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 5:00 AM to 8:00 AM 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 extreme flooding. The high tide at 06:00 with a mean pressure MSL of 1034.489990234375 hPa is well above the threshold that has historically led to flooding, reducing the risk. The NOAA Flood Likelihood Analysis indicates a low likelihood of flooding for this date, with a distance to threshold of -1.69m, which supports the lower category prediction.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT Slight risk of coastal flooding near high tide times. Minimal impact expected.
WHEN From 5:30 AM to 8:30 AM PST.
IMPACTS Possible pooling of water in susceptible coastal areas and minor inconvenience during high tide.
The barometric pressure remains high at 1036.4599609375 hPa during the morning high tide, suggesting stable weather conditions and a reduced risk of significant flooding. The evening high tide shows a slightly lower pressure at 1030.8399658203125 hPa but still not indicative of major flood risks. NOAA's analysis continues to show a low likelihood of flooding for this day.
CATEGORY 3
WHAT Elevated risk of coastal flooding due to lower barometric pressure and high tide.
WHEN From 6:00 AM to 9:00 AM PST.
IMPACTS Increased potential for minor property damage in low-lying coastal areas, with water possibly reaching structures closest to the shoreline.
The barometric pressure has decreased slightly to near-threshold levels at 1028.8199462890625 hPa during the morning high tide, which could contribute to an increased risk of coastal flooding compared to the previous days. The NOAA Flood Likelihood Analysis still indicates a low likelihood, but given the proximity to historical event thresholds, there is a heightened awareness for potential flood risks on this day.
Residents and businesses near the shore 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.
