Redondo Beach, WA
CATEGORY 2
WHAT... Low risk of flooding due to moderate high tides and significantly high barometric pressure, which reduces the likelihood of severe flooding.
WHEN... The forecast for the day shows no indication of extreme weather that would contribute to a flooding event. The high tide at 00:00 has already occurred with a much higher than threshold pressure, which aligns with the low likelihood of flooding.
Despite overcast conditions with light rain and mist, the barometric pressure is notably high (over 1030 hPa), well above the threshold associated with the historical flood event that had pressure at or below 966 hPa. The tide height is not reaching concerning levels as seen in the historical event, and NOAA's Flood Likelihood Analysis indicates a 0.0% likelihood of flooding. Weather is stable with no signs of significant wind from W/NW that could elevate risks.
CATEGORY 1
WHAT... Very low risk of flooding due to stable weather conditions and very high barometric pressure which greatly diminishes the chance of flooding.
WHEN... The weather conditions continue to be stable with no significant precipitation or strong winds that could contribute to flooding. The high tide at 00:00 will also occur under high barometric pressure conditions.
The barometric pressure is significantly high (around 1040 hPa), thereby reducing the risk of flooding despite high tide events. No significant precipitation is indicated in the weather data, and NOAA's analysis reiterates a low likelihood of floods. Conditions appear to be more stable than on the previous day, with no factors presenting an immediate threat.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT... Low risk of flooding similar to day one, considering moderate high tides and high barometric pressure.
WHEN... Throughout the day, similarly to December 9th, there are no anticipated extreme weather conditions that would support a high-risk flood scenario.
High barometric pressure persists, although slightly lower than on December 10th (around 1042 hPa early dropping to around 1038 hPa later in the day), which still provides a buffer against flooding potential. Tide heights remain unremarkable and well below thresholds known for causing floods, and NOAA's analysis supports these findings with another day of low flood likelihood ratings.
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.
