Flood Watch

Redondo Beach, WA

Day 1: 2024-02-13

CATEGORY 3

WHAT Minor coastal flooding expected. Possible inundation of up to 0.35 feet above ground level near shorelines and low-lying areas.

*WHEN From 07:00 AM to 08:00 AM PST.

IMPACTS Minor flooding of low-lying areas, parks, and roads. Isolated road closures possible.

ADDITIONAL DETAILS...

The barometric pressure during the high tide at 07:24 AM is significantly higher than the threshold that has historically led to severe flooding events. The pressure of 1015.5 hPa suggests less severe weather conditions, reducing the likelihood of a major flood event. However, NOAA's high tide flooding likelihood for this day is marked as high, with a 7.9% chance, which warrants attention and monitoring. The tide height is not provided, but the distance to the threshold is -0.35m, indicating that water levels are close to flood thresholds.

Day 2: 2024-02-14

CATEGORY 2

WHAT Low risk of coastal flooding.

WHEN Throughout the day.

IMPACTS No significant impacts expected.

ADDITIONAL DETAILS...

On this day, the barometric pressure readings during both high tides are well above the historical threshold for severe flooding events, with pressures of 1030.8 hPa and 1032.3 hPa respectively. This suggests stable weather conditions and a very low likelihood of flooding. NOAA's data also indicates a high likelihood of flooding but with a lower percentage (6.4%) compared to the previous day, and the distance to the threshold has slightly increased to -0.41m.

Day 3: 2024-02-15

CATEGORY 1

WHAT No risk of coastal flooding.

WHEN Throughout the day.

IMPACTS No impacts due to flooding are expected.

ADDITIONAL DETAILS...

The barometric pressure remains high at both high tides, identical at 1025.1 hPa, which suggests continued stable weather conditions and a very low risk of flooding. NOAA's data supports this with a low flood likelihood percentage of only 0.5%, and a significant distance to the threshold of -0.91m indicates that water levels are well below flood thresholds.

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 and adhere to any advisories or evacuation orders that may be issued.
