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 3:00 PM to 5:00 PM PST.
IMPACTS Minor flooding of low-lying areas, parks, and roads. Isolated road closures possible.
The barometric pressure is significantly higher than the threshold associated with previous flood events, indicating less severe weather conditions and a lower likelihood of an extreme flooding event. The high tide at 15:54 with a mean pressure MSL of 1035.8 hPa is well above the threshold that has historically led to flooding, reducing the risk significantly. The NOAA Flood Likelihood for this day is low, with a 0.0% chance of flooding, which supports the forecast of a lower category event.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT Slight risk of coastal flooding near high tide times. Inundation unlikely to exceed 0.3 feet above ground level.
WHEN Highest risk near high tide at approximately 5:42 AM and again at 4:36 PM PST.
IMPACTS Minimal impacts expected, with potential for water accumulation in typically vulnerable coastal areas.
The barometric pressure on this day starts at a lower value than on Day 1 but remains well above the critical threshold associated with significant flood events. The high tide at 16:36 with a mean pressure MSL of 1034.1 hPa suggests stable weather conditions and a low risk of severe flooding. NOAA's Flood Likelihood remains low with no expected flooding, which aligns with the historical data indicating that the conditions are not conducive to a high-category flood event.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT Low risk of coastal flooding, with no significant tidal impact anticipated.
WHEN Low likelihood throughout the day, despite high tides in the early morning around 6:00 AM and late afternoon around 5:18 PM PST.
IMPACTS No significant impacts expected due to high barometric pressure and low NOAA flood likelihood predictions.
On Day 3, the barometric pressure readings during high tides are still well above the threshold levels seen in past flood events, indicating that severe weather is not expected to contribute to flooding risks. The NOAA Flood Likelihood analysis continues to show a low chance of flooding, which is consistent with the lack of historical precedent for flooding under these conditions.
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 adhere to any advisories or evacuation orders that may be issued.
