Redondo Beach, WA
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No significant risk of flooding is expected. Elevated morning tide near 19.1 ft, but barometric pressure (around 1013.9 hPa) remains relatively high, reducing flood potential.
WHEN
Highest tidal levels occur around the early morning hours (approximately 03:00 AM to 05:00 AM PST).
IMPACTS
No flooding impacts anticipated. Typical marine conditions along coastal areas.
NOAA’s Flood Likelihood for this day is 0.0%. Although tide heights reach near 19.1 ft, this remains below the higher thresholds seen in past flood events. The relatively higher barometric pressure also helps limit coastal flooding potential.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No significant risk of flooding despite a morning tide near 19.4 ft and an afternoon barometric pressure drop to around 1008.8 hPa. Conditions are still not aligned with a notable coastal flood event.
WHEN
Higher tides expected around early morning (approximately 04:00 AM to 05:00 AM PST), with another high tide mid-afternoon (about 03:00 PM to 04:00 PM PST).
IMPACTS
No flooding impacts anticipated. Coastal areas and low-lying roads are expected to remain unaffected.
Despite moderately lower pressure in the afternoon, the predicted tide heights are still below the 20+ ft levels associated with more serious historic floods. NOAA’s Flood Likelihood remains at 0.0% for this date, further supporting a low flood risk assessment.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No significant risk of flooding is expected. Morning tide may approach 19.6 ft, but barometric pressure remains around 1013–1014 hPa, which does not indicate severe weather activity.
WHEN
Peak tidal levels occur early morning (approximately 04:00 AM to 06:00 AM PST), with an additional high tide in late afternoon or early evening.
IMPACTS
No flooding impacts anticipated. Normal coastal activity is expected to continue without interruption.
While the morning tide is somewhat high, the barometric pressure level and NOAA’s continued 0.0% flood likelihood both suggest a stable situation. These conditions do not resemble past flood events rated Category 3 or higher.
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.
