Redondo Beach, WA
CATEGORY 3
WHAT Minor coastal flooding expected. Possible inundation of up to 0.5 feet above ground level near shorelines and low-lying areas.
*WHEN From 4:00 AM to 6:30 AM PST.
IMPACTS Minor flooding of low-lying areas, parks, and roads. Isolated road closures possible.
The barometric pressure is significantly higher than the threshold associated with past flooding events, suggesting less severe weather conditions. However, the high tide at 05:24 with a mean pressure MSL of 1022.4600219726562 hPa indicates a potential for minor coastal flooding, especially in conjunction with the overcast weather and light drizzle forecasted for the day. The wind direction is from the southeast, which may not significantly contribute to storm surge in this region.
CATEGORY 3
WHAT Continued risk of minor coastal flooding, particularly during high tide.
WHEN From 4:30 AM to 7:00 AM PST.
IMPACTS Similar to Day 1, expect minor flooding in susceptible areas. The risk remains consistent with the previous day's forecast.
The barometric pressure remains high at 1021.8599853515625 hPa during the morning high tide, reducing the likelihood of severe flooding. The wind direction is easterly-southeasterly, which may not exacerbate water levels significantly along the coast. NOAA's low flood likelihood percentage supports this assessment.
CATEGORY 4
WHAT Elevated risk of coastal flooding due to lower barometric pressure and high tide.
WHEN From 5:00 AM to 7:30 AM PST.
IMPACTS Increased potential for flooding of properties and infrastructure along the coast. Residents should be prepared for more significant impacts than the previous days.
The barometric pressure drops to near the threshold level at 1018.02001953125 hPa during the morning high tide, indicating a greater risk of flooding compared to Days 1 and 2. The wind direction is not provided but considering the lower pressure and historical data, there is an increased risk for coastal flooding. This assessment is also supported by NOAA's increased flood likelihood percentage for this day.
Residents 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 evacuation orders or safety instructions provided by emergency services.
