Redondo Beach, WA
CATEGORY 3
WHAT Minor coastal flooding expected. Possible inundation of up to 1 foot above ground level near shorelines and low-lying areas.
*WHEN From 2:00 AM to 3:00 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. However, the tide height is approaching levels that have previously resulted in minor coastal flooding. The wind direction is not provided, but given the historical data, winds from the W/NW could exacerbate the flood risk. NOAA's Flood Likelihood Analysis indicates a low likelihood of flooding for this date, which aligns with the absence of extreme weather indicators such as low barometric pressure or very high tide levels.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT Coastal conditions are expected to be mostly stable with a very low risk of flooding.
WHEN Throughout the day.
IMPACTS No significant impacts expected. Normal tidal conditions with no anticipated disruption.
The barometric pressure is relatively high and increasing, which suggests stable weather conditions and a reduced risk of flooding. The tide height is not reaching levels associated with historical flood events. NOAA's Flood Likelihood Analysis continues to indicate a low likelihood of flooding for this date.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT No significant coastal flooding expected. Normal tidal activity with no anticipated overflow.
WHEN Throughout the day.
IMPACTS No impacts due to flooding are anticipated. Regular monitoring of tides advised.
Barometric pressure remains high on this day, further reducing any risk of severe weather conditions that could lead to flooding. Tide heights are not indicative of past flood events, and NOAA's Flood Likelihood Analysis supports a low likelihood of flooding. The absence of critical factors such as low barometric pressure and high tide levels suggests minimal flood 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.
