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 8:00 AM to 10:00 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 previous flood events, suggesting less severe weather conditions. However, the high tide at 08:36 with a mean pressure MSL of 1024.1199951171875 hPa, although not as low as in past severe events, still warrants attention due to the proximity to historical minor flood conditions. The NOAA Flood Likelihood for this day is low at 0.5%, indicating a minimal chance of flooding despite the high tide.
CATEGORY 4
WHAT Coastal flooding likely but not expected to cause major property damage.
WHEN From 9:00 AM to 11:00 AM PST and again from 6:00 PM to 8:00 PM PST.
IMPACTS Potential for flooding of properties, especially in low-lying areas and regions with poor drainage. Some roadways may become impassable.
The barometric pressure during the high tides is approaching the threshold associated with previous Category 4 events, particularly in the evening with a mean pressure MSL of 1000.4600219726562 hPa. The NOAA Flood Likelihood remains low; however, the combination of lowering pressure and high tide levels increases the risk compared to Day 1.
CATEGORY 3
WHAT Minor coastal flooding possible but less likely than on Day 2.
WHEN Highest risk around high tides, particularly from 9:30 AM to 11:30 AM PST.
IMPACTS Low-lying areas and parks may experience minor flooding. Water may approach property lines but significant damage is not anticipated.
The barometric pressure on Day 3 is slightly higher than on Day 2, indicating less severe weather conditions and a reduced likelihood of flooding compared to the previous day. The high tide at 10:00 AM with a mean pressure MSL of 1006.6599731445312 hPa is still notable but does not reach the critical thresholds observed in past Category 4 or higher events. NOAA's Flood Likelihood remains low for this day as well.
Residents and businesses near the shore 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.
