Flood Watch

Redondo Beach, WA

Day 1: 2024-04-11

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 5:30 AM to 8:00 AM PST and from 7:00 PM to 9:30 PM PST.

IMPACTS Minor flooding of low-lying areas, parks, and roads. Isolated road closures possible.

ADDITIONAL DETAILS...

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 height is approaching levels that have previously caused minor flooding. The wind direction is not provided, but given the other factors, the risk remains moderate.

Day 2: 2024-04-12

CATEGORY 2

WHAT Low risk of coastal flooding.

WHEN The highest risk period is not expected due to higher barometric pressure and lower tide levels compared to historical flood events.

IMPACTS No significant impacts expected. Normal tidal conditions with no anticipated disruption.

ADDITIONAL DETAILS...

The barometric pressure is well above the threshold associated with previous flooding events, and the tide levels are not reaching heights that would typically cause concern. The NOAA flood likelihood remains low, which supports the assessment of a reduced risk on this day.

Day 3: 2024-04-13

CATEGORY 2

WHAT Low risk of coastal flooding.

WHEN No specific high-risk time frame identified due to favorable conditions.

IMPACTS No significant impacts expected. Normal tidal conditions with no anticipated disruption.

ADDITIONAL DETAILS...

Similar to Day 2, the barometric pressure is high, and tide levels are not indicative of a significant flood risk. The NOAA flood likelihood data also suggests a low probability of flooding, which aligns with the other data points to suggest minimal risk on this day.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

You 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. Always consult with local authorities or experts for final decision-making in flood-related situations.
