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 forecasted to be above the threshold associated with significant flooding events, suggesting less severe weather conditions. However, the high tide at 07:00 with a mean pressure MSL of 1003.1099853515625 hPa, while not as low as historical Category 4 or 5 events, still presents a risk for minor coastal flooding, especially in conjunction with the predicted tide height of over 18 feet during this time.
CATEGORY 3
WHAT Elevated risk of coastal flooding due to high tide. Inundation likely in very low-lying areas.
WHEN Peak risk near the high tide at 12:54 PM PST.
IMPACTS Potential for water encroachment into low-lying coastal roads and properties. Some disruption to daily routines possible.
The barometric pressure is lower on this day, nearing the threshold that has historically led to more significant flooding events. The high tide at 12:54 with a mean pressure MSL of 1000.8400268554688 hPa is closer to Category 4 historical data but still not as severe due to the higher barometric pressure. The risk of flooding is elevated but not expected to cause major property damage.
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. Normal tidal conditions may cause minor pooling in typical trouble spots.
On this day, the barometric pressure remains relatively high (1002.5999755859375 hPa), which reduces the likelihood of severe weather conditions that could lead to flooding. The tide levels are also lower compared to the previous days, further decreasing the flood risk.
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 and adhere to any advisories or evacuation orders that may be issued.
