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 6:00 AM to 12:00 PM PST.
IMPACTS Minor flooding of low-lying areas, parks, and roads. Isolated road closures possible.
The barometric pressure is significantly higher than the threshold associated with past Category 5 events, suggesting less severe weather conditions. However, the tide height is above 16 feet, which increases the risk of coastal flooding. The wind direction is northward, which may not significantly contribute to water being pushed towards the coast. No NOAA flood risk data is available for this period.
CATEGORY 3
WHAT Elevated risk of minor coastal flooding, particularly during high tide.
WHEN Peak risk near the high tide at 12:54 PM PST.
IMPACTS Potential for minor inundation in susceptible areas, with some overflow onto coastal roads and footpaths.
The barometric pressure is lower than on Day 1 but still above the critical threshold seen in historical Category 5 events. The tide height is approaching levels that have previously been associated with Category 3 events. Wind conditions are not provided but would need to be factored in if available. No NOAA flood risk data is available for this period.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT Low risk of coastal flooding despite high tides.
WHEN Lowest risk throughout the day due to higher barometric pressure.
IMPACTS No significant impacts expected barring unforeseen changes in weather conditions.
The barometric pressure remains stable and relatively high, reducing the likelihood of severe weather conditions that could lead to flooding. The tide height does not reach the threshold associated with major flooding events in the historical data. Wind conditions are not provided but are a less influential factor given the current barometric pressure and tide levels. No NOAA flood risk data is available for this period.
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 regarding flood-related situations.
