Flood Watch

Redondo Beach, WA

Day 1: 2023-12-18

CATEGORY 1

WHAT... Analysis of Day 1's weather and tidal data indicates minimal flood risk as the high tides are not reaching historical flood event thresholds, and the barometric pressure is significantly higher than the historical events that led to flooding.

WHEN... Given the high tides do not coincide with low barometric pressures or match those of past significant flood events, the likelihood of flooding on this day is low.

ADDITIONAL DETAILS...

Despite high tides, the barometric pressures of 1036.864501953125 hPa in the morning and 1038.0645751953125 hPa in the evening are much higher than the threshold associated with previous floods. Current weather conditions also do not suggest substantial precipitation or storm activity that could contribute to increased risk.

Day 2: 2023-12-19

CATEGORY 1

WHAT... Comparative analysis for Day 2 continues to show minimal risk for flooding. The barometric pressure remains well above historical flood event levels, and though there is light rain forecasted, it does not appear to be significant enough to impact flooding probability.

WHEN... Flood risk for this day remains low due to stable barometric pressures (1038.8065185546875 hPa for the morning high tide and 1036.9998779296875 hPa for the evening), which are well above concerning levels.

ADDITIONAL DETAILS...

Weather conditions indicate light drizzle with no significant rainfall expected. The tides, although high, will likely not contribute to flooding without the presence of other exacerbating weather conditions or significantly lower barometric pressure.

Day 3: 2023-12-20

CATEGORY 1

WHAT... Focused analysis on Day 3's conditions shows a slight decrease in barometric pressure but still well above the threshold that has historically led to flooding events. The tide levels are not indicating any dramatic increase that would cause concern.

WHEN... The projection of flood risk for Day 3 is low despite a decrease in barometric pressure (1033.077392578125 hPa). This is because it remains much higher than past events that resulted in significant flooding.

ADDITIONAL DETAILS...

While there is an observable change in weather with clearer skies and potential for increased sunshine compared to the previous days, this will unlikely affect the overall low flood risk. The tide levels also do not suggest imminent risk as they are lower than historical flooding events.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

Residents and businesses 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, although current analyses suggest a low likelihood of such events. Always consult with local authorities or experts for final decision-making in flood-related situations. Ensure readiness with an emergency plan as weather conditions can change rapidly.
