Redondo Beach, WA
CATEGORY 2
WHAT Minor coastal flooding expected due to high tides, although current barometric pressure suggests less severe weather conditions. Possible inundation of low-lying areas near shorelines.
*WHEN From 3:30 AM to 5:00 AM PST and again from 2:00 PM to 3:30 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 well above the threshold that has historically indicated severe flooding events. The tide heights are not reaching the levels seen in past Category 4 or higher events, and NOAA's Flood Likelihood Analysis indicates a low likelihood of flooding. However, residents should remain vigilant during high tide times.
CATEGORY 3
WHAT Elevated risk of coastal flooding due to a combination of high tides and lower barometric pressure. Potential for water inundation in more vulnerable areas.
WHEN From 4:00 AM to 5:30 AM PST and again from 3:00 PM to 4:30 PM PST.
IMPACTS Increased risk of flooding in low-lying areas and roads near the shoreline. Some property damage is possible, and residents should be prepared for potential road closures.
The barometric pressure is lower on this day, particularly during the morning high tide, which is closer to the threshold that indicates a higher risk of flooding. The tide height is still not as extreme as the most severe historical events, but caution is advised due to the lower pressure. NOAA's Flood Likelihood Analysis continues to show a low likelihood of flooding, but this should be monitored closely due to changing weather conditions.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT Minor coastal flooding potential persists with high tides expected, but barometric pressure remains relatively stable, suggesting less severe weather conditions.
WHEN From 4:15 AM to 5:45 AM PST and again from 3:45 PM to 5:15 PM PST.
IMPACTS Similar to Day 1, minor flooding of parks, walkways, and roads near the coast may occur. Isolated road closures are possible but less likely than on Day 2.
Barometric pressure readings for this day are consistent with those from Day 1, indicating a lower risk of severe weather and flooding despite high tides. The NOAA Flood Likelihood Analysis supports this with a continued low likelihood of flooding. Residents should still be cautious during high tide periods but can expect less impact than on Day 2.
Residents 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.
