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 3:00 AM to 5:00 AM PST, coinciding with the high tide.
IMPACTS Minor flooding of low-lying areas, parks, and roads. Isolated road closures possible.
The barometric pressure during the high tide at 04:30 AM on 2024-02-07 is forecasted to be 1024.75 hPa, which is significantly higher than the threshold associated with previous flood events. This suggests that the risk of severe weather conditions leading to flooding is low. The NOAA Flood Likelihood Analysis indicates a low likelihood of flooding for this date, with a 0.0% chance and a distance to the flood threshold of -1.77m. The wind direction is from the southeast, which is not directly pushing seawater towards the coast, further reducing the risk of flooding.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT Slight risk of coastal flooding near high tide times.
WHEN Highest risk near the high tide at 2:36 PM PST.
IMPACTS Potential for minor overflow in very low-lying areas, but significant flooding is not expected.
On 2024-02-08, the barometric pressure at high tide (14:36) is predicted to be 1023.14 hPa, which remains above the critical threshold that has historically led to flooding events. The NOAA Flood Likelihood Analysis maintains a low likelihood of flooding with a distance to threshold of -1.27m. The wind direction data is not provided; however, given the pressure and NOAA's analysis, significant flood risks are not anticipated.
CATEGORY 3
WHAT Elevated risk of coastal flooding due to high tide and potential weather conditions.
WHEN High tide at 5:24 AM PST and again around mid-afternoon at approximately 3:30 PM PST.
IMPACTS Increased potential for minor property damage in low-lying coastal areas and possible road closures due to localized flooding.
The barometric pressure on this day during high tides is slightly lower than on previous days but still above critical thresholds observed during past flood events. The NOAA Flood Likelihood Analysis shows a very slight increase in flood likelihood to 0.2%, with a distance to threshold of -1.02m, indicating a marginal increase in flood risk compared to previous days. Without specific wind direction data for this day, it's challenging to fully assess the impact; however, based on available data, there is an elevated risk compared to previous days but still categorized as low overall.
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 and adhere to any advisories or evacuation orders that may be issued.
