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 High risk during high tide times, particularly around 04:30 AM and 16:00 PM PST.
IMPACTS Potential for minor flooding of low-lying areas, parks, and roads. Isolated road closures possible, especially if rainfall increases.
The barometric pressure readings for the high tides on this day are significantly higher than the threshold that has historically indicated severe flooding events. The pressure readings of 1014.1900024414062 hPa and 1026.56005859375 hPa during the high tides are well above the critical threshold of 992.8 hPa. This suggests that while the tide levels are elevated, the risk of significant flooding is reduced due to the stabilizing effect of higher atmospheric pressure. NOAA's Flood Likelihood Analysis indicates a low likelihood of flooding for this date, which aligns with the pressure data suggesting a lower risk.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT Continued minor coastal flooding risk due to persistent high tides. Weather conditions remain less severe with no immediate threat of significant flooding.
WHEN High risk around the high tide time at approximately 04:42 AM PST.
IMPACTS Similar to Day 1, with potential minor overflow into coastal and low-lying areas. The impact is expected to be consistent with the previous day's forecast.
The barometric pressure on Day 2 remains high at 1025.6099853515625 hPa during the predicted high tide, which is not indicative of severe weather that could lead to major flooding events. The absence of a significant drop in pressure means that while water levels may be elevated, the overall flood risk remains moderate without additional exacerbating weather factors.
CATEGORY 3
WHAT Slight increase in coastal flooding risk due to a combination of high tides and slightly lower barometric pressure compared to previous days.
WHEN High risk during high tide times, particularly around 05:00 AM and again at approximately 17:18 PM PST.
IMPACTS Increased potential for minor to moderate flooding in susceptible coastal areas and low-lying regions. Some property damage is possible if preventative measures are not taken.
On Day 3, the barometric pressure readings during high tides are slightly lower at 1021.8400268554688 hPa and 1021.0599975585938 hPa, respectively. Although these readings are still above the critical threshold associated with severe flooding events, they indicate a trend towards less stable weather conditions that could contribute to an increased flood risk when combined with high tide levels. NOAA's Flood Likelihood Analysis continues to show a low likelihood of flooding; however, given the slight decrease in pressure and consistent high tides, there is a marginally higher risk compared to previous days.
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.
