Flood Watch

Redondo Beach, WA

Day 1: 2024-01-29

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 07:00 AM to 09:00 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 associated with previous flood events, indicating less severe weather conditions and a lower likelihood of an extreme flooding event. The high tide at 07:36 with a mean pressure MSL of 1035.550048828125 hPa is well above the threshold that has historically led to flooding, reducing the risk. NOAA's Flood Likelihood Analysis indicates a very low likelihood of flooding at 0.3%, with the tide level being -1.32m below the flood threshold.

Day 2: 2024-01-30

CATEGORY 2

WHAT Minor coastal flooding potential persists with limited impact expected.

WHEN Highest risk near the time of high tide at 08:00 AM and again around 07:42 PM PST.

IMPACTS Similar minor impacts as Day 1, with low-lying areas experiencing brief inundation.

ADDITIONAL DETAILS...

Continued high barometric pressure readings (1032.8499755859375 hPa in the morning and 1036.4200439453125 hPa in the evening) suggest stable weather conditions, minimizing the risk of significant flooding. NOAA's Flood Likelihood remains low at 0.4%, with the tide level -1.27m below the flood threshold.

Day 3: 2024-01-31

CATEGORY 2

WHAT Ongoing minor coastal flooding potential with no significant change in conditions.

WHEN Highest risk near the time of high tide at 08:24 AM and again around 08:42 PM PST.

IMPACTS Continuation of minor impacts from previous days, including temporary water accumulation in susceptible areas.

ADDITIONAL DETAILS...

Barometric pressure remains high (1034.6800537109375 hPa), indicating a stable atmosphere and low risk of severe weather that could lead to flooding. The NOAA Flood Likelihood Analysis for this day shows an even lower likelihood of flooding at 0.1%, with the tide level -1.49m below the flood threshold, further supporting a low-risk forecast.

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 on limited data and does not account for all possible factors that could affect flood risk.
