Flood Watch

Redondo Beach, WA

Day 1: 2024-03-07

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.

ADDITIONAL DETAILS...

The barometric pressure readings for the high tides on this day are significantly higher than the threshold associated with past flooding events, indicating less severe weather conditions and a lower likelihood of major flooding. The tide heights are not reaching the levels seen in historical Category 4 or higher events, which further reduces the risk. However, given the NOAA's low likelihood of flooding and the distance to the flood threshold being negative, there is still a minor risk for coastal flooding, especially in susceptible areas.

Day 2: 2024-03-08

CATEGORY 1

WHAT No significant coastal flooding expected.

WHEN Peak high tide times around 4:06 AM and 2:36 PM PST.

IMPACTS No significant impacts anticipated.

ADDITIONAL DETAILS...

The barometric pressure is well above the threshold that has historically led to flooding events, suggesting very low risk for coastal flooding. The tide levels are not indicative of a significant risk either. The NOAA flood likelihood remains low, with no percentage indicated for potential flooding. The weather conditions appear stable and do not suggest any immediate threat of flooding.

Day 3: 2024-03-09

CATEGORY 2

WHAT Minor coastal flooding possible but unlikely to cause significant impact.

WHEN Around high tide times at 4:36 AM and 3:36 PM PST.

IMPACTS Possible minor pooling in low-lying coastal areas and roads near the shoreline.

ADDITIONAL DETAILS...

The barometric pressure is slightly lower than on previous days but still above the critical threshold associated with severe flooding events. The NOAA flood likelihood is very low at 0.1%, indicating a minimal risk of flooding. The tide height is not reaching critical levels seen in past Category 4 or higher events, which suggests that any potential flooding would be minor and localized.

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.
