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 2:00 AM to 4:00 AM PST, coinciding with the high tide.
IMPACTS Minor flooding of low-lying areas, parks, and roads. Isolated road closures possible.
The barometric pressure readings for the high tides on this day are significantly higher than the threshold that has historically led to severe flooding events. With pressures well above 1000 hPa and no indication from NOAA's Flood Likelihood Analysis of an impending flood event, the risk remains low despite the high tide. The absence of strong winds from the W/NW further reduces the likelihood of a significant flood event.
CATEGORY 1
WHAT No significant coastal flooding expected.
WHEN The entire day, despite high tides.
IMPACTS No notable impacts anticipated.
The barometric pressure is forecasted to be even higher than on Day 1, which suggests stable weather conditions and a very low likelihood of flooding. The tide levels are not reaching thresholds that have been associated with past flood events, and NOAA's Flood Likelihood Analysis indicates no risk of flooding.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT Minor coastal flooding possible but unlikely to cause any damage.
WHEN Highest risk near the time of high tide at approximately 4:36 AM PST.
IMPACTS Potential for minor pooling in low-lying coastal areas and roads but no significant damage expected.
Similar to Day 1, the barometric pressure remains high, suggesting minimal risk for severe weather conditions that could lead to flooding. The tide height is not substantially different from the previous days, and there is no new data from NOAA's Flood Likelihood Analysis to suggest an increased risk. Wind direction data is not provided but would be a lesser factor given the high barometric pressure readings.
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.
