Flood Watch

Redondo Beach, WA

Day 1: 2024-03-03

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 8:00 AM to 10:00 AM PST.

IMPACTS Minor flooding of low-lying areas, parks, and roads. Isolated road closures possible.

ADDITIONAL DETAILS...

The barometric pressure is significantly higher than the threshold that has historically led to severe flooding events. The high tide at 08:42 with a mean pressure MSL of 1015.97998046875 hPa does not approach the critical lower pressure levels seen in past Category 4 or higher events. The NOAA Flood Likelihood Analysis indicates a low likelihood of flooding for this date, which aligns with the absence of critical pressure levels and the lack of significant precipitation in the weather forecast.

Day 2: 2024-03-04

CATEGORY 1

WHAT No significant coastal flooding expected.

WHEN Throughout the day.

IMPACTS No notable impacts anticipated due to high tides or weather conditions.

ADDITIONAL DETAILS...

The barometric pressure remains high, well above the threshold associated with previous flood events. The high tide at 09:30 with a mean pressure MSL of 1021.3599853515625 hPa suggests a very low risk of flooding. The weather forecast does not indicate any severe weather that could contribute to increased flood risks. NOAA's Flood Likelihood Analysis supports this assessment with a low likelihood prediction for this date.

Day 3: 2024-03-05

CATEGORY 1

WHAT No significant coastal flooding expected.

WHEN Throughout the day.

IMPACTS No notable impacts anticipated due to high tides or weather conditions.

ADDITIONAL DETAILS...

On this day, the barometric pressure is at its highest for the three-day period, indicating stable weather conditions and a very low risk of flooding. The high tide at 10:54 with a mean pressure MSL of 1024.43994140625 hPa further supports this assessment. The NOAA Flood Likelihood Analysis continues to show a low likelihood of flooding, consistent with the observed weather and tidal data.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

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, as this analysis is based on limited data and does not account for all possible factors that could affect flood risks.
