Redondo Beach, WA
CATEGORY 4
WHAT... Elevated risk of flood events due to high tide and high barometric pressure.
WHEN... Risk persists throughout the day with the occurrence of high tides.
The given tide peak at 06:48 with a barometric pressure of 1043.2 hPa, although significantly higher than the reference pressure threshold, indicates a lower risk of flooding compared to historical events. However, considering the NOAA's prediction of a high likelihood of flood on this day, residents should remain cautious and prepared for potential flooding.
CATEGORY 4
WHAT... Sustained risk of flood events due to high tide levels and decreasing barometric pressure throughout the day.
WHEN... Flood risk is especially elevated around the times of high tide in the morning and late afternoon.
With high tides occurring at times when barometric pressure is above the reference threshold but trending downwards, there is a consistent risk throughout the day. The NOAA's prediction points to a slightly increased likelihood of flood compared to the previous day. Continued vigilance is advised.
CATEGORY 5
WHAT... High risk of flood events due to very high tide levels and significantly lower barometric pressure, comparable to historical Category 5 events.
WHEN... The flood risk escalates during high tides, with close attention required in the late afternoon when conditions mirror those of previous severe flooding.
The combination of a very high tide at 18:06 and a barometric pressure of 1027.7 hPa closely aligns with the conditions observed during the Category 5 event on 12/27/2022. The NOAA forecast corroborates a high likelihood of flooding for this day, indicating an urgent need for preparation and precautionary measures.
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. Consult local authorities for emergency procedures and heed any evacuation orders or safety advisories.
