Flood Watch

Redondo Beach, WA

Day 1: 2024-01-31

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 past flooding events, indicating less severe weather conditions and a lower likelihood of an extreme flooding event. The high tide at 08:24 with a mean pressure MSL of 1034.6199951171875 hPa is well above the threshold that has historically led to flooding, reducing the risk significantly. NOAA's Flood Likelihood Analysis indicates a low likelihood of flooding for this date, with a distance to threshold of -1.49m, which supports the assessment of a lower category flood potential.

Day 2: 2024-02-01

CATEGORY 2

WHAT Coastal flooding risk remains low with minor impacts expected.

WHEN Highest risk near the time of high tide at 21:54 PST.

IMPACTS Similar to Day 1, minor and localized flooding in susceptible areas may occur.

ADDITIONAL DETAILS...

Continuing the trend from Day 1, the barometric pressure remains high at a mean pressure MSL of 1037.0699462890625 hPa during the high tide, suggesting stable weather conditions. The NOAA Flood Likelihood Analysis maintains a low likelihood for this date as well, with no significant change in the distance to threshold from the previous day.

Day 3: 2024-02-02

CATEGORY 2

WHAT Persistent minor coastal flooding potential due to high tides.

WHEN Potential for higher water levels around high tides at 09:18 AM and again at approximately 23:30 PM PST.

IMPACTS Ongoing minor impacts similar to previous days, with possible nuisance flooding in low-lying coastal areas.

ADDITIONAL DETAILS...

The barometric pressure during both high tides on this day remains elevated (mean pressure MSL of 1038.1600341796875 hPa), which correlates with less severe weather conditions and a lower likelihood of significant flooding. The NOAA Flood Likelihood Analysis continues to show a low likelihood for this date, consistent with the previous days' assessments.

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 and adhere to any advisories or evacuation orders that may be issued.
