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 6:00 PM to 11:59 PM PST.
IMPACTS Minor flooding of low-lying areas, parks, and roads. Isolated road closures possible.
The barometric pressure during the high tide at 22:30 is 1017.5 hPa, which is significantly higher than the threshold associated with previous flood events. The tide height is not provided, but based on the NOAA flood likelihood being low for the following days and the absence of a significant drop in pressure, the risk of flooding remains moderate but warrants monitoring due to the high tide at 22:30.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT Low risk of coastal flooding. Normal tidal conditions expected.
WHEN Throughout the day.
IMPACTS No significant impacts expected. Standard high tide conditions without notable flooding.
The barometric pressure readings during both high tides are above the critical threshold, with values of 1013.75 hPa and 1016.44 hPa respectively, indicating stable weather conditions. The NOAA flood likelihood remains low with no expected flooding, supporting a low-risk forecast for this day.
CATEGORY 3
WHAT Minor coastal flooding possible. Be alert for higher than normal tides.
WHEN From early morning around high tide to late evening around the second high tide.
IMPACTS Potential for minor overflow onto coastal roads and footpaths, especially during high tide times.
The barometric pressure at both high tides is above the critical threshold (1015.07 hPa and 1012.95 hPa), suggesting less severe weather conditions than those associated with major flood events. However, given that the pressure is slightly lower than on previous days and considering historical events, there is a slightly increased risk of minor coastal flooding, especially if wind direction turns out to be from W/NW as it can push more water ashore.
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.
