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 2:00 PM to 7:30 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 that has historically indicated severe flooding events. With pressures well above 1015 hPa and no indication from NOAA's Flood Likelihood Analysis of an impending flood event, the risk remains low. However, the tide height nearing 17 feet suggests some potential for minor coastal flooding, especially in susceptible areas.
CATEGORY 1
WHAT No significant coastal flooding expected.
WHEN Throughout the day.
IMPACTS No notable impacts anticipated.
The barometric pressure is high, and the tide levels are not reaching the thresholds that have been associated with past flooding events. NOAA's Flood Likelihood Analysis indicates a low likelihood of flooding, with a significant distance to the flood threshold. The weather conditions appear stable, and no immediate flood risks are present.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT Minor coastal flooding possible but unlikely to cause significant impact.
WHEN Highest risk near the time of high tide at approximately 5:00 PM PST.
IMPACTS Potential for minor pooling in low-lying coastal areas and roads but not expected to cause damage.
On this day, the barometric pressure is slightly lower than on previous days but still well above the critical threshold associated with major flooding events. The tide height is also lower than the levels seen during significant historical floods. While there is always a degree of uncertainty, the data does not suggest a high risk of flooding. Wind direction and speed are not provided but would be considered if they were available and indicated a risk.
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.
