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, and again from 9:00 PM to 11:00 PM PST.

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

ADDITIONAL DETAILS...

The barometric pressure readings for the high tides on this day are significantly higher than the threshold that has historically indicated severe flooding events. With pressures of 1020.07 hPa and 1021.94 hPa during the high tides, the risk of flooding is lower than in past Category 3 or higher events. The NOAA Flood Likelihood Analysis also indicates a low likelihood of flooding for this day, with a likelihood percent of 0.0%. The wind direction is not provided, but given the other factors, the risk remains categorized at a lower level.

Day 2: 2024-03-07

CATEGORY 2

WHAT Minor coastal flooding potential persists with limited impact expected.

WHEN Highest risk near the time of high tide at approximately 3:42 AM PST.

IMPACTS Similar to Day 1, with minor nuisance flooding in susceptible areas.

ADDITIONAL DETAILS...

On this day, the barometric pressure during the high tide in the early morning is slightly lower at 1019.29 hPa but still well above the critical threshold associated with significant flooding events. The afternoon high tide shows an even higher pressure of 1022.64 hPa, suggesting stable weather conditions. NOAA's Flood Likelihood Analysis continues to show a low likelihood of flooding for this date.

Day 3: 2024-03-08

CATEGORY 2

WHAT Continued minor coastal flooding potential with no significant change in conditions.

WHEN Highest risk periods are around the high tides at approximately 4:06 AM PST and again at around 2:36 PM PST.

IMPACTS Ongoing minor inundation risks in low-lying coastal areas and roads near the shoreline.

ADDITIONAL DETAILS...

The barometric pressures for both high tides on this day are above the threshold that typically indicates severe weather and potential flooding risks (1024.67 hPa and 1023.31 hPa). The NOAA Flood Likelihood Analysis maintains a low likelihood of flooding for this date as well, with no significant change from previous days.

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.
