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 9:00 AM to 3:00 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 thresholds associated with past flooding events, indicating less severe weather conditions and a lower likelihood of major flooding. The tide heights are not reaching the levels seen in historical Category 4 or 5 events, and NOAA's Flood Likelihood Analysis indicates a low likelihood of flooding with a 0.0% chance. Wind direction data is not provided, but given the other factors, the risk remains categorized at a lower level.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT Slight risk of coastal flooding near high tide times. Minimal impact expected.
WHEN Around high tide times, particularly in the late morning and late afternoon.
IMPACTS Potential for minor pooling of water in susceptible coastal areas and low-lying streets.
The mean pressure MSL during high tides is above the threshold that typically indicates severe weather conditions that could lead to flooding. With no indication from NOAA's Flood Likelihood Analysis of an increased risk and tide heights not exceeding critical historical levels, the flood category remains low. The absence of wind data limits a more detailed assessment, but current factors suggest minimal flood risk.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT Low-level coastal flood potential due to high tides, with no significant weather concerns indicated by barometric pressure readings.
WHEN High tide periods may see minor water rise, especially around midday.
IMPACTS Low-lying coastal areas may experience minor water accumulation; no significant disruptions expected.
Barometric pressure remains well above the critical threshold seen in past Category 4 or higher events, suggesting stable weather conditions. Tide levels are elevated but not to the extent seen in previous significant flood events. NOAA's Flood Likelihood Analysis continues to show a low likelihood of flooding at 0.0%. Without wind data for further context, the analysis maintains a low flood category rating based on available information.
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.
