Redondo Beach, WA
CATEGORY 2
WHAT... Minor flood risk due to high tide and moderate pressure conditions.
WHEN... Elevated tide levels and sustained onshore winds may contribute to minor coastal flooding around the time of high tide on December 7th.
The high tide level is significant, but barometric pressure is not critically low, remaining above the threshold associated with severe flooding. Wind direction is not specified, but SSE winds could contribute to water level rise depending on speed and duration. Comparison with the historical event on 12/17/2022 shows less severe conditions, indicating a lower flood risk category.
CATEGORY 1
WHAT... Low flood risk despite high tide due to elevated barometric pressure.
WHEN... The risk of flooding is lowest during the forecast period, with high tides unlikely to cause significant issues due to stabilizing atmospheric conditions on December 8th.
Barometric pressure is higher than on the previous day, significantly reducing the risk of flooding. High tide levels are noted, but without the critical pressure drop seen in major flood events, their impact should be limited. The provided weather data doesn't indicate severe conditions that would elevate the risk.
CATEGORY 1
WHAT... Low flood risk due to very high barometric pressure and manageable high tide levels.
WHEN... Despite high tides, the likelihood of flooding remains low throughout December 9th due to favorable atmospheric pressure conditions.
The barometric pressure is well above the threshold for concern and even higher than the previous days, significantly mitigating any flood risk associated with the predicted tides. Wind direction from the W/NW could be a factor but is not strong enough to suggest a significant threat when combined with current data.
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. Always consult local authorities or experts for final decision-making in flood-related situations, as this analysis does not account for all possible factors such as ground saturation or local drainage issues.
