Redondo Beach, WA
CATEGORY 2
WHAT... A moderate possibility of flood conditions due to high tide levels and slightly lower barometric pressure.
WHEN... The highest risk is during the time of high tide, with potential impacts on low-lying areas and roads close to the waterfront.
The current high tide level is predicted to be significantly lower than the historical event that caused flooding, and the barometric pressure is above the critical threshold. However, the overcast conditions with a moderate wind speed of 17 kmph from SSE could contribute to minor coastal surge issues.
CATEGORY 1
WHAT... A low likelihood of flood conditions due to relatively high barometric pressure and normal high tide levels.
WHEN... High tide presents the usual risk, but significant flooding is not expected due to favorable weather conditions and pressure readings.
The barometric pressure is much higher than during the historical flood event, indicating a stable atmosphere which reduces the risk of flooding. The weather is overcast with light drizzle, but without low pressure or extreme tides, flood risks remain minimal.
CATEGORY 1
WHAT... A low likelihood of flood conditions despite high tide levels due to very high barometric pressure.
WHEN... Usual vigilance during high tides should be exercised; however, significant flooding is unlikely.
The notable increase in barometric pressure suggests stable weather patterns, greatly reducing the chance of flooding despite higher tide levels. Clear skies and absence of significant rainfall further decrease flood risks.
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.
