Redondo Beach, WA
CATEGORY 2
WHAT Minor coastal flooding expected. Possible inundation of low-lying areas near shorelines due to high tide levels, although current barometric pressure suggests a lower risk of severe flooding.
*WHEN From 11:00 AM to 2:30 PM PST, coinciding with the high tide.
IMPACTS Possible minor flooding of low-lying areas, parks, and roads near the shoreline. Isolated road closures may occur, and waterfront properties may experience minor inundation.
The barometric pressure readings for the high tides on this date are significantly higher than the threshold that has historically indicated severe flooding risk (1044.969970703125 hPa and 1044.780029296875 hPa). The NOAA Flood Likelihood Analysis also indicates a low likelihood of flooding (0.0%), with a distance to threshold of -1.69m, suggesting that the tide levels are not expected to reach critical heights that would lead to significant flooding.
CATEGORY 1
WHAT No significant coastal flooding expected. The combination of high barometric pressure and low NOAA flood likelihood suggests minimal flood risk.
WHEN Throughout the day, despite the occurrence of high tides.
IMPACTS No significant impacts expected. Normal tidal fluctuations may be observed without substantial effects on property or infrastructure.
The mean pressure MSL during high tides is well above the threshold associated with flooding events (1043.8599853515625 hPa and 1045.6099853515625 hPa). The NOAA Flood Likelihood Analysis supports this assessment by indicating a low likelihood of flooding (0.0%) with a substantial distance to threshold (-2.19m).
CATEGORY 3
WHAT Elevated risk of coastal flooding due to increasing tide heights and decreasing barometric pressure. Close monitoring is advised as conditions could lead to minor property impacts.
WHEN High-risk periods near high tides, especially around 4:18 AM and 1:24 PM PST.
IMPACTS Potential for minor flooding in low-lying coastal areas and roads. Waterfront properties should be vigilant for possible water intrusion.
The barometric pressure readings are lower on this day (1042.9300537109375 hPa and 1040.699951171875 hPa) compared to the previous days, but still above the historical thresholds for severe flooding events. The NOAA Flood Likelihood Analysis remains at a low likelihood (0.0%), but given the downward trend in pressure and considering wind direction from historical events, there is a slightly increased risk compared to the previous days.
Residents and businesses near the shore should monitor forecasts and be alert for possible Flood Warnings. Those living in areas prone to flooding should be prepared to take action should conditions change unexpectedly. It's important to stay informed through local weather channels and authorities as this analysis is based solely on current data provided and does not account for unforeseen changes in weather conditions or local hydrodynamic factors. Always consult with local authorities or experts for final decision-making in flood-related situations.
