Flood Watch

Redondo Beach, WA

Day 1: 2024-01-25

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 8:00 AM PST.

IMPACTS Minor flooding of low-lying areas, parks, and roads. Isolated road closures possible.

ADDITIONAL DETAILS...

The barometric pressure is significantly higher than the threshold that typically indicates severe weather conditions and potential flooding. The high tide at 06:06 with a mean pressure MSL of 1026.1800537109375 hPa is well above the historical flooding event thresholds, reducing the likelihood of a severe flood event. NOAA's Flood Likelihood Analysis indicates a low likelihood of flooding at 1.6%, which is consistent with the high barometric pressure observed. The wind direction from the SSE does not suggest a significant onshore push that could exacerbate tidal flooding.

Day 2: 2024-01-26

CATEGORY 1

WHAT No significant coastal flooding expected.

WHEN Throughout the day.

IMPACTS No notable impacts anticipated.

ADDITIONAL DETAILS...

The barometric pressure remains high at 1031.550048828125 hPa during the morning high tide and increases to 1034.75 hPa by the afternoon high tide, suggesting stable weather conditions and a very low risk of flooding. NOAA's Flood Likelihood Analysis continues to indicate a low likelihood of flooding at 0.6%, with no significant change in tide height or wind conditions to alter this assessment.

Day 3: 2024-01-27

CATEGORY 2

WHAT Minor coastal flooding possible but unlikely to cause significant impact.

WHEN From 6:00 AM to 9:00 AM PST.

IMPACTS Potential for minor pooling in low-lying coastal areas and parks, but no substantial damage expected.

ADDITIONAL DETAILS...

The barometric pressure on this day is slightly lower than on previous days but still high at 1029.5799560546875 hPa, indicating a reduced risk of severe weather and associated flooding. The NOAA Flood Likelihood Analysis shows a very low likelihood of flooding at 0.5%, with the tide height not reaching thresholds that have historically led to significant flooding events in Redondo Beach, WA.

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 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 possible factors that could affect flood risk.
