Flood Watch

Redondo Beach, WA

Day 1: 2024-03-08

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 3:00 AM to 5:00 AM PST.

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

ADDITIONAL DETAILS...

The barometric pressure during the high tide at 04:06 is 1022.02001953125 hPa, which is significantly higher than the threshold associated with previous flood events. This suggests that while the tide is high, the risk of severe flooding is reduced due to the higher atmospheric pressure. The NOAA Flood Likelihood Analysis indicates a low likelihood of flooding for this date, with a 0.0% likelihood percent and a distance to threshold of -1.61m, which supports the assessment of a lower flood risk category.

Day 2: 2024-03-09

CATEGORY 2

WHAT Minor coastal flooding potential persists with limited impact expected.

WHEN Highest risk near the time of high tide at approximately 4:30 AM PST.

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

ADDITIONAL DETAILS...

The barometric pressure for the high tide at 04:36 is recorded at 1022.0599975585938 hPa, which remains well above critical levels that would indicate a higher risk of flooding. NOAA's Flood Likelihood Analysis shows a very low likelihood of flooding at 0.1%, with a distance to threshold of -1.35m, reinforcing the prediction of minimal flood risk.

Day 3: 2024-03-10

CATEGORY 3

WHAT Elevated risk of coastal flooding due to higher tides and slightly lower barometric pressure.

WHEN Increased risk around high tide at approximately 5:00 AM PST.

IMPACTS Potential for moderate flooding in low-lying coastal areas and roads, with possible disruptions to travel and waterfront activities.

ADDITIONAL DETAILS...

On this day, the barometric pressure at high tide (05:00) is forecasted to be 1020.2000122070312 hPa, which is closer to the threshold that may contribute to flood conditions when combined with high tides. The NOAA Flood Likelihood Analysis indicates a low but increased likelihood of flooding at 1.4%, with a distance to threshold of -0.94m. This suggests a slightly higher risk compared to the previous days, warranting closer monitoring and preparedness for potential impacts.

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.
