HEADING: Flood Watch

Redondo Beach, WA

DayInfo1: Day 1: 2024-12-11

CATEGORY 1

WHAT No risk of flooding. Normal tidal and weather conditions expected.

WHEN No flood risk identified for this day.

IMPACTS No impacts anticipated. Coastal areas will experience typical conditions.

ADDITIONAL DETAILS...

Barometric Pressure: The barometric pressure during the high tides on 2024-12-11 is high, with readings of 1028.36 hPa at 01:36 and 1029.23 hPa at 21:54. This is significantly higher than pressures observed during historical flood events, which were below 1006 hPa.

Tide Heights: The maximum tide height predicted for this day is approximately 20.151 feet at 12:00. This is below the 21-foot threshold associated with historical flooding events.

Wind Conditions: Wind speeds are low, and wind directions do not align with those that have exacerbated flooding in the past.

NOAA Flood Likelihood: NOAA's flood likelihood for this day is low at 3.4%, with a distance to threshold of -0.86 meters, indicating no significant risk.

Comparison to Historical Data: Conditions differ greatly from historical flood events categorized as Category 3 or higher, which featured low barometric pressures and higher tide levels.

DayInfo2: Day 2: 2024-12-12

CATEGORY 1

WHAT No risk of flooding. Normal tidal and weather conditions expected.

WHEN No flood risk identified for this day.

IMPACTS No impacts anticipated. Coastal areas will experience typical conditions.

ADDITIONAL DETAILS...

Barometric Pressure: High barometric pressures of 1028.52 hPa at 13:18 and 1027.77 hPa at 03:00 are noted during high tides. These readings are well above the low-pressure conditions associated with increased flood risk.

Tide Heights: The maximum tide height is predicted to be around 20.333 feet at 13:06. This remains below the critical 21-foot threshold.

Wind Conditions: Wind speeds are moderate, with no significant wind events expected. Wind directions do not contribute to increased flooding risk.

NOAA Flood Likelihood: The flood likelihood is low at 3.7%, with a distance to threshold of -0.85 meters.

Comparison to Historical Data: There is no indication of conditions similar to historical Category 3 or higher events. Both tide heights and barometric pressures suggest minimal risk.

DayInfo3: Day 3: 2024-12-13

CATEGORY 1

WHAT No risk of flooding. Normal tidal and weather conditions expected.

WHEN No flood risk identified for this day.

IMPACTS No impacts anticipated. Coastal areas will experience typical conditions.

ADDITIONAL DETAILS...

Barometric Pressure: Barometric pressure remains high at 1027.47 hPa during the high tide at 14:00 and 1028.78 hPa at 04:06, indicating stable atmospheric conditions.

Tide Heights: The peak tide height is expected to be approximately 20.234 feet at 14:00, staying below the 21-foot concern level.

Wind Conditions: Wind speeds are low to moderate without unfavorable wind directions that could impact tidal conditions.

NOAA Flood Likelihood: NOAA predicts a low flood likelihood of 2.6%, with a distance to threshold of -0.93 meters.

Comparison to Historical Data: Conditions do not align with any historical flooding events. High barometric pressure and tide heights below critical levels indicate no flood risk.

PA: PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

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.
