Redondo Beach, WA
CATEGORY 2
WHAT... Analysis of Day 1's weather indicates clear skies with low humidity and a mean sea level barometric pressure well above the flooding threshold. The high tide at 13:06 with a pressure of 1031.1708984375 hPa is significantly higher than historical flooding event thresholds. There is a low likelihood of flooding based on NOAA's analysis, and the weather data does not suggest conditions that would contribute to high-tide flooding.
WHEN... The flood risk on this day is expected to be low, considering the high barometric pressure and absence of significant precipitation or low-pressure systems.
The clear weather and absence of significant rain reduce the immediate risk, though vigilance during high tide times is recommended due to the unpredictable nature of tide-related flooding. The tide level, while elevated, does not approach the historical flood event thresholds.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT... Comparative analysis for Day 2 shows continued clear weather with slightly decreased barometric pressure at the time of high tide (1027.95166015625 hPa). The pressure remains well above the critical threshold associated with historical flood events.
WHEN... The evaluation of flood risk for Day 2 remains low. However, as pressure begins to decrease, it should be monitored for any additional changes that may affect flood potential.
The trend in barometric pressure should be monitored closely. If a sustained decrease in pressure occurs near high tide times, it could potentially increase the flood risk despite the current low likelihood.
CATEGORY 3
WHAT... Focused analysis on Day 3's condition reveals lower barometric pressures at high tide times (1019.428955078125 hPa and 1017.9676513671875 hPa) which are closer to the threshold for Category 4 flood events in the historical data. This combined with the NOAA's low likelihood assessment indicates an increased potential for higher water levels near coastal areas.
WHEN... Projection of flood risk for Day 3 suggests a moderate increase in potential risk due to lowering barometric pressure, even though actual levels are still not meeting historical Category 4 event thresholds.
The decreasing trend in barometric pressure and its proximity to the lower-end thresholds of past events merit increased attention and preparedness for possible water level rises and minor flooding, especially in low-lying areas.
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. Stay informed by monitoring local weather reports, tide tables, and barometric pressure trends. Consult with local authorities and do not rely solely on this assessment for making decisions related to flood safety.
