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 7:48 AM to 1:42 PM 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 heights are also below the levels that have historically led to severe flooding. However, residents should remain vigilant and monitor updates as conditions can change.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT Minor coastal flooding potential persists with similar conditions as the previous day.
WHEN High tide peaks at midnight and again at approximately 2:54 PM PST.
IMPACTS Similar to Day 1, expect minor and localized flooding in susceptible areas. The community should stay informed on the latest weather updates.
The barometric pressure remains stable and above critical thresholds, suggesting a continued pattern of relatively calm weather. Tide levels are elevated but not reaching the critical marks set by historical Category 4 or 5 events. The combination of these factors leads to a continued low risk of significant flooding.
CATEGORY 3
WHAT Increased risk of coastal flooding due to higher tide levels. Inundation may affect more areas than the previous days.
WHEN Highest risk near the high tide at 1:18 AM and again around mid-morning at 10:48 AM PST.
IMPACTS Potential for moderate flooding of more extensive areas including roads, parks, and possibly residential properties close to the shoreline.
On this day, the tide levels are approaching those seen in historical Category 4 events, although the barometric pressure is still relatively high. This suggests that while there is an increased risk compared to the previous days, the absence of a significant drop in pressure likely reduces the severity of potential flooding. Nonetheless, given the higher tides, there is a need for increased caution.
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 advisories or evacuation orders that may be issued.
