Redondo Beach, WA
CATEGORY 1
WHAT... No significant flood potential due to high barometric pressure and low likelihood of rainfall.
WHEN... The entire day of 2023-12-13, coinciding with low NOAA flood likelihood and high tide levels that are not indicative of flooding when compared to historical events.
The high tide level and the mean sea level pressure are not indicative of a flooding event. The NOAA Flood Likelihood is Low at 2.4%, with a large negative distance to the threshold, indicating a safe margin. The weather data shows clear conditions with no precipitation, and the barometric pressure is significantly higher than historical events that led to flooding.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT... Slight increase in flood potential due to higher NOAA flood likelihood but still limited by high barometric pressure.
WHEN... Throughout 2023-12-14, particularly around high tide times, although the risk remains low due to unfavorable conditions for flooding.
The NOAA Flood Likelihood is High at 5.9%, but the distance to the threshold is still negative. Despite this elevated likelihood, the high barometric pressure during high tides suggests a reduced risk of flooding. Weather conditions do not indicate significant rainfall or other contributory factors for flooding.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT... Continued slight increase in flood potential with consistent NOAA flood likelihood and slightly lower barometric pressure.
WHEN... During the day on 2023-12-15, with attention to high tide timings, despite the absence of strong indicators for flooding.
NOAA indicates a High Flood Likelihood of 6.8% for this day, similar to Day 2. The decrease in barometric pressure is noted but remains above historical flooding event thresholds. There is no precipitation forecasted, and visibility is good, which suggests no immediate threat from rainfall-driven flooding.
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. Local residents and authorities should continue to monitor the situation and remain aware of the high NOAA flood likelihood percentages despite the low-risk indicators present in tide levels and weather conditions. The absence of significant rainfall or low barometric pressure minimizes the immediate threat; however, vigilance is advised as conditions can change.
