Redondo Beach, WA
CATEGORY 4
WHAT Moderate coastal flooding expected. Possible inundation of up to 20.672 feet above ground level near shorelines and low-lying areas.
*WHEN From 6:00 AM to 7:00 AM PST, coinciding with the high tide.
IMPACTS Moderate flooding of low-lying areas, parks, and roads. Isolated road closures possible, with potential for property damage in vulnerable areas.
The barometric pressure during the high tide at 6:30 AM is significantly higher than the threshold that has historically led to severe flooding events. However, the tide height is approaching levels seen in Category 4 events. The NOAA flood likelihood for this day is lower than the historical Category 3 event, suggesting a lower severity. Wind data is not provided but assuming a non-extreme condition based on the weather data.
CATEGORY 3
WHAT Elevated risk of minor coastal flooding. Potential water levels reaching up to 20.832 feet above ground level in certain areas.
WHEN From around 7:00 AM to 8:00 AM PST, during the morning's high tide.
IMPACTS Minor flooding of parks, walkways, and immediate coastline areas. Low-lying roads may experience temporary water accumulation.
Barometric pressure is higher than historical Category 4 events but lower than on Day 1, reducing the risk slightly. Tide heights are still significant but below the threshold for major flooding events. NOAA's flood likelihood has increased compared to Day 1, indicating a slightly higher risk for flooding. Wind conditions are unknown; however, based on available data, a Category 3 event is predicted.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT Low risk of coastal flooding with expected tidal heights not significantly exceeding typical high tides.
WHEN High tide peaks around 7:42 AM PST may present the highest risk for any water level rise.
IMPACTS Minimal impact expected with no significant flooding anticipated in coastal or low-lying areas.
The barometric pressure remains high and stable compared to previous days, indicating less severe weather conditions and a lower likelihood of flooding. The tide height is also decreasing and does not pose a significant threat when compared to historical data. NOAA's flood likelihood data has not been provided for this day but considering the pressure and tide levels, a low-risk Category 2 event is forecasted.
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. Consult local authorities or experts for final decision-making in flood-related situations.
