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 9:00 AM to 10:00 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 led to severe flooding events. With pressures well above 1035 hPa, the risk of flooding due to storm surge is considerably lower despite the high tide. The NOAA Flood Likelihood Analysis indicates a low likelihood of flooding with a 0.0% chance, which supports the assessment of a lower category risk. However, given the high tide levels, minor coastal flooding is still possible.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT Minor coastal flooding potential persists with slight inundation near shorelines and low-lying areas.
WHEN Highest risk around high tide times, particularly in the late afternoon.
IMPACTS Similar to Day 1, expect minor nuisance flooding in susceptible regions. No significant property damage anticipated.
Continued high barometric pressure readings above 1037 hPa suggest stable weather conditions that are not conducive to severe flooding. The NOAA Flood Likelihood Analysis remains at a low likelihood of flooding for this day as well. The tide levels are not reaching the thresholds observed during past significant flood events, which further reduces the risk of major flooding.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT Ongoing minor coastal flooding risks due to high tides, with limited impact expected.
WHEN Potential for minor flooding around the evening high tide.
IMPACTS Low-lying areas and parks may experience minor overflow; however, substantial impacts are unlikely.
Barometric pressure remains high on this day, similar to the previous days, indicating a stable atmosphere and low risk of storm-induced flooding. The NOAA Flood Likelihood Analysis continues to show a low likelihood of flooding with no expected exceedance of flood thresholds. While the tide levels are elevated, they do not approach the critical levels associated with past significant flood events in Redondo Beach, WA.
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 minor flooding develop. Always follow instructions from local authorities and stay informed about the latest weather updates and advisories.
