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 6:00 AM 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 threshold associated with past flooding events, indicating less severe weather conditions and a lower likelihood of major flooding. The tide height is not reaching the levels seen in historical Category 4 or higher events, which further reduces the risk. However, residents should remain vigilant as localized conditions may vary.
CATEGORY 3
WHAT Elevated risk of coastal flooding. Potential for water levels to reach up to 1 foot above ground in some areas.
WHEN From 5:00 PM to 7:00 PM PST.
IMPACTS Moderate flooding of coastal areas, with some roads potentially becoming impassable. Property damage is unlikely but cannot be ruled out in the most vulnerable locations.
The barometric pressure is lower than on Day 1 but still above the critical threshold associated with severe flooding events. The tide height is considerable, and while it does not surpass historical Category 4 events, it warrants close monitoring due to its proximity to those levels. The wind direction is not provided, but based on available data, the risk is elevated compared to Day 1.
CATEGORY 5
WHAT High likelihood of significant coastal flooding. Expect inundation of more than 1 foot above ground level in many shorelines and low-lying areas.
WHEN From early morning around 5:00 AM continuing through late evening.
IMPACTS Significant flooding likely with potential for property damage, especially in low-lying areas and near the shoreline. Road closures and disruptions to daily activities are probable.
The barometric pressure has dropped significantly on this day, reaching levels that are comparable to historical Category 5 events. This factor greatly increases the risk of severe weather conditions and potential flooding. The tide height is also at a level that poses a serious threat when combined with such low pressure. Residents should prepare for likely flooding and heed local warnings.
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 and adhere to any evacuation orders or safety instructions provided by emergency services.
