Redondo Beach, WA
CATEGORY 2
WHAT Minor coastal flooding expected. Possible inundation of up to 0.28 feet above ground level near shorelines and low-lying areas.
*WHEN From 7:42 AM to 8:42 AM PST.
IMPACTS Minor flooding of low-lying areas, parks, and roads. Isolated road closures possible.
The barometric pressure during the high tide is significantly higher than the threshold that has historically led to severe flooding, suggesting that the risk of a major flood event is low. The NOAA Flood Likelihood Analysis indicates a high likelihood of flooding, but the distance to the threshold and the high barometric pressure suggest that any flooding will not be severe.
CATEGORY 3
WHAT Elevated risk of coastal flooding. Potential for water levels to reach up to 0.2 feet below flood thresholds.
WHEN From 8:18 AM to 9:18 AM PST and from 7:24 PM to 8:24 PM PST.
IMPACTS Increased risk of flooding in low-lying areas and minor property damage. Precautionary measures recommended for waterfront properties.
The barometric pressure remains high, indicating stable weather conditions that are not conducive to severe flooding. However, NOAA's Flood Likelihood Analysis suggests a slightly higher likelihood of flooding compared to the previous day. The tide levels are expected to be high, but still below the threshold for significant flooding.
CATEGORY 4
WHAT Likely coastal flooding with potential for property damage. Water levels may approach or slightly exceed flood thresholds.
WHEN From 8:48 AM to 9:48 AM PST and from 8:42 PM to 9:42 PM PST.
IMPACTS Likely flooding of roads, parks, and properties especially in low-lying areas. Some road closures and property damage are possible.
The barometric pressure has dropped significantly compared to the previous days, reaching levels that are closer to those observed during historical flood events. This drop in pressure, combined with NOAA's continued high likelihood of flooding and water levels nearing the flood threshold, suggests an increased risk of flooding with potential property damage.
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.
