Flood Watch

Redondo Beach, WA

Day 1: 2024-02-01

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 9:00 PM to 11:00 PM 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, suggesting less severe weather conditions and a lower likelihood of an extreme flooding event. The high tide at 21:54 with a mean pressure MSL of 1035.97998046875 hPa is well above the threshold that has historically indicated increased flood risk. NOAA's Flood Likelihood Analysis indicates a low likelihood of flooding for this date, with a flood threshold distance of -1.68m, which supports the forecast of only minor coastal flooding.

Day 2: 2024-02-02

CATEGORY 1

WHAT No significant coastal flooding expected.

WHEN Throughout the day.

IMPACTS No significant impacts anticipated.

ADDITIONAL DETAILS...

The barometric pressure remains high during the high tides, with readings well above the critical threshold that would indicate a risk of severe weather and potential flooding. The highest tide level for the day is still below the levels associated with past Category 3 or higher events. NOAA's Flood Likelihood Analysis continues to show a low likelihood of flooding, with no expected exceedance of the flood threshold.

Day 3: 2024-02-03

CATEGORY 1

WHAT No significant coastal flooding expected.

WHEN Throughout the day.

IMPACTS No significant impacts anticipated.

ADDITIONAL DETAILS...

Similar to Day 2, the barometric pressure during high tides is high, indicating stable weather conditions and a low risk of flooding. The tide levels are not approaching those seen in historical flood events, and NOAA's analysis suggests a continued low likelihood of flooding with a significant distance to the flood threshold.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

You 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. Always consult with local authorities or experts for final decision-making in flood-related situations.
