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 5:00 AM to 8:00 AM PST and from 7:00 PM to 10:00 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 led to severe flooding events. However, the tide height is approaching levels that have previously resulted in minor coastal flooding. The NOAA flood likelihood is low, which reduces the overall risk. Wind direction data is not provided, but based on historical events, winds from the W/NW could increase the risk if they were present.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT Low risk of coastal flooding. No significant inundation expected near shorelines and low-lying areas.
WHEN The highest risk period is around the high tide times, but the risk remains low throughout the day.
IMPACTS No significant impacts expected. Normal tidal fluctuations with no anticipated disruption.
On this day, both high tide barometric pressure readings are well above the threshold associated with previous flood events, indicating stable weather conditions and a lower likelihood of flooding. The NOAA flood likelihood remains low, supporting this assessment. Without wind direction data, it's assumed that there is no significant exacerbating factor from wind-driven waves.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT Low risk of coastal flooding. No significant inundation expected near shorelines and low-lying areas.
WHEN The highest risk period is around the high tide times, but the risk remains low throughout the day.
IMPACTS No significant impacts expected. Normal tidal fluctuations with no anticipated disruption.
Similar to Day 2, the barometric pressure readings for Day 3's high tides are above critical thresholds, suggesting minimal risk of severe weather and flooding. The NOAA flood likelihood data indicates a low chance of flooding, which aligns with the pressure data to suggest a low risk of flooding for this day as well.
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.
