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 6:00 AM to 8:00 AM PST.
IMPACTS Minor flooding of low-lying areas, parks, and roads. Isolated road closures possible.
The barometric pressure is significantly higher than the threshold associated with previous flood events, suggesting less severe weather conditions. The high tide at 06:30 with a mean pressure MSL of 1011.3599853515625 hPa is not indicative of a major flood risk, especially when compared to historical Category 3 events or higher. NOAA's Flood Likelihood Analysis indicates a low likelihood of flooding at 1.7%, which supports the assessment of a lower category event.
CATEGORY 3
WHAT Elevated risk of coastal flooding. Potential for water levels to reach up to 1 foot above ground in some areas.
WHEN From 7:00 AM to 9:00 AM PST.
IMPACTS Increased flooding of low-lying coastal areas and roads, with possible minor property damage in vulnerable locations.
The barometric pressure during the high tide at 07:06 is lower at 1006.9600219726562 hPa, which is closer to the threshold observed during historical Category 3 events. This suggests a greater risk of flooding compared to Day 1. However, NOAA's Flood Likelihood Analysis still indicates a low likelihood at 0.3%, which tempers the overall risk assessment.
CATEGORY 1
WHAT No significant risk of coastal flooding expected under current conditions.
WHEN Throughout the day.
IMPACTS Normal tidal conditions with no significant impacts anticipated.
On Day 3, the barometric pressure during both high tides is much higher at 1024.6700439453125 hPa, which greatly reduces the likelihood of flooding. The NOAA Flood Likelihood Analysis also indicates a negligible likelihood of flooding at 0.0%. These factors combined with the absence of any significant high tide levels suggest minimal flood risk for this day.
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. Always follow the advice and instructions from local authorities and emergency services regarding flood safety and preparedness.
