Redondo Beach, WA
CATEGORY 1
WHAT... Analysis of Day 1's weather and tidal data indicates low risk for flooding when compared to historical events. The high tide level does not approach the threshold levels seen during previous Category 4 or higher events. Furthermore, the reported barometric pressure is significantly higher than the thresholds associated with past flood events.
WHEN... Given the current weather data showing overcast conditions with no significant rainfall and the tide data not indicating unusually high tides, the flood risk for this day remains low.
The expected high tide levels for the day are much lower than those that have historically led to flooding events in Redondo Beach, WA. The barometric pressure readings are well above the threshold that would typically raise concerns of potential flooding, which in this region is around or below 992.8 hPa.
CATEGORY 1
WHAT... The comparative analysis for Day 2 suggests a continued low risk of flooding. The weather forecast indicates clear conditions, which lowers the likelihood of heavy rainfall contributing to flood risks. The high tide for this day is forecasted to be lower than on Day 1, further reducing any concerns.
WHEN... Despite being in a period of typically higher tides, the combination of favorable weather conditions and moderate tide levels result in a low flood risk assessment for Day 2 as well.
Similar to Day 1, the barometric pressure remains high during the expected high tides, reducing the overall risk of flooding. Without significant lowering of pressure or an increase in tide height, flooding is not anticipated based on historical data patterns and thresholds.
CATEGORY 1
WHAT... On Day 3, conditions continue to suggest a low possibility of flooding. While there is a slight decrease in barometric pressure compared to previous days, it remains well above critical thresholds. The high tides are incrementally lower, which correlates with a reduced flood risk.
WHEN... Though we see a minor decrease in barometric pressure that might normally warrant increased attention, it is not sufficient to raise concerns when combined with the predicted tide levels and absence of heavy precipitation.
When analyzing the relationship between historical flood events and current forecasts, there is no indication that tide levels or barometric pressure will near concerning parameters. Therefore, Day 3 also maintains a low flood risk category.
Residents and businesses in Redondo Beach should continue to monitor forecasts and be alert for possible Flood Warnings. Those living in areas prone to flooding should remain prepared to take action should any unexpected changes in weather conditions develop. It's important to stay informed through local news, weather stations, and NOAA updates as part of ongoing preparedness measures.
