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 3:30 AM to 4:00 AM PST and from 1:30 PM to 2:00 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 thresholds observed during historical flood events, indicating less severe weather conditions and a lower likelihood of major flooding. The tide heights are not reaching the levels seen in past Category 4 or higher events, which further reduces the risk. However, given the high tide levels, minor coastal flooding is still possible.
CATEGORY 1
WHAT No significant coastal flooding expected.
WHEN Around high tides at 4:06 AM and 2:36 PM PST.
IMPACTS No significant impacts anticipated. Normal tidal fluctuations expected without overtopping of coastal barriers.
The barometric pressure is forecasted to be high during both high tides, which greatly diminishes the risk of flooding. The tide levels are not expected to reach a height that would cause concern based on historical data comparisons. The weather conditions appear stable with no significant risk factors present for flooding.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT Minor coastal flooding possible due to slightly higher tide levels.
WHEN Around high tides at 4:36 AM and 3:36 PM PST.
IMPACTS Potential for minor overflow in the most vulnerable spots along the shorelines and low-lying areas. Some nuisance flooding possible in parking lots and walkways near the beach.
The barometric pressure is lower than on Day 2 but still not within the range associated with severe flood events. The tide height is slightly higher than on Day 2, which may result in minor coastal flooding, especially if combined with onshore winds. However, the overall risk remains low due to the absence of extreme weather conditions and relatively moderate tide levels compared to historical Category 4 or higher events.
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.
