Redondo Beach, WA
CATEGORY 2
WHAT... The current barometric pressure is significantly higher than the threshold associated with historical flooding events, suggesting a low likelihood of severe weather conditions and flooding. The high tide at 09:30 has a mean pressure MSL well above the critical threshold, and the NOAA flood likelihood is marked as low for this date.
WHEN... Given the high barometric pressure and low NOAA flood likelihood, the risk of flooding is minimal on this day.
Despite the occurrence of high tides, the barometric pressure remains stable and significantly higher than historical flood events. The wind direction is not provided, but given the other factors, it is unlikely to contribute significantly to flood risk. The NOAA flood likelihood data supports this assessment with a very low percentage chance of flooding.
CATEGORY 3
WHAT... The barometric pressure drops closer to the historical event thresholds, indicating an increased risk of weather conditions that could lead to flooding. The high tide at 10:00 has a mean pressure MSL that is lower than on Day 1 but still above critical historical thresholds.
WHEN... There is a slightly elevated risk of flooding due to lower barometric pressure. However, with no significant rainfall reported and the NOAA flood likelihood still marked as low, any potential flooding is not expected to be severe.
The decrease in barometric pressure warrants closer monitoring, although it remains above the threshold for major concern. The NOAA flood likelihood remains low, suggesting that while conditions may be more conducive to flooding than on Day 1, the overall risk remains low without additional exacerbating factors.
CATEGORY 4
WHAT... Barometric pressure continues to decrease, reaching levels closer to those observed during historical Category 4 events. The high tide at 10:30 has a mean pressure MSL that is notably lower than previous days and approaching critical levels.
WHEN... The risk of flooding increases on this day due to the continued drop in barometric pressure. While still above the critical threshold of 992.8 hPa, it is close enough to warrant concern for potential flooding, especially if other factors such as wind direction and speed are unfavorable.
With barometric pressure approaching concerning levels and high tide heights increasing, there is a moderate risk of flooding that could potentially lead to property damage if conditions worsen. It's advisable to monitor updates closely and be prepared for possible Flood Warnings.
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. Consult local authorities or experts for final decision-making in flood-related situations.
