Flood Watch

Redondo Beach, WA

Day 1: 2024-01-22

CATEGORY 3

WHAT Minor coastal flooding expected due to high tide and moderate barometric pressure. Possible minor inundation near shorelines and low-lying areas.

*WHEN From 4:00 AM to 5:00 PM PST.

IMPACTS Minor flooding of low-lying areas, parks, and roads near the coast. Isolated road closures possible due to high tide events.

ADDITIONAL DETAILS...

The barometric pressure during the high tides of 1040.1600341796875 hPa and 1040.010009765625 hPa is significantly higher than the threshold of 992.8 hPa that has historically indicated major flooding. The NOAA Flood Likelihood Analysis indicates a low likelihood of flooding for this day, with a 0.0% likelihood percent and a distance to threshold of -1.62m, which supports the Category 3 assessment.

Day 2: 2024-01-23

CATEGORY 2

WHAT Low risk of coastal flooding despite high tide due to relatively high barometric pressure.

WHEN From 5:00 AM to 3:00 PM PST.

IMPACTS Very minor if any, tidal effects on shorelines and low-lying areas. No significant impacts expected.

ADDITIONAL DETAILS...

With a mean pressure MSL of 1030.3800048828125 hPa during the high tide, the risk of flooding remains low as it is much higher than the critical threshold identified in historical events. The NOAA Flood Likelihood Analysis shows a very low likelihood of flooding at 1.0%, which is below the threshold for significant concern.

Day 3: 2024-01-24

CATEGORY 2

WHAT Low risk of coastal flooding due to high barometric pressure, despite high tide levels.

WHEN From 5:36 AM to 3:06 PM PST.

IMPACTS Minimal tidal effects with no expected significant impacts on coastal areas.

ADDITIONAL DETAILS...

The barometric pressure is forecasted to be above the critical threshold, with a mean pressure MSL of 1030.510009765625 hPa and 1030.3599853515625 hPa during the high tides, indicating stable weather conditions and a low likelihood of flooding. The NOAA analysis confirms this with a low likelihood percent of only 1.6%.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

Residents and visitors should monitor later forecasts and be alert for possible Flood Warnings. Those living in areas prone to flooding should remain prepared to take action should flooding develop. It is always best to consult with local authorities or experts for final decision-making in flood-related situations as this assessment is based solely on provided data and does not account for real-time changes or additional factors such as hydrodynamic data or ground saturation levels.
