Flood Watch

Redondo Beach, WA

Day 1: 2023-12-11

CATEGORY 2

WHAT... Minimal flood risk due to relatively high barometric pressure and low precipitation, despite high tide levels.

WHEN... The risk persists throughout the day, with attention to high tide times when water levels are at their peak.

ADDITIONAL DETAILS...

The forecasted high tides for this day reach a maximum of 19.036 feet, which is below the historical threshold that caused significant flooding in the past. Additionally, the mean barometric pressure during the high tides is above 1035 hPa, indicating a lower likelihood of flooding given the higher atmospheric pressure. The weather data shows no significant precipitation, which further reduces the risk.

Day 2: 2023-12-12

CATEGORY 1

WHAT... Very low flood risk with stable barometric pressure and minimal precipitation expected.

WHEN... There is no specific time frame of heightened risk on this day.

ADDITIONAL DETAILS...

The high tides on this date are not predicted to exceed the threshold for significant flooding. The highest tide level is expected to be significantly lower than the historical event threshold. The mean pressure MSL during high tides remains well above 1030 hPa, which does not support the conditions for flooding. Weather conditions are stable with no substantial precipitation forecasted.

Day 3: 2023-12-13

CATEGORY 2

WHAT... Slight flood risk due to increased high tide levels but mitigated by very high barometric pressure and absence of significant precipitation.

WHEN... Similar to Day 1, vigilance during the peak of high tides is advised.

ADDITIONAL DETAILS...

The tide levels on this day are forecasted to be higher than those on Day 2 but still below critical levels experienced in previous flooding events. The mean barometric pressure during these tides will be exceptionally high, well above any risky thresholds. This factor combined with no considerable precipitation in the weather forecast suggests that flood risks remain low, although slightly higher than Day 2 due to increased tide levels.

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. Always follow instructions from local authorities regarding evacuations or other safety measures in case of unexpected weather changes.
