Flood Watch

Redondo Beach, WA

Day 1: 2024-02-02

CATEGORY 2

WHAT Minor coastal flooding expected due to high tide, but current barometric pressure suggests low risk of severe weather conditions. Possible minor inundation near shorelines and low-lying areas.

WHEN Highest risk near the time of high tide at 09:18 AM and again at 23:30 PM PST.

IMPACTS Potential for minor pooling of water in low-lying coastal areas and parks. No significant property damage expected.

ADDITIONAL DETAILS...

The barometric pressure readings for the high tides on this day are significantly higher than the threshold that has historically indicated severe flooding (1006.1 hPa). With readings of 1038.1700439453125 hPa and 1040.9000244140625 hPa, the likelihood of a severe flood event is low. The NOAA Flood Likelihood Analysis also indicates a low likelihood of flooding with a 0.0% chance, which supports the forecast of a Category 2 event.

Day 2: 2024-02-03

CATEGORY 2

WHAT Continued minor coastal flooding risk due to high tide levels, with barometric pressure remaining high, indicating stable weather conditions.

WHEN Highest risk near the time of high tide at 09:54 AM and again at 16:12 PM PST.

IMPACTS Similar to Day 1, expect minor pooling in susceptible coastal areas. No significant disruptions anticipated.

ADDITIONAL DETAILS...

The barometric pressure remains well above the historical threshold for severe flooding events, with readings of 1035.7900390625 hPa and 1036.0899658203125 hPa during high tides. The NOAA Flood Likelihood Analysis continues to show a low likelihood of flooding for this day, reinforcing the Category 2 prediction.

Day 3: 2024-02-04

CATEGORY 3

WHAT Elevated risk of coastal flooding due to high tide levels. Barometric pressure is still high but warrants monitoring for any changes.

WHEN Highest risk near the time of high tide at 16:36 PM and again at 20:12 PM PST.

IMPACTS Increased potential for minor flooding in low-lying coastal areas and parks, with isolated road closures possible if conditions worsen unexpectedly.

ADDITIONAL DETAILS...

Barometric pressure readings during high tides are at 1035.6199951171875 hPa, which is still above the threshold for severe events but slightly lower than previous days. The NOAA Flood Likelihood Analysis maintains a low likelihood of flooding, but given the slight decrease in pressure and consistent high tides, there is a slightly elevated risk compared to the previous days, leading to a Category 3 prediction.

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.
