Redondo Beach, WA
CATEGORY 1
WHAT... Analysis of Day 1's weather and tidal data reveals no immediate concern for flooding when compared to historical events and Boeing Field's December 2022 data. Tidal heights are significantly lower than those seen in past flooding events, and barometric pressure readings are well above the thresholds associated with previous flood categories. No significant rainfall is reported, and weather conditions are relatively stable, with high pressures dominating the forecast.
WHEN... Given the current data, the flood risk for Day 1 is minimal. The high tide level of approximately 20.527 feet at 07:30 AM combined with a mean pressure MSL of 1035.9031982421875 hPa does not approach the historical thresholds for flooding at Redondo Beach.
The lack of correlation between high tide levels and low barometric pressure significantly diminishes the flood risk for Day 1. Historical data indicates that flood events typically correlate with lower pressures and higher tide levels, which is not currently the case.
CATEGORY 1
WHAT... Comparative analysis for Day 2 using similar parameters as Day 1 continues to show minimal flood risk. While the tide level at 18:06 PM is not provided, the barometric pressure remains higher than the threshold for previous flood categories. The lack of a corresponding low-pressure system suggests that conditions are not conducive to flooding.
WHEN... Flood risk for Day 2 remains minimal based on the provided forecasts, as there is no indication that barometric pressure will drop to concerning levels or that tide heights will reach critical thresholds.
Despite high tides being a component in assessing flood risks, the continued presence of high barometric pressure and absence of adverse weather conditions such as heavy rainfall or strong winds from the W/NW mitigate the likelihood of flooding.
CATEGORY 1
WHAT... Focused analysis on Day 3's conditions indicates that the weather conditions remain stable without significant concerns for flooding. Historical data comparison shows that both the predicted tide levels and barometric pressure readings are not indicative of previous flooding events.
WHEN... Projected flood risk for Day 3, based on comprehensive data analysis, suggests minimal chances for flooding given that both tide levels and barometric pressures do not align with historical flood-indicative readings.
The provided tide level of around 20.516 feet at 09:00 AM and a mean pressure MSL of 1031.07421875 hPa on Day 3 further support a low likelihood of flooding. No extreme weather events are forecasted that would elevate this risk within the next three days.
Residents should remain informed through local news outlets and updates from NOAA for any changes in forecasts. While current analyses show minimal risk, weather conditions can change rapidly, and residents should always have a plan in place for unexpected severe weather events. Consultation with local authorities or experts is advised for final decision-making in flood-related situations.
