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 6:00 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 thresholds associated with previous flood events, indicating less severe weather conditions and a lower likelihood of major flooding. The tide heights are not reaching the levels seen in historical Category 4 or 5 events. Wind direction data is not provided, but given the current conditions, the risk remains low.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT Minimal risk of coastal flooding. No significant inundation expected.
WHEN Highest risk near the time of high tide at approximately 4:00 PM PST.
IMPACTS Low potential for minor tidal overflow onto very low-lying coastal roads and footpaths.
The barometric pressure is still relatively high, reducing the risk of severe weather that could lead to flooding. Tide levels are below those seen in past significant flood events. The NOAA flood likelihood remains low for this date, further supporting a minimal flood risk assessment.
CATEGORY 3
WHAT Elevated risk of coastal flooding due to higher tide levels. Potential for water encroachment into low-lying areas.
WHEN Potential for higher water levels from early morning around 5:00 AM PST and again in the late afternoon around 4:00 PM PST during high tides.
IMPACTS Possible minor flooding of the most vulnerable shorelines and adjacent roads. Some precautionary measures may be needed in flood-prone areas.
On this day, the barometric pressure drops closer to the threshold that has historically indicated a higher risk of flooding, although it remains above the critical levels seen in Category 4 or 5 events. The tide height is also increasing but does not reach the levels associated with major historical floods. The NOAA flood likelihood data indicates a low chance of flooding, which supports a Category 3 rating due to slightly more concerning pressure and tide data compared to the previous days.
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 more detailed information and adhere to any advisories or evacuation orders that may be issued.
