Redondo Beach, WA
CATEGORY 2
WHAT... Potential for minor coastal flooding due to high tide but mitigated by high barometric pressure.
WHEN... The highest risk of minor flooding is likely around the high tide time of 05:24 AM and again at 15:00 PM.
The barometric pressure readings during the high tides are significantly higher than the threshold associated with the historical flood event on 12/17/2022. With pressure readings over 1030 hPa, the risk of significant flooding is reduced despite the high tide levels. Weather conditions seem stable with low precipitation and wind speeds, further reducing the likelihood of flooding. However, residents in low-lying coastal areas should remain aware of water levels during high tides.
CATEGORY 1
WHAT... Very low risk of coastal flooding due to continuing high barometric pressure and absence of significant precipitation.
WHEN... The times around the high tides at 06:06 AM and 15:36 PM would usually present a higher risk, yet the factors for flooding remain minimal.
Barometric pressure remains well above critical levels, with readings around the mid-1030s hPa during predicted high tides. There appears to be no significant weather disturbance that could contribute to elevated flood risks. The likelihood percent for flooding this day remains very low according to NOAA data.
CATEGORY 4
WHAT... Increased risk of coastal flooding due to moderately high tide levels combined with weather conditions that may enhance flood potential.
WHEN... The potential impact of flooding is most likely around the morning high tide at 06:48 AM and could continue during the late afternoon tide at 16:18 PM.
Despite relatively high barometric pressures, the NOAA prediction indicates a 'High' likelihood percent for flooding on this day compared to previous days. The proximity of tide levels reaching close to those seen during the flood event on 12/17/2022 warrants vigilance. Additionally, winds from the W/NW could contribute to elevated water levels along the coast, potentially leading to localized flooding. Residents should closely monitor water levels and updates from local authorities.
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. Always follow advice from local authorities and do not rely solely on this report as it does not account for real-time changes or additional factors that may affect flood risk.
