Flood Watch

Redondo Beach, WA

Day 1: 2023-12-13

CATEGORY 2

WHAT... Minimal flood risk due to high barometric pressure despite high tide levels.

WHEN... The highest risk is during the high tides, particularly at 06:06 and 15:36, though significant flooding is unlikely due to favorable weather conditions.

ADDITIONAL DETAILS...

The tide levels are not reaching the historical flood event thresholds, and barometric pressure is significantly higher than the reference events, which greatly reduces the likelihood of flooding. The weather data indicates clear conditions with no significant precipitation to contribute to flooding risks.

Day 2: 2023-12-14

CATEGORY 3

WHAT... Moderate flood risk with a combination of high tide and increased likelihood of precipitation.

WHEN... Elevated risk during high tide periods, especially around 06:48 and 16:18. The potential for light drizzle increases the risk slightly compared to Day 1.

ADDITIONAL DETAILS...

Although the barometric pressure remains high, which usually implies a lower flood risk, the predicted patchy rain and overcast conditions may contribute to slightly increased risk levels. Tide levels are still below historical flooding thresholds but warrant attention due to forecasted weather changes.

Day 3: 2023-12-15

CATEGORY 4

WHAT... Elevated flood risk due to a combination of high tides, forecasted rain, and slightly lower barometric pressure.

WHEN... Concern for possible flooding peaks during the high tides at 07:30 and 17:06.

ADDITIONAL DETAILS...

The barometric pressure on Day 3 is closer to historical flooding events, although still not below threshold levels. Combined with higher tides and forecasted drizzle, the flood risk is elevated compared to the previous days. Weather patterns should be closely monitored for any changes that could increase risk further.

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.
