Redondo Beach, WA
CATEGORY 3
WHAT Minor coastal flooding expected. Possible inundation of up to 0.28 feet above ground level near shorelines and low-lying areas.
WHEN From 07:42 AM to 08:42 AM PST and from 06:18 PM to 07:18 PM PST.
IMPACTS Minor flooding of low-lying areas, parks, and roads. Isolated road closures possible.
The barometric pressure is significantly higher than the threshold associated with previous flood events, indicating less severe weather conditions. The tide height is substantial but not reaching the critical levels observed in more severe historical events. The NOAA high tide flooding likelihood is high, but the distance to the threshold is relatively small. Wind direction data is not provided; however, the current conditions do not suggest an immediate risk of severe flooding.
CATEGORY 3
WHAT Coastal flooding potential persists with minor inundation possible near shorelines and low-lying areas.
WHEN From 08:18 AM to 09:18 AM PST and from 07:24 PM to 08:24 PM PST.
IMPACTS Continuation of minor flooding in susceptible regions. Precautionary measures advised for vulnerable infrastructure.
Barometric pressure remains high, reducing the likelihood of a severe weather-induced flood event. Tide levels are slightly lower than on Day 1, which may decrease the overall flood risk. NOAA's flood likelihood remains high, but the pressure is well above critical levels seen in past significant floods. Without significant wind data, the forecast remains cautious but not indicative of major flooding.
CATEGORY 4
WHAT Increased risk of coastal flooding with potential for property damage in low-lying areas.
WHEN From 08:48 AM to 09:48 AM PST and from 08:42 PM to 09:42 PM PST.
IMPACTS Potential for moderate flooding affecting properties, roads, and infrastructure. Risk of damage to unsecured property and temporary disruption to transportation.
Barometric pressure has dropped significantly compared to the previous days, aligning more closely with historical events that resulted in notable flooding. The tide height is still elevated, and with the drop in pressure, there is an increased risk of flooding. The NOAA flood likelihood remains high, and with the pressure now closer to concerning thresholds, there is a heightened concern for flooding impacts similar to past Category 4 events.
Residents and businesses should monitor forecasts and be alert for possible Flood Warnings. Those living in areas prone to flooding should prepare to take action should flooding develop. Follow updates from local authorities and consider taking proactive measures to secure property against rising water levels.
