Redondo Beach, WA
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 8:00 AM to 11:00 AM PST.
IMPACTS Minor flooding of low-lying areas, parks, and roads. Isolated road closures possible.
The barometric pressure readings for the high tides on this day are significantly higher than the threshold that has historically indicated severe flooding events. With pressures well above 1030 hPa, the risk of flooding due to atmospheric conditions is low. The tide levels, while elevated, are not forecasted to reach the thresholds that have previously resulted in major flooding events in Redondo Beach, WA. Wind direction and speed are not provided but would be a lesser factor given the high barometric pressure.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT Continued minor coastal flooding potential with limited impact.
WHEN Highest risk near the time of high tide at approximately 10:00 AM PST.
IMPACTS Similar to Day 1 with minor nuisance flooding in susceptible areas.
The barometric pressure remains high on this day, suggesting stable atmospheric conditions that are not conducive to significant storm development or severe flooding. Tide levels are expected to be slightly lower than on Day 1, further reducing the risk. The NOAA flood likelihood remains low, indicating minimal threat.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT Low risk of coastal flooding continues with no significant change in conditions.
WHEN Potential for minor flooding around high tide times, particularly in the late afternoon.
IMPACTS Persistent minor overflow in the most vulnerable coastal areas and low-lying spots.
Barometric pressures are still well above the critical threshold associated with major flooding events. Tide levels show a slight increase compared to Day 2 but remain below those seen in historical Category 4 or higher events. Without a significant drop in pressure or an increase in wind speeds from critical directions, the flood risk remains low.
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 for emergency preparedness information and heed any evacuation orders or advisories that may be issued.
