Flood Watch
Redondo Beach, WA
DayInfo1: Day 1: 2024-11-19
CATEGORY 1
WHAT No risk of flooding expected.
WHEN No significant flooding risk throughout the day.
IMPACTS No flooding impacts anticipated.
ADDITIONAL DETAILS...
- Barometric Pressure: The barometric pressure during the high tide at 08:18 AM is approximately 1020.96 hPa, which is significantly higher than pressures observed during historical flood events (e.g., Category 5 event at 978.4 hPa).
- Tide Height: The maximum tide height is around 20.365 ft, below the 21 ft threshold associated with past flooding events.
- Wind Conditions: Wind speeds are low, ranging from 4 to 7 mph, with wind directions from the southeast to east. This is considerably calmer than winds during previous flood events, which had speeds exceeding 16 mph from directions that exacerbate flooding.
- NOAA Flood Likelihood: NOAA's flood likelihood is low at 2.6%, with a distance to threshold of -0.82m, indicating water levels are well below flood levels.
- Historical Comparison: Compared to historical events categorized as Category 3 or higher, current conditions do not indicate any flood risk.
DayInfo2: Day 2: 2024-11-20
CATEGORY 1
WHAT No risk of flooding expected.
WHEN No significant flooding risk throughout the day.
IMPACTS No flooding impacts anticipated.
ADDITIONAL DETAILS...
- Barometric Pressure: The pressure during the high tide at 09:12 AM is approximately 1017.10 hPa, remaining higher than pressures linked to historical flooding.
- Tide Height: Maximum tide height reaches about 20.072 ft, still below the critical 21 ft level observed in past flood events.
- Wind Conditions: Moderate wind speeds of 9 to 14 mph from the east-southeast to south-southeast. These conditions are less severe than those in historical flooding incidents.
- NOAA Flood Likelihood: Flood likelihood is very low at 0.6%, with a substantial distance to the flood threshold (-1.1m), suggesting minimal risk.
- Historical Comparison: Conditions are not comparable to any historical flood events, indicating no expected flooding.
DayInfo3: Day 3: 2024-11-21
CATEGORY 1
WHAT No risk of flooding expected.
WHEN No significant flooding risk throughout the day.
IMPACTS No flooding impacts anticipated.
ADDITIONAL DETAILS...
- Barometric Pressure: During the high tide at 10:06 AM, the barometric pressure is approximately 1022.72 hPa, indicating very stable and high-pressure conditions, unlike the low pressures associated with past floods.
- Tide Height: The tide height peaks at around 19.764 ft, well below levels that have previously resulted in flooding.
- Wind Conditions: Wind speeds are minimal, between 1 and 4 mph, predominantly from the east-northeast to north-northeast, posing no flooding risk.
- NOAA Flood Likelihood: An extremely low flood likelihood of 0.1%, with a distance to threshold of -1.4m, confirms the absence of flood risk.
- Historical Comparison: No similarities with historical flood events are observed, ensuring no flood concerns.
