Redondo Beach, WA
CATEGORY 2
WHAT Minor coastal flooding expected. Possible inundation of up to 0.5 feet above ground level near shorelines and low-lying areas.
*WHEN From 5:00 AM to 6:00 AM PST and from 3:00 PM to 4:00 PM PST.
IMPACTS Minor flooding of low-lying areas, parks, and roads. Isolated road closures possible.
The barometric pressure readings for the high tides on this day are significantly higher than the threshold that has historically indicated severe flooding events. With pressures well above 1000 hPa, the risk of flooding is reduced despite the occurrence of high tides. The NOAA Flood Likelihood Analysis indicates a low likelihood of flooding at 1.6%, which supports the assessment that while water levels may be elevated, significant flooding is not anticipated. The weather data shows light rain with moderate visibility, suggesting that precipitation will not significantly contribute to flood risks on this day.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT Slight risk of coastal flooding near high tide times. Minimal impact expected.
WHEN From 6:00 AM to 7:00 AM PST and potentially around midnight.
IMPACTS Possible pooling of water in susceptible coastal areas and minor overflow onto adjacent sidewalks and streets.
The barometric pressure remains high on this day, although slightly lower than on Day 1, still indicating stable weather conditions that are not conducive to severe flooding. The NOAA Flood Likelihood Analysis continues to show a low likelihood of flooding at 1.6%, with no significant change in the distance to the flood threshold compared to the previous day. The tide levels are not reaching the historical flood event thresholds, and the weather conditions do not suggest an increased risk of precipitation-induced flooding.
CATEGORY 1
WHAT No significant risk of coastal flooding expected.
WHEN Throughout the day, particularly during high tide times in the early morning and late afternoon.
IMPACTS Normal tidal conditions with no significant overflow anticipated.
On Day 3, the barometric pressure increases further, indicating even more stable weather conditions and a decreased risk of flooding. The NOAA Flood Likelihood Analysis shows a very low likelihood of flooding at 0.6%, with a significant distance to the flood threshold. The tide levels are lower than on previous days, and there is no indication from the weather data that heavy rainfall or other contributing factors will increase flood risks.
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, as this analysis is based solely on limited data provided and does not account for all potential factors.
