Redondo Beach, WA
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No significant flooding is expected. Current data shows a morning high tide approaching nearly 19.7 feet, but barometric pressure remains high (above 1024 hPa), reducing the likelihood of coastal flooding.
WHEN
The highest tide for the day is around 08:24 AM PST.
IMPACTS
No immediate impacts anticipated. Low-lying areas and roads near the shoreline should remain unaffected under these conditions.
• NOAA’s Flood Likelihood Analysis indicates a low chance of coastal flooding (<1%).
• Barometric pressure for the day is much higher than thresholds observed in past flooding events, thus significantly lowering flood risk.
• Light winds below 10 mph offer minimal contribution to tidal surges.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No risk of flooding is forecast. Although the tide reaches nearly 19.6 feet in the morning, the barometric pressure (around 1017–1018 hPa) remains relatively high compared to historical flood events.
WHEN
Highest tide peaks near 09:06 AM PST, with another high tide in the early evening around 18:42 PST.
IMPACTS
No coastal flooding is expected. Normal tidal variations may slightly affect shoreline areas, but no inundation or road closures are anticipated.
• NOAA’s Flood Likelihood Analysis again reports a low (<1%) chance of flooding.
• Wind speeds remain light, further minimizing any storm surge effects.
• Historical comparisons suggest that tides below about 20 feet, paired with relatively high atmospheric pressure, generally correspond to no flooding risk.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No flooding risk is expected. Projected morning and evening high tides both remain below critical thresholds, and the barometric pressure (around 1022 hPa) stays notably high.
WHEN
Morning high tide occurs near 09:48 AM PST and another in the evening around 19:48 PST.
IMPACTS
No observed or expected flooding of roadways or low-lying land areas along the immediate coastline.
• NOAA’s Flood Likelihood Analysis remains at or near 0%.
• Despite moderate rainfall possible later in the day, high barometric pressure limits the potential for any significant coastal inundation.
• Compared to past Category 3 or higher flood events, conditions fall well short of established flood triggers.
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.
