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, 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 04:06 is 1022.05 hPa, which is significantly higher than the threshold associated with previous flood events. This suggests less severe weather conditions and a lower likelihood of an extreme flooding event. 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 forecast of only minor coastal flooding.

Day 2: 2024-03-09

CATEGORY 2

WHAT Minor coastal flooding potential persists with slight inundation near shorelines and low-lying areas.

WHEN From 3:30 AM to 5:30 AM PST, around the time of high tide.

IMPACTS Similar to Day 1, expect minor nuisance flooding in susceptible areas. Some waterfront walkways may be submerged temporarily.

ADDITIONAL DETAILS...

The barometric pressure at the time of high tide at 04:36 is 1021.65 hPa, which remains above the critical threshold for severe flooding events. NOAA's Flood Likelihood Analysis for this day shows a very low likelihood percent of only 0.1%, indicating that significant flooding is not expected.

Day 3: 2024-03-10

CATEGORY 3

WHAT Elevated risk of coastal flooding due to higher tides. Inundation may affect more areas than previous days.

WHEN From 4:00 AM to 6:00 AM PST, during the peak of high tide.

IMPACTS Increased potential for minor property damage in very low-lying areas. Some roads may be impassable due to higher water levels.

ADDITIONAL DETAILS...

On this day, the barometric pressure at high tide at 05:00 is lower at 1020.24 hPa but still not below the critical threshold observed in past significant flood events. However, NOAA's Flood Likelihood Analysis indicates a slightly higher likelihood percent of 1.4%, which is still considered low but warrants closer monitoring due to the closer distance to the flood threshold compared to 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. Consult local authorities or experts for final decision-making in flood-related situations and adhere to any advisories or evacuation orders that may be issued.
