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 6:00 AM to 9:00 AM PST.
IMPACTS Minor flooding of low-lying areas, parks, and roads. Isolated road closures possible.
The barometric pressure is significantly higher than the threshold associated with past flooding events, suggesting less severe weather conditions. The high tide at 07:12 with a mean pressure MSL of 1030.02001953125 hPa is well above the threshold that has historically led to flooding, reducing the likelihood of a severe flood event. The NOAA Flood Likelihood Analysis indicates a low likelihood of flooding at 0.4%, with a distance to the flood threshold of -1.25m, which supports the forecast of a lower category event.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT Continued minor coastal flooding potential with limited impact.
WHEN From 6:00 AM to 9:30 AM PST.
IMPACTS Similar to Day 1, expect minor nuisance flooding in susceptible areas.
The barometric pressure remains high at 1036.9200439453125 hPa during the morning high tide, indicating stable weather conditions and a low risk of significant flooding. The NOAA Flood Likelihood Analysis for this day also shows a low likelihood of flooding at 0.3%, reinforcing the expectation of minimal flood impact.
CATEGORY 3
WHAT Slight increase in coastal flooding potential due to higher tides.
WHEN From 7:00 AM to 10:00 AM PST.
IMPACTS Potential for moderate inundation in low-lying coastal areas and roads, with possible disruptions to daily routines.
On Day 3, the barometric pressure slightly decreases to 1032.1800537109375 hPa, which is still relatively high but closer to levels that may contribute to coastal flooding when combined with high tides. The NOAA Flood Likelihood Analysis remains low at 0.4%, but given the proximity to historical events and the slightly lower pressure, there is a marginally increased risk compared to the previous days.
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 and adhere to any advisories or evacuation orders that may be issued.
