Flood Watch

Redondo Beach, WA

Day 1: 2023-12-22

CATEGORY 2

WHAT... The current weather and tidal data suggest a low likelihood of flooding when compared to historical events. The high tide at 12:30 is significantly lower than past flooding events, and the barometric pressure is much higher than the thresholds associated with previous Category 4 and 5 events.

WHEN... Given the high barometric pressure readings well above the flooding thresholds and low tide heights, the risk of flooding on this day is minimal. Historical patterns reinforce this low risk.

ADDITIONAL DETAILS...

The high tide of 20.099m at 12:30 is lower than historical flooding events, and the mean barometric pressure MSL of 1033.922 hPa is significantly above the critical threshold of 992.8 hPa that was observed during past Category 4 events. Combined with the NOAA's low flood likelihood assessment, conditions appear to be non-threatening, although continuous monitoring of real-time data is advised.

Day 2: 2023-12-23

CATEGORY 2

WHAT... A continuation of low flood risk is indicated by weather and tidal data for day two. Barometric pressure remains high, and high tide levels are below those seen in historical flood events.

WHEN... There is a sustained low risk for flooding on this date as both tides and barometric pressures are not indicating any significant deviation from non-flooding conditions.

ADDITIONAL DETAILS...

The high tide at 13:06 with a height of less than historical flood events, coupled with a barometric pressure reading of 1032.515 hPa, further confirms a low likelihood of flooding. No significant weather patterns suggest an increased risk when compared against Boeing Field December data or CO-OPS analysis.

Day 3: 2023-12-24

CATEGORY 2

WHAT... The weather conditions on day three show a slightly increased risk compared to the previous days due to a slight decrease in barometric pressure; however, it remains well above critical thresholds.

WHEN... Despite the decreased barometric pressure, the risk remains categorized as low, with no immediate flood threats predicted from analyzed data.

ADDITIONAL DETAILS...

A high tide level of 19.966m at 13:48 and a corresponding barometric pressure of 1026.961 hPa, while lower than the previous two days, still do not reach concerning levels that align with past Category 4 or higher events. Furthermore, NOAA's Flood Likelihood Analysis indicates a very low percentage chance for flooding.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

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. Always refer to local authorities for the latest updates and evacuation procedures if necessary.
