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 9:00 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 that has historically led to severe flooding events. The high tide at 07:06 with a mean pressure MSL of 1005.8699951171875 hPa does not approach the critical low-pressure values seen in past Category 4 or higher events. The NOAA Flood Likelihood Analysis indicates a low likelihood of flooding at 0.3%, with the tide level well below the flood threshold. Wind direction data is not provided, but given the current conditions and comparison with historical events, significant flooding is not anticipated.
CATEGORY 1
WHAT No significant coastal flooding expected.
WHEN Throughout the day.
IMPACTS No notable impacts anticipated.
The barometric pressure is high, at around 1023.7 hPa during the high tide, which greatly reduces the risk of flooding. The NOAA Flood Likelihood Analysis supports this with a 0.0% likelihood of flooding and a significant distance to the flood threshold. Without any indication of adverse weather conditions or wind factors that could contribute to elevated water levels, the risk of flooding remains minimal.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT Minor coastal flooding possible but unlikely to cause significant impact.
WHEN From 7:00 AM to 10:00 AM PST and again from 5:00 PM to 8:00 PM PST during high tides.
IMPACTS Potential for minor pooling in low-lying coastal areas and parks, but no substantial property damage expected.
The barometric pressure on this day is forecasted to be around 1015 hPa during both high tides, which is lower than on Day 2 but still not indicative of severe weather conditions that could lead to major flooding. The NOAA Flood Likelihood Analysis continues to show a low likelihood of flooding at 0.0%, with a significant distance from the flood threshold. While there may be some water accumulation due to high tides, it is not expected to reach levels that would cause notable damage or disruption.
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.
