Redondo Beach, WA
CATEGORY 3
WHAT... Current Weather and Tide Analysis indicates a moderate risk of flooding based on the provided data. The barometric pressure is well above the historical threshold associated with previous Category 4 events, suggesting a reduced risk of flooding despite the high tide. However, persistent overcast conditions and high humidity could contribute to minor flood events if rainfall increases.
WHEN... Highest risk during the high tide at 09:42 AM and 08:36 PM, although the significant barometric pressure diminishes the immediate threat for major flooding.
Weather observations indicate full cloud cover with steady barometric pressure well above critical levels, lowering the risk. No significant precipitation is expected. Historical data suggests that lower pressures are critical factors in flooding, which are not present today. The NOAA's likelihood for flooding remains high, but the lack of critical pressure readings and rain diminishes immediate concerns.
CATEGORY 3
WHAT... The pressure levels remain significantly above the historical flood event thresholds. Combined with NOAA's Flood Likelihood Analysis indicating a high percentage, there's a moderate risk for flooding during high tides. Again, rainfall appears to be minimal, reducing the potential impact.
WHEN... Monitoring is required around the times of high tide at 10:24 AM and 10:12 PM for any unexpected changes in weather patterns that could influence flood risks.
There's a slight decrease in barometric pressure compared to Day 1, yet it stays well above concerning levels. The weather forecast does not indicate a substantial precipitation increase; thus, flood risks remain moderate. Weather trends should continue to be monitored for unexpected developments.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT... There is a slight increase in flood potential due to a marginal drop in barometric pressure compared to previous days. However, it still remains above historic thresholds that would typically trigger flood events of Category 4 severity or higher.
WHEN... The period around the high tide at 11:06 AM calls for closer observation due to slightly more favorable conditions for flooding compared to previous days.
Despite a gradual decline in barometric pressure, it has not reached levels that are historically associated with major flooding events in Redondo Beach, WA. Nonetheless, any increase in rainfall or unforeseen drops in pressure could alter this forecast. As such, vigilance is advised.
Residents and authorities should monitor forecasts and remain alert for possible Flood Warnings. While current data suggests a lower risk of significant flooding without the presence of critically low barometric pressure or heavy rainfall, it is important to stay informed on local conditions as they evolve. Those living in areas prone to flooding should be prepared to take action should flooding develop and always refer to local authorities or experts for definitive guidance in flood-related situations.
