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 07:00 AM to 09:00 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, indicating less severe weather conditions and a lower likelihood of an extreme flooding event. The high tide at 07:42 with a mean pressure MSL of 1024.3299560546875 hPa is well above the threshold that has historically led to flooding, reducing the risk significantly. NOAA's Flood Likelihood Analysis indicates a low likelihood of flooding for this date, with a flood threshold distance of -1.85m, which supports the forecast of a lower category event.
CATEGORY 3
WHAT Elevated risk of coastal flooding due to higher tides. Potential for water levels to reach up to 1 foot above ground in some areas.
WHEN From 08:00 AM to 10:00 AM PST.
IMPACTS Increased risk of flooding in more vulnerable coastal areas. Some roadways may experience temporary inundation, and precautionary measures may be needed in flood-prone regions.
The barometric pressure on this day drops to near the historical threshold for Category 3 events, with a high tide at 08:30 and a mean pressure MSL of 1012.1699829101562 hPa. This pressure is closer to historical events that have resulted in flooding, which increases the risk compared to Day 1. However, it is still above the critical thresholds observed in Category 4 and 5 events. NOAA's Flood Likelihood Analysis continues to indicate a low likelihood of flooding for this date.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT Minor coastal flooding potential due to high tides, but mitigated by higher barometric pressure.
WHEN From 09:00 AM to 11:00 AM PST.
IMPACTS Low-lying areas and parks near the shoreline may experience minor overflow. No significant property damage is expected.
On this day, the barometric pressure remains high at around 1020.6500244140625 hPa during both high tides, which suggests stable weather conditions and a lower likelihood of severe flooding. The NOAA Flood Likelihood Analysis aligns with this assessment, showing a low likelihood of flooding with a significant distance to the flood threshold.
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.
