Category 2 · NO FLOODING EXPECTED

Flood Watch

Redondo Beach, WA

Day 1: 2026-07-26

Category 2

WHAT
A Category 2 event indicates no risk of flooding. Moderately elevated tide is the main factor, with near-normal pressure and minimal wind not adding much risk.

WHEN
Peak water levels will occur in the early evening around 5:54 PM.

IMPACTS
• No impacts anticipated.

REASONING
Tidal height is the primary driver, but it remains below levels that would cause flooding. Pressure is near normal, and winds are light. All models agree on a stable Category 2 outcome.

Day 2: 2026-07-27

Category 2

WHAT
Another Category 2 day with no flooding risk expected. The moderate tidal influence remains the primary reason for monitoring, while a slightly below-normal pressure has only modest effect.

WHEN
Peak risk in the early evening around 6:18 PM.

IMPACTS
• No impacts anticipated.

REASONING
Tide is again the principal contributor. Pressure is a bit lower but still not low enough to significantly raise flood concerns, and winds stay minimal. All ensemble models show consistent agreement at Category 2.

Day 3: 2026-07-28

Category 2

WHAT
No flood risk is expected for this Category 2 event. The tide is slightly elevated, and slightly below-normal pressure offers only minor support for any water level increase.

WHEN
Highest water is expected in the early evening around 6:48 PM.

IMPACTS
• No impacts anticipated.

REASONING
Tidal factors continue to dominate, but remain well below flood thresholds. Wind is not a strong contributor. Pressure remains near normal. Model agreement indicates conditions hold at Category 2.
