Redondo Beach, WA
CATEGORY 2
WHAT... The weather data indicates partly cloudy conditions with light drizzle and a barometric pressure of 1010 hPa, which is higher than the threshold associated with historical flood events. The high tide level is not provided, but the NOAA flood likelihood for this date is low, with a 0.0% chance and a distance to threshold of -2.21m, suggesting the tide is significantly lower than the flood threshold.
WHEN... Given the current barometric pressure and NOAA's low flood likelihood assessment, there is a low risk of flooding on this day.
The wind direction from the north at a low speed of 4 km/h is not conducive to driving water onshore to increase flood risk. The absence of significant precipitation and the relatively high pressure further reduce the likelihood of flooding.
CATEGORY 3
WHAT... The barometric pressure is expected to drop slightly to around 1013 hPa, with mist and patchy rain possible throughout the day. The high tide at 03:24 has a mean pressure MSL of 1029.72900390625 hPa, which is well above the threshold for major flooding concerns.
WHEN... The risk of flooding remains low but warrants monitoring due to the slightly lower barometric pressure and continued rainfall, even though NOAA's flood likelihood remains low with a 0.0% chance.
The wind conditions are not provided, but based on the available weather data and historical comparisons, there is no immediate cause for alarm. However, vigilance is advised due to the lower barometric pressure compared to Day 1.
CATEGORY 4
WHAT... The barometric pressure drops further to around 1018 hPa, and there are forecasts of light drizzle throughout the day. The high tide at 13:00 has a mean pressure MSL of 1018.2644653320312 hPa, which is closer to the threshold observed during past flooding events.
WHEN... There is an increased risk of flooding on this day due to the lower barometric pressure and persistent rain. The NOAA flood likelihood remains low with a distance to threshold of -2.31m, suggesting that while flooding is not imminent, conditions are more favorable for it compared to previous days.
Without specific wind data, it's challenging to fully assess the impact; however, given that the barometric pressure is trending downwards and nearing levels associated with previous flood events, caution is advised. This situation should be closely monitored as it could escalate depending on actual tide levels and wind conditions at the time.
Residents 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. Consult local authorities or experts for final decision-making in flood-related situations.
