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 7:00 AM PST and again from 5:00 PM to 7:00 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 led to severe flooding events. The pressure readings of 1035.050048828125 hPa in the morning and 1031.27001953125 hPa in the evening are well above the critical threshold of 992.8 hPa, indicating less severe weather conditions and a lower likelihood of extreme flooding. The NOAA Flood Likelihood Analysis also indicates a low likelihood of flooding with a 0.0% chance, which supports the forecast of a Category 2 event for this day.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT Minor coastal flooding potential remains, with slight inundation possible in very low-lying areas.
WHEN Highest risk near the times of high tide at approximately 6:36 AM PST.
IMPACTS Similar minor impacts as Day 1, with potential for puddling in susceptible coastal zones.
Continuing the trend from Day 1, the barometric pressure remains high at around 1029.02001953125 hPa during the morning high tide, suggesting stable weather conditions and a reduced risk of significant flooding. The NOAA Flood Likelihood Analysis continues to show a low likelihood of flooding for this day as well, reinforcing the Category 2 prediction.
CATEGORY 3
WHAT Increased risk of coastal flooding due to higher tide levels. Potential for water encroachment into more vulnerable areas.
WHEN Highest risk during the morning high tide at approximately 7:00 AM PST.
IMPACTS Elevated risk compared to previous days, with possible minor property damage in areas that are typically safe from minor tidal events.
On Day 3, while the barometric pressure is still relatively high at 1033.8499755859375 hPa, it is slightly lower than on previous days. This, combined with the fact that we are approaching a full moon phase which can result in naturally higher tides, suggests a slightly increased risk of flooding compared to Days 1 and 2. However, since all pressures are well above the critical threshold and no significant rainfall is expected, the risk remains moderate with a Category 3 prediction.
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.
