Redondo Beach, WA
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No coastal flooding is expected. Tides will reach around 19.6 ft in the evening. Barometric pressure near the time of the highest tide (around 997.5 hPa) remains above the critical low-pressure threshold of 992.8 hPa.
WHEN
Mainly near the high tide around 19:54 (7:54 PM local time).
IMPACTS
No flooding impacts are anticipated in low-lying areas. Roads and shorelines should remain clear of tidal overflow.
• The tide height is elevated but not enough, on its own, to pose a flooding threat.
• NOAA’s flood likelihood for today is reported at 0.0%, indicating little to no expectation of flooding.
• Compared to historical flood events with significantly lower pressure and/or higher tides, today’s conditions are not expected to produce coastal flooding.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No flooding is expected. Evening high tide near 19.4–19.5 ft will coincide with a barometric pressure of about 993.9 hPa, which is slightly above the critical threshold.
WHEN
Mainly around the high tide near 20:18 (8:18 PM local time).
IMPACTS
No significant flooding impacts are expected. Minor ponding of water near the immediate shoreline is possible, but no property damage or road closures are anticipated.
• While barometric pressure is lower than on Day 1, it is still not low enough to pose a flood threat.
• NOAA’s official likelihood remains at 0.0%, suggesting little to no concern for coastal flooding.
• Historically, Category 3 or above events have involved lower pressure combined with higher tide levels or stronger onshore winds, neither of which are present here.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No flooding is expected. Forecast high tides (around 19.0 ft in the evening) remain below levels typically associated with coastal flooding. Barometric pressure is expected to hover near 994.8 hPa, still above the critical low-pressure threshold.
WHEN
Highest risk period would be near the evening high tide around 20:48 (8:48 PM local time).
IMPACTS
No anticipated flooding impacts to roads, shorelines, or low-lying areas.
• NOAA’s flood likelihood for this date is 0.0%.
• Though barometric pressure is moderately low, it remains above the historical worry level of 992.8 hPa used in past severe events.
• Wind speeds and direction do not indicate an onshore push significant enough to raise concern.
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.
