Flood Watch

Redondo Beach, WA

Day 1: 2024-01-30

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 and again from 07:00 PM to 09:00 PM PST.

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

ADDITIONAL DETAILS...

The barometric pressure readings for the high tides on this day are significantly higher than the threshold associated with past flooding events, indicating less severe weather conditions and a lower likelihood of major flooding. The NOAA flood likelihood is also low at 0.4%, with a distance to threshold of -1.27m, which supports the forecast of only minor coastal flooding despite the high tide levels.

Day 2: 2024-01-31

CATEGORY 2

WHAT Minor coastal flooding potential persists with slight inundation near shorelines and low-lying areas.

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

IMPACTS Similar to Day 1, expect minor nuisance flooding in susceptible locations near the waterfront and shoreline.

ADDITIONAL DETAILS...

Continued high barometric pressure readings during high tides suggest stable weather conditions that are not conducive to significant flooding. NOAA's flood likelihood remains low at 0.1%, with a substantial distance to threshold of -1.49m, reinforcing the expectation of minimal flood impact.

Day 3: 2024-02-01

CATEGORY 2

WHAT Ongoing minor coastal flooding risk due to high tides, with limited impact expected.

WHEN Potential for minor flooding around the time of high tide at approximately 09:54 PM PST.

IMPACTS Low-lying areas and locations known for minor tidal overflow may experience brief and minimal flooding.

ADDITIONAL DETAILS...

The barometric pressure is well above the critical threshold, indicating that severe weather is unlikely to contribute to significant flooding risks. The NOAA flood likelihood data is not provided for this date, but given the consistency in pressure readings and lack of significant rainfall or wind events, the flood risk remains categorized as minor.

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 more detailed information on preparedness and response actions specific to your area.
