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 and from 7:00 PM to 9:00 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 threshold that has historically led to severe flooding events. The pressure readings of 1011.25 hPa and 1013.25 hPa during the high tides are indicative of more stable weather conditions compared to past Category 4 or higher events. The NOAA Flood Likelihood Analysis indicates a low likelihood of flooding at 1.7%, with a distance to threshold of -0.91m, which supports the prediction 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 level in some areas.
WHEN From 7:00 AM to 9:00 AM PST and from 8:30 PM to 10:30 PM PST.
IMPACTS Increased flooding of low-lying coastal areas and roads, with possible disruption to transportation and localized property damage.
On this day, the morning high tide coincides with a barometric pressure of 1006.3900146484375 hPa, which is closer to the historical Category 3 event pressure threshold. This suggests a slightly higher risk compared to Day 1. The evening high tide shows a much higher pressure reading, indicating less risk during that period. The NOAA Flood Likelihood Analysis continues to show a low likelihood at 0.3%, with a significant distance to threshold, suggesting that while there is an elevated risk in the morning, overall flood potential remains moderate.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT Minor coastal flooding potential, with water levels possibly reaching up to 0.5 feet above ground level in susceptible areas.
WHEN From 7:30 AM to 9:30 AM PST and from 4:45 PM to 6:45 PM PST.
IMPACTS Low-lying coastal areas and roads may experience minor flooding, but significant property damage is unlikely.
The barometric pressure readings for both high tides on this day are well above the thresholds associated with past significant flood events, at a stable value of 1024.219970703125 hPa. This suggests that weather conditions are not conducive to severe flooding. NOAA's Flood Likelihood Analysis reports a negligible likelihood percent of 0.0%, reinforcing the forecast of minimal flood risk on 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. Consult local authorities or experts for the most current information and make decisions based on their guidance combined with these forecasts.
