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 4:00 AM to 5:00 AM PST and again from 2:00 PM to 3:00 PM PST.
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 indicated severe flooding events. With pressures well above 1030 hPa during both high tides, the risk of flooding due to storm surge is considerably lower despite the high tide levels. The NOAA's Flood Likelihood Analysis also indicates a low likelihood of flooding for this date, with a 0.0% likelihood percent and a distance to threshold of -1.56m, which supports the forecast of a lower category flood event.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT Minor coastal flooding potential persists with slight inundation near shorelines and low-lying areas.
WHEN From approximately 5:00 AM to 6:00 AM PST and again from around 3:00 PM to 4:00 PM PST.
IMPACTS Similar minor impacts as the previous day, with potential for nuisance flooding in susceptible locations.
Continuing the trend from Day 1, barometric pressure remains high during the predicted high tides, indicating stable atmospheric conditions that are not conducive to significant storm surge or coastal flooding. The NOAA Flood Likelihood remains at a low level with no expected flooding, which aligns with the high barometric pressure data and historical event comparisons.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT Ongoing minor coastal flooding risk with limited impact expected in immediate coastal areas.
WHEN Highest risk near the high tide at approximately 4:00 PM to 5:00 PM PST.
IMPACTS Continuation of minor nuisance flooding in low-lying coastal areas and parks, with possible brief road closures.
The barometric pressure on this day is still well above the critical threshold associated with significant flooding events. The NOAA Flood Likelihood Analysis indicates a low likelihood of flooding, consistent with the other days' forecasts. The wind direction is not provided but given the other factors, it is unlikely to have a significant impact unless it is unusually strong from a direction that pushes water toward the shore.
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 heed any evacuation orders or safety instructions provided by emergency services.
