Redondo Beach, WA
CATEGORY 2
WHAT... The barometric pressure for the high tide at 13:00 is significantly higher than the threshold associated with previous flood events, indicating a lower likelihood of severe weather conditions and flooding. The tide height for this day is not provided, but the NOAA flood likelihood is low, which supports the assessment of a reduced flood risk.
WHEN... Given the current data, the risk of flooding is low for this day, as indicated by the high barometric pressure and NOAA's low flood likelihood percent.
The wind direction data is not provided; however, historical events suggest that winds from the W/NW could increase flood risks. Without this information, we rely on barometric pressure and NOAA's assessment to determine the low risk. It's important to note that this is a preliminary analysis and conditions may change.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT... Similar to Day 1, the barometric pressure readings during high tides are well above the threshold that typically indicates a higher risk of flooding. The NOAA flood likelihood remains low, which aligns with the pressure data to suggest minimal flood risk.
WHEN... The assessment for this day also indicates a low risk of flooding based on available data. The consistent high barometric pressure readings across both high tides support this conclusion.
As with Day 1, the absence of wind direction data limits a comprehensive analysis. However, given that both barometric pressure readings and NOAA's flood likelihood indicate low risk, it is reasonable to maintain a lower category rating.
CATEGORY 3
WHAT... On this day, there is a notable decrease in barometric pressure during both high tides compared to previous days, which brings it closer to historical Category 3 events. This suggests an increased risk of flooding compared to Days 1 and 2.
WHEN... The combination of lower barometric pressure and absent wind data increases uncertainty in the forecast. However, based on available information, there is an elevated risk that warrants closer monitoring for potential flooding.
The pressure readings are still higher than those seen in historical Category 4 or higher events but are approaching Category 3 thresholds. Without wind direction data and considering NOAA's slight increase in flood likelihood percent for this day, we advise caution and recommend monitoring updates closely.
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. Consult local authorities or experts for final decision-making in flood-related situations.
