Redondo Beach, WA
CATEGORY 2
WHAT... The current barometric pressure is significantly higher than the thresholds observed during historical flooding events in Redondo Beach, indicating less severe weather conditions. The high tide at 08:30 with a pressure of 1033.0128173828125 hPa does not approach the threshold associated with flood events. Similarly, the high tide at 19:00 with a pressure of 1022.9869995117188 hPa remains well above historic flood-associated pressures.
WHEN... Given the higher barometric pressures expected and low likelihood of flooding as indicated by NOAA's recent data, the flood risk for December 31st is categorized as low.
Considering the current weather data depicting overcast conditions and barometric pressure readings, combined with NOAA's low likelihood of flooding (1.0%) and the absence of significant rainfall, there is no immediate indication of a high flood risk. The tide levels, although elevated, are within a range that historically has not resulted in major flooding when coupled with current atmospheric conditions.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT... The tide data for January 1st shows a continued pattern of high tides without corresponding low barometric pressures that would indicate an increased flood risk. With a high tide at 20:00 occurring under a mean pressure MSL of 1024.4031982421875 hPa and another earlier at 00:00 with a pressure of 1019.8580322265625 hPa, these values do not suggest a concerning scenario when compared to past flood events.
WHEN... The NOAA flood likelihood remains low (0.3%), with pressures staying above the critical thresholds associated with historic flooding events. Thus, the flood risk for January 1st maintains a low category assessment.
The weather forecast predicts partly cloudy to clear conditions, which aligns with the absence of significant precipitation risks that could lead to flooding. The wind conditions are also not indicated as a contributing factor to potential coastal flooding for this day.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT... On January 2nd, there continues to be no significant correlation between high tide levels and critically low barometric pressures that would suggest an impending flood event. High tides at both 09:30 and 21:06 occur under a mean pressure MSL of 1021.948486328125 hPa, which is above historical flooding event pressure levels.
WHEN... NOAA's forecast indicates an extremely low flood likelihood (0.1%) for this day, further substantiating the assessment that there is minimal risk for flooding.
Weather conditions are forecasted to be overcast; however, without accompanying low barometric pressures and considering the NOAA assessment, the risk for coastal flooding remains minimal. Historical comparisons also suggest wind direction from W/NW contributes to flood risk - current conditions do not replicate those factors that have led to previous flood events.
While forecasts indicate a low probability of flooding over the next three days, residents should monitor forecasts from local meteorological services and remain informed about any changes in weather patterns. Those living in areas historically prone to flooding should maintain readiness as conditions can change. Always consult with local authorities and heed any advisories or warnings they may issue regarding potential flood risks.
