Flood Watch

Redondo Beach, WA

Day 1: 2024-03-06

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 2:00 AM to 4:00 AM PST, coinciding with the high tide.

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

ADDITIONAL DETAILS...

The barometric pressure during the high tide at 03:12 is 1020.06 hPa, which is significantly higher than the threshold associated with previous flood events. The tide level is not expected to reach the historical flood event thresholds, and NOAA's Flood Likelihood Analysis indicates a low likelihood of flooding for this date. Wind direction data is not provided, but given the current conditions and comparison with historical events, significant flooding is not anticipated.

Day 2: 2024-03-07

CATEGORY 2

WHAT Minor coastal flooding potential remains due to high tide levels.

WHEN Around the high tide time of 3:42 AM PST.

IMPACTS Similar minor impacts as the previous day, with potential for low-lying areas to experience brief inundation.

ADDITIONAL DETAILS...

The barometric pressure at the time of high tide is forecasted to be 1020.16 hPa, which is still above the critical threshold that would indicate a higher risk of flooding. The NOAA Flood Likelihood remains low for this date, and the distance to the flood threshold has decreased slightly compared to the previous day, but not significantly enough to raise the flood category.

Day 3: 2024-03-08

CATEGORY 2

WHAT Continuing pattern of minor coastal flooding risks due to high tides.

WHEN Early morning around 4:06 AM PST during high tide.

IMPACTS Persistent minor impacts in susceptible coastal areas, with no significant change from previous days.

ADDITIONAL DETAILS...

On this day, the barometric pressure at high tide will be even higher at 1024.84 hPa, further reducing the likelihood of severe weather conditions that could lead to flooding. The NOAA Flood Likelihood Analysis continues to indicate a low likelihood of flooding for this date. Without significant deviations from previous days' conditions or historical flood event data, the flood category remains consistent.

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 and heed any evacuation orders or safety instructions provided by emergency services.
