Redondo Beach, WA
CATEGORY 1
WHAT... The barometric pressure readings for the high tides on 2023-12-21 are substantially above the historical threshold that correlates with major flood events (1002 hPa and below). With pressure values well over 1030 hPa, and no indication of significant rainfall or low visibility that might suggest severe weather conditions, the flood risk remains low despite the high tides.
WHEN... Given the current data and historical comparisons, there's no immediate cause for alarm on this day. The chance of a flood event occurring similar to those categorized as a Category 4 or higher is minimal.
The tide levels provided do not reach the thresholds observed in historical Category 4 events and above. Additionally, NOAA's Flood Likelihood Analysis indicates only a 4.6% likelihood of flooding for this date. It is necessary, however, to continue monitoring local weather advisories as conditions can change rapidly.
CATEGORY 1
WHAT... The second day also shows barometric pressure readings significantly higher than the Category 4 event thresholds. While NOAA's analysis indicates a lower chance of flooding at 1.7%, it is important to consider that weather conditions can vary throughout the day.
WHEN... The risk remains low for this date. However, precautions should be in place, especially if unexpected weather changes occur that are not reflected in current data.
As with Day 1, tide levels are not as high as those that have historically led to flooding concerns in Redondo Beach. Consistent monitoring of any updates from NOAA's advisories is recommended for any changes in the forecasted conditions.
CATEGORY 1
WHAT... On this third day, the barometric pressure slightly decreases compared to the previous days but still remains much higher than the historical Category 4 event thresholds. With NOAA indicating a mere 0.9% flood likelihood, and no weather indicators that suggest extreme conditions leading to flooding, the risk is classified as low.
WHEN... Based on current data analysis for Day 3, there appears to be a minimal chance of flooding. Nevertheless, vigilance is advised due to potential unpredictabilities in weather patterns.
There are no significant deviations from expected patterns that would suggest an increased risk of flooding at this time. The tide data presented does not approach critical levels associated with past flood events of higher categories.
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. Consulting local authorities or experts is strongly recommended for making decisions related to flood safety and response actions.
