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 4:00 AM to 6:00 AM PST and from 5:00 PM to 7:00 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. However, the tide heights are approaching levels that have been associated with minor flooding in the past. The wind direction is not specified for this day, but given the historical data, winds from the W/NW could contribute to water levels rising. The NOAA flood likelihood is low, which aligns with the predicted Category 3 event.
CATEGORY 3
WHAT Potential for minor coastal flooding, particularly during high tide times.
WHEN From approximately 5:00 AM to 7:00 AM PST and again around 7:30 PM to 9:30 PM PST.
IMPACTS Low-lying areas may experience minor flooding, with water potentially encroaching on roads and into parks near the shoreline.
The barometric pressure during high tides is lower on this day compared to Day 1, nearing the threshold that increases flood risk. However, it remains above the critical threshold observed in past significant flood events. The NOAA flood likelihood remains low, suggesting a limited risk of flooding despite the lower pressure readings.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT Low risk of coastal flooding despite high tides.
WHEN High tide peaks around 6:30 AM and again at approximately 7:00 PM PST.
IMPACTS Minimal impact expected due to high barometric pressure mitigating flood risks despite high tide levels.
On this day, the barometric pressure at high tide times is slightly lower than on Day 1 but still well above the threshold associated with significant flooding events. The NOAA flood likelihood data indicates a very low chance of flooding, which supports a Category 2 prediction for this day.
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.
