Redondo Beach, WA
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No risk of flooding is expected. While the tides will reach approximately 20.2 feet in the evening, the barometric pressure remains well above the critical low-pressure threshold (near 992.8 hPa). Additionally, NOAA’s Flood Likelihood is extremely low (0.1%), indicating that significant coastal flooding is not anticipated.
WHEN
The highest tide is expected around 7:00 PM local time.
IMPACTS
• No notable flooding of low-lying coastal areas is expected.
• Normal daily activities should not be affected by high water levels.
Comparing these conditions with historical data shows that although the tide height is similar to some moderate flood events on record, the barometric pressure is relatively high and NOAA’s projected flood likelihood is minimal. Both factors suggest no real risk of flooding.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No risk of flooding anticipated. Projected tides may reach around 20.1–20.2 feet, but barometric pressure remains well above the low-pressure danger zone, and NOAA’s analysis indicates a 0.0% chance of flooding.
WHEN
The highest tide is projected to occur in the evening (around 7:30–8:00 PM), though conditions remain stable.
IMPACTS
• No expected inundation of coastal roads or properties.
• Minor changes in shoreline water levels with no adverse effects.
Today’s conditions are not indicative of the type of low-pressure environment typically associated with more serious coastal flooding. Historical Category 4 or 5 events showed substantially lower pressure and higher wind speeds. Overall, the data does not suggest any material flood threat.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No risk of flooding is expected. Despite a peak tide of near 20.0 feet around the evening hours, barometric pressure is forecast around 1001 hPa—still well above critical flood-trigger values—and NOAA’s official likelihood of flooding remains 0.0%.
WHEN
The highest tide is anticipated around 8:00 PM.
IMPACTS
• No significant coastal impacts expected.
• Recreational and marine activities should not face flood-related disruptions.
Even though this day’s barometric pressure is slightly lower than the previous two days, it is not low enough to raise concern. Further, NOAA’s continuing low flood likelihood, in conjunction with relatively modest wind influences, indicates benign conditions.
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.
• Categories 1-2: No risk of flooding.
• Category 3: Close to a flood event and worth monitoring.
• Category 4: Flooding is likely however, it is uncertain if this will cause major property damage.
• Category 5: Likely to flood and cause property damage.
• Categories 6-7: Extremely high risk of flooding and property damage.
