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 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 on this day is significantly higher than the threshold that has historically led to severe flooding events. The high tide at 09:12 with a mean pressure MSL of 1004.4 hPa does not approach the critical pressure levels seen in past Category 4 or higher events. The NOAA Flood Likelihood Analysis indicates a low likelihood of flooding, with a distance to threshold well below the flood stage. Wind direction and speed are not provided but would be less impactful given the current pressure readings.
CATEGORY 1
WHAT No significant coastal flooding expected.
WHEN Throughout the day.
IMPACTS No notable impacts anticipated due to high tides or barometric pressure conditions.
The barometric pressure is forecasted to be above the threshold for significant flooding events, with a high tide at 10:00 showing a mean pressure MSL of 1002.7 hPa and another high tide at 15:36 with a mean pressure MSL of 1007.7 hPa. Both readings are well above the historical event thresholds that would indicate potential for flooding. NOAA's Flood Likelihood Analysis continues to show a low likelihood of flooding for this day.
CATEGORY 1
WHAT No significant coastal flooding expected.
WHEN Throughout the day.
IMPACTS No notable impacts anticipated due to high tides or barometric pressure conditions.
On this day, the barometric pressure during high tides is forecasted to be much higher than any historical flood event thresholds, with readings at 1018.0 hPa and 1016.2 hPa respectively for the two high tides. This suggests very low risk of flooding despite the occurrence of high tides. NOAA's Flood Likelihood Analysis supports this assessment with a continued low likelihood of flooding.
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, despite the current low-risk assessments. Always follow guidance from local authorities and emergency services for updates and instructions related to flood safety and preparedness.
