Redondo Beach, WA
CATEGORY 3
WHAT Minor coastal flooding expected. Possible inundation of up to 0.5 feet above ground level near shorelines and low-lying areas.
*WHEN From 5:00 AM to 8:00 AM PST and from 7:00 PM to 10:00 PM PST.
IMPACTS Minor flooding of low-lying areas, parks, and roads. Isolated road closures possible.
The barometric pressure during the high tides is above the threshold that has historically led to significant flooding events, suggesting a lower risk of severe flooding. However, the tide levels are approaching heights that have been associated with minor coastal flooding in the past. The wind direction is not provided, but given the historical data, winds from the W/NW could increase the risk. The NOAA flood likelihood for this date is low, which supports the forecast of a Category 3 event.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT Coastal conditions are expected to be relatively stable with a very low likelihood of flooding.
WHEN The risk remains low throughout the day.
IMPACTS No significant impacts expected. Normal tidal conditions with no anticipated disruption.
The barometric pressure is well above the threshold associated with previous flood events, indicating stable weather conditions and a very low risk of flooding. Tide levels are not reaching heights that have historically resulted in flooding. The NOAA flood likelihood remains low, which aligns with the Category 2 forecast.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT No significant coastal flooding expected. Normal tidal activity with no anticipated overflow.
WHEN The risk remains low throughout the day.
IMPACTS No significant impacts expected. Normal tidal conditions with no anticipated disruption.
Similar to Day 2, the barometric pressure is high and does not indicate severe weather that could lead to flooding. Tide levels are consistent with normal conditions and do not pose a threat of flooding. The NOAA flood likelihood continues to be low, supporting a Category 2 forecast for this day as well.
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.
