Redondo Beach, WA
CATEGORY 2
WHAT A routine day with slightly elevated tide levels but otherwise minimal contributing weather factors. Pressure is near normal and onshore wind remains light, keeping the overall flood potential low.
WHEN Highest tides occur in the early morning around 3:00 AM and again late afternoon near 5:30 PM.
IMPACTS - No impact anticipated.
REASONING Tide height is the main contributor to this Category 2 classification. Slightly below-normal pressure offers a small boost, while the wind factor is negligible. All models agree on Category 2, indicating no likelihood of escalation.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT Similar to the previous day, overall conditions remain calm. Moderate tide levels and near-normal pressure do not combine to produce any significant flood risk.
WHEN Peak tides around early evening near 6:00 PM.
IMPACTS - No impact anticipated.
REASONING A moderate tide is the leading driver for Category 2. Pressure is close to normal, and onshore wind does not meaningfully increase water levels. Ensemble models consistently support Category 2 with no higher tail scenario.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT Another day with moderate tide levels and slightly higher pressure, resulting in continued low flood potential. Onshore winds stay modest, further limiting any concern.
WHEN Elevated tides in the early morning near 4:00 AM and late afternoon around 6:00 PM.
IMPACTS - No impact anticipated.
REASONING Moderate tides again lead the forecast, with a small positive effect from stable to slightly higher pressure. Wind remains a minor factor. The ensemble shows no chance of exceeding Category 2.
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.
