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 09:30 AM PST, coinciding with the morning high tide.

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

ADDITIONAL DETAILS...

The barometric pressure during the high tide at 08:24 is significantly higher than the threshold that has historically indicated severe flooding risk. The pressure of 1034.6600341796875 hPa suggests less severe weather conditions and a lower likelihood of an extreme flooding event. The tide data indicates a high tide, but without the presence of low barometric pressure or strong winds from the W/NW, the risk of significant flooding is reduced. Comparing with historical events, particularly the event on 12/17/2022, the current conditions do not forecast a high risk of flooding.

Day 2: 2024-02-01

CATEGORY 1

WHAT No significant coastal flooding expected.

WHEN Throughout the day, despite the high tide event.

IMPACTS No significant impacts anticipated.

ADDITIONAL DETAILS...

The barometric pressure at the time of high tide is well above the critical threshold associated with past flood events. With a mean pressure MSL of 1037.0699462890625 hPa and no indication from NOAA's Flood Likelihood Analysis of an impending flood event, it is unlikely that there will be any significant flood-related impacts on this day.

Day 3: 2024-02-02

CATEGORY 1

WHAT No significant coastal flooding expected.

WHEN Throughout the day, including during high tide events.

IMPACTS No significant impacts anticipated.

ADDITIONAL DETAILS...

Similar to Day 2, the barometric pressure remains high during both high tide events, with a mean pressure MSL of 1038.1600341796875 hPa. This high pressure, combined with NOAA's Flood Likelihood Analysis indicating a low likelihood of flooding, suggests that there is no significant risk for coastal flooding on this day.

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.
