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 9:00 AM to 12:00 PM PST.
IMPACTS Minor flooding of low-lying areas, parks, and roads. Isolated road closures possible.
The barometric pressure during the high tide at 10:00 AM is significantly higher than the threshold that has historically led to severe flooding events. With a mean pressure MSL of 1002.5599975585938 hPa, this is above the critical threshold of 992.8 hPa. The NOAA Flood Likelihood Analysis indicates a low likelihood of flooding for this date, with a likelihood percent of 0.0%. The tide data shows that the high tide levels are not reaching the thresholds that have been associated with past flood events categorized as Category 3 or higher. Wind direction data is not provided, but given the low precipitation probability and moderate wind speeds forecasted in the weather data, wind impact is expected to be minimal.
CATEGORY 1
WHAT No significant coastal flooding expected.
WHEN Throughout the day.
IMPACTS No significant impacts anticipated.
On Day 2, the barometric pressure during both high tides is well above the threshold associated with significant flooding events, with pressures of 1022.4400024414062 hPa and 1017.0900268554688 hPa respectively. This suggests stable weather conditions and a very low risk of flooding. NOAA's Flood Likelihood Analysis continues to indicate a low likelihood of flooding with a likelihood percent of 0.0%. The tide levels are not near the historical flood event thresholds, and no significant weather conditions that could contribute to flooding have been forecasted.
CATEGORY 1
WHAT No significant coastal flooding expected.
WHEN Throughout the day.
IMPACTS No significant impacts anticipated.
On Day 3, barometric pressures during high tides are at 1032.1400146484375 hPa and 1031.969970703125 hPa, which are significantly higher than any historical flood event pressures and indicate very stable atmospheric conditions. NOAA's Flood Likelihood Analysis remains consistent with a low likelihood of flooding at 0.0%. The tide levels are below those seen in historical Category 3 or higher events, and there are no indications from the weather data that would suggest an increased risk 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. Always follow advice from local authorities regarding flood safety and preparedness measures.
