Redondo Beach, WA
CATEGORY 3
WHAT Minor coastal flooding expected. Possible inundation of low-lying areas near shorelines due to high tide levels.
WHEN From 8:00 AM to 9:00 AM PST and again from 8:00 PM to 9:00 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 that historically indicated severe flooding (1017 hPa vs. the Category 5 event's 978.4 hPa). The high tide at 08:48 is 20.658 ft, which is lower than the Category 4 and 5 historical events but higher than the Category 3 event. The NOAA flood likelihood is high for this day at 25.2%, but the distance to threshold is -0.2m, which is less concerning than the historical Category 3 event.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT Low risk of coastal flooding despite high tides due to favorable weather conditions.
WHEN Highest risk around the time of high tide at 10:12 PM PST.
IMPACTS No significant impacts expected, but localized water pooling in susceptible areas may occur.
The barometric pressure remains high at around 1039 hPa, well above the threshold associated with significant flooding events. The NOAA flood likelihood is high at 12.4%, but the distance to threshold is -0.46m, indicating a lower risk compared to Day 1.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT Low risk of coastal flooding continues with stable weather conditions and moderate high tides.
WHEN Highest risk during high tides at approximately 10:06 AM PST and again at 6:24 PM PST.
IMPACTS Minimal impacts expected, with some potential for water accumulation in typically prone areas.
Barometric pressure remains steady and high at about 1038 hPa, indicating stable weather conditions that do not favor severe flooding. The NOAA flood likelihood drops further to a low of 6.3%, and the distance to threshold increases to -0.67m, reinforcing the low risk of significant flooding.
Residents and visitors 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. Consult local authorities or experts for final decision-making in flood-related situations.
