WHAT Minor coastal flooding expected. Possible inundation of up to 0.5 feet above ground level near shorelines and low-lying areas.
WHEN From 3:00 AM to 5:00 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 associated with past flooding events, indicating less severe weather conditions and a lower likelihood of major flooding. The tide levels, while elevated, are not forecasted to reach the thresholds that have historically resulted in significant flooding events in Redondo Beach, WA. The NOAA Flood Likelihood Analysis indicates a low likelihood of flooding with a 0.0% chance, which supports the assessment of a Category 2 flood potential for this day.

WHAT Continued minor coastal flooding potential with limited impact.
WHEN Around the high tide times of early morning and mid-afternoon.
IMPACTS Similar to Day 1, expect minor and localized flooding in susceptible areas.
The barometric pressure remains high on this day, suggesting stable weather conditions and a reduced risk of significant flooding. Tide levels are not expected to reach critical thresholds based on historical data comparisons. The wind direction and speed are not provided but considering the other factors, the risk remains categorized at level 2. NOAA's analysis continues to show a low likelihood of flooding for this date.
CATEGORY 3
WHAT Elevated risk of coastal flooding due to higher tide levels later in the day.
WHEN Particularly around the high tide at 3:54 PM PST.
IMPACTS Potential for moderate flooding in low-lying coastal areas and roads, with possible disruptions to travel and waterfront activities.
On this day, the barometric pressure is slightly lower than on previous days but still above the threshold associated with significant flood events. However, the tide level is forecasted to be higher in the evening, which warrants closer monitoring. The NOAA Flood Likelihood Analysis maintains a low likelihood rating for this date, but given the higher tide prediction for the evening, there is an increased risk compared to previous days. This analysis places Day 3 at a Category 3 flood potential due to these factors.
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.
