk of flooding remains low; however, higher tide levels warrant attention to changing conditions.

ADDITIONAL DETAILS...

Barometric pressure remains high, reducing the risk of flooding. However, an increased tide level requires monitoring, although it's still below the threshold of historical flooding events. No extreme weather events are forecasted that could combine with high tides to increase flood risks substantially.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

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. With barometric pressure readings well above critical levels and moderate tide predictions, the likelihood of flooding based on the provided data is low for the next three days. Always consult with local authorities for the most current information and emergency planning.
