Redondo Beach, WA
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
A Category 2 event means conditions look routine overall. Today’s peak water levels are driven primarily by moderate high tide, with pressure and wind providing minimal influence.
WHEN
Peak tide influence is expected around mid-evening, near 7:00–8:00 PM.
IMPACTS
- No impact anticipated.
REASONING
Astronomical tide is the main factor, contributing enough to reach Category 2. Pressure is near normal and onshore wind remains minimal. All models agree on Category 2, with no higher tail scenario.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
Today remains a Category 2 event, largely due to slightly higher tide levels. Pressure is near to slightly below normal, but not low enough to drive additional flooding risk.
WHEN
Primary risk could coincide with the high tide in the early evening, around 7:00–8:00 PM.
IMPACTS
- No impact anticipated.
REASONING
The moderate tide height is the principal driver for today’s Category 2. Pressure is somewhat lower than the previous day, but still not a major concern. One of the closest analogs (2023-01-06) reached Category 3, but conditions this time are more modest.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
Conditions remain at Category 2. Tides continue at moderate levels, and neither pressure nor wind are significantly amplifying the risk.
WHEN
Peak concern aligns with the high tide around the early evening period, near 7:00–8:00 PM.
IMPACTS
- No impact anticipated.
REASONING
Moderate tidal levels drive the classification. Pressure is near normal, and wind contributions are minimal. Ensemble forecasts agree on Category 2, with no indication of a higher tail outcome.
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.
