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 high tide times around 12:54 PM to 17:12 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 associated with past Category 4 and 5 events, indicating less severe weather conditions and a lower likelihood of extreme flooding. However, the tide heights are above the 16 Ft mark, which suggests a risk for flooding. The absence of NOAA flood risk data for this period means reliance on historical comparisons and provided weather data. Given the sunny weather and lack of precipitation forecasted, the risk is mitigated somewhat but still present due to the tide levels.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT Low risk of coastal flooding.
WHEN High tide times around 08:54 AM to 14:12 PM PST are periods to monitor.
IMPACTS Potential pooling of water in very low-lying areas but no significant impacts expected.
On this day, the barometric pressure readings during high tides are even higher than on Day 1, suggesting stable weather conditions and a very low likelihood of flooding. The tide levels are not forecasted to reach the thresholds associated with historical flood events. The weather is overcast with no significant precipitation expected, further reducing flood risk.
CATEGORY 3
WHAT Minor coastal flooding possible due to high tide levels.
WHEN High tide times around 00:30 AM to 10:24 AM PST should be monitored closely.
IMPACTS Possible minor flooding in susceptible coastal areas and low-lying regions near the shoreline.
The barometric pressure is notably higher than during previous flood events, which typically reduces the risk of severe flooding. However, the tide height at 10:24 AM is approaching levels that have been associated with Category 4 events in the past. Without NOAA flood risk data for guidance, this forecast relies heavily on historical data comparisons and provided weather data. The wind direction is not specified but given the other factors, minor flooding is possible.
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.
