Flood Watch

Redondo Beach, WA

Day 1: 2024-03-18

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 12:00 AM to 11:59 PM PST.

IMPACTS Minor flooding of low-lying areas, parks, and roads. Isolated road closures possible.

ADDITIONAL DETAILS...

The barometric pressure readings for the high tides on this day are significantly higher than the threshold that has historically indicated severe flooding events. With pressures well above 1018 hPa and no indication from NOAA's Flood Likelihood Analysis of an impending flood event, the risk remains low despite the high tide levels. Wind direction is not provided, but given the clear weather conditions and low humidity, it is unlikely to contribute significantly to flood risks.

Day 2: 2024-03-19

CATEGORY 2

WHAT Minimal risk of coastal flooding. No significant inundation expected.

WHEN From 12:00 AM to 11:59 PM PST.

IMPACTS No significant impacts anticipated. Normal tidal conditions with standard high tide levels.

ADDITIONAL DETAILS...

Similar to Day 1, the barometric pressure remains high, reducing the likelihood of a severe weather event that could lead to flooding. The NOAA Flood Likelihood Analysis continues to show a low likelihood of flooding, with no significant change in tide levels or other weather conditions that would suggest an increased risk.

Day 3: 2024-03-20

CATEGORY 2

WHAT Minimal risk of coastal flooding. No significant inundation expected.

WHEN From 12:00 AM to 11:59 PM PST.

IMPACTS No significant impacts anticipated. Normal tidal conditions with standard high tide levels.

ADDITIONAL DETAILS...

On Day 3, the barometric pressure is still well above the historical threshold for severe flooding events, and the NOAA Flood Likelihood Analysis indicates a low likelihood of flooding. The tide levels are not reaching a point of concern that would typically lead to a flood event in this region.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

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.
