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 4:00 AM to 5:00 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, suggesting less severe weather conditions and a lower likelihood of an extreme flooding event. The high tide at 04:42 is not expected to reach levels that have historically caused significant flooding in the area. NOAA's Flood Likelihood Analysis indicates a low likelihood of flooding for this date, with a flood threshold distance well below concerning levels.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT Minor coastal flooding potential persists with slight inundation possible in vulnerable areas.
WHEN Highest risk near the times of high tide at approximately 5:00 AM and 5:18 PM PST.
IMPACTS Similar to Day 1, expect minor and localized flooding in susceptible regions. Some disruption to daily routines is possible but not extensive.
Continued high barometric pressure readings suggest stable weather conditions, reducing the risk of severe flooding. The high tides for this day are not reaching levels that have been associated with major flood events in the past. NOAA's analysis supports a low likelihood of flooding, consistent with the pressure and tide data.
CATEGORY 3
WHAT Elevated risk of coastal flooding due to higher tide levels. Potential for water inundation up to 1 foot above ground level in some areas.
WHEN Increased risk around high tide times at approximately 6:00 AM and 6:00 PM PST.
IMPACTS Moderate flooding of coastal areas, including roads, walkways, and potentially some properties. Precautionary measures should be considered for waterfront facilities.
The barometric pressure on this day is lower than the previous days but still above the critical threshold associated with historical flood events. However, the tide height is approaching levels that have previously resulted in Category 3 flood events. The wind direction is not provided but considering the other factors, there is an elevated risk compared to the previous days. NOAA's Flood Likelihood Analysis continues to indicate a low likelihood of flooding, but the proximity to historical thresholds warrants closer monitoring.
Residents and businesses near the shore 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.
