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 3:00 AM to 4:00 AM PST and from 3:00 PM to 5:00 PM PST.
IMPACTS Minor flooding of low-lying areas, parks, and roads. Isolated road closures possible.
The barometric pressure during the high tides is significantly higher than the threshold associated with previous flood events, indicating less severe weather conditions and a lower likelihood of an extreme flooding event. The tide heights are also below the levels that have historically led to major flooding. Wind direction data is not provided, but given the low NOAA flood likelihood and the distance to the threshold, the risk remains categorized at a lower level.
CATEGORY 1
WHAT No significant coastal flooding expected.
WHEN High tide peaks around 4:06 AM and 4:48 PM PST.
IMPACTS No notable impacts anticipated due to high barometric pressure which suggests stable weather conditions.
The mean pressure MSL is well above the threshold that has historically led to flooding events, indicating a very low risk of flooding despite the high tide levels. The NOAA flood likelihood remains low, with no significant change in the distance to the threshold from the previous day.
CATEGORY 3
WHAT Elevated risk of coastal flooding. Potential for water levels to reach up to 1 foot above ground level in some shorelines and low-lying areas.
WHEN Highest risk near high tide times at approximately 4:36 AM and again around 9:18 AM PST.
IMPACTS Possible minor flooding of vulnerable shorelines and low-lying areas. Some roads may be temporarily inundated or closed.
The barometric pressure on this day is closer to historical flood event thresholds, particularly during the early morning high tide. The NOAA flood likelihood is still categorized as low; however, given the proximity to historical events and slightly lower pressures, there is an elevated risk compared to the previous two days. Without wind direction data, this assessment is based on available pressure and tide data compared with historical events.
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.
