Flood Watch

Redondo Beach, WA

Day 1: 2023-12-29

CATEGORY 1

WHAT... The analysis of Day 1's weather and tidal data in comparison to historical events and Boeing Field's December 2022 data shows a significantly lower risk of flooding. The barometric pressures recorded during high tides are substantially higher than the thresholds associated with previous flood events. This, combined with low NOAA flood likelihood percentages, indicates a minimal risk of flooding.

WHEN... The assessed flood risk is low for the duration of the day, given the high barometric pressure and low probability of flooding according to NOAA.

ADDITIONAL DETAILS...

The pressure data for both high tides of the day are well above the historical flooding event pressure thresholds, suggesting stable atmospheric conditions not conducive to severe weather patterns that can lead to flooding. Wind direction data is not provided, but given the low NOAA flood likelihood and significantly higher barometric pressures, wind direction is less likely to have an influential impact on flooding risks for this day.

Day 2: 2023-12-30

CATEGORY 1

WHAT... Comparative analysis for Day 2 using the same parameters as Day 1 also indicates a minimal risk of flooding. Barometric pressure remains high across both high tide events, further reducing the likelihood of significant weather changes that could influence flood conditions.

WHEN... Throughout Day 2, flood risk remains minimal based on current forecasts and historical patterns.

ADDITIONAL DETAILS...

High barometric pressure readings during both high tide events suggest that atmospheric conditions are likely to remain stable. The tide levels are also not reaching thresholds that have historically correlated with flooding events in this area. Without significant deviations from these patterns, the risk of flooding is considered low.

Day 3: 2023-12-31

CATEGORY 1

WHAT... Focused analysis on Day 3's conditions in the context of historical data and December 2022 observations suggests continued low risk for flooding. Barometric pressure trends continue to remain elevated during high tide times, and no significant weather changes are projected that could contribute to flood risks.

WHEN... The projection of flood risk for Day 3 remains minimal, based on comprehensive data analysis.

ADDITIONAL DETAILS...

The forecast shows a repetition of stable weather conditions with no significant changes in barometric pressure or NOAA flood likelihood data that would suggest an increase in flood risks. It is important to note that all barometric readings are above those associated with past flood events by a considerable margin.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

Residents should continue to monitor forecasts from local meteorological services and be alert for possible Flood Warnings. While the current analysis suggests a minimal risk of flooding, it is essential for those living in areas historically prone to flooding to stay informed and be prepared to take action should any weather conditions change unexpectedly. Always consult with local authorities or experts for final decision-making regarding any potential flood-related situations.
