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 that has historically indicated severe flooding (992.8 hPa). The highest tide level is also below the historical flooding events that caused major property damage. However, the tide height is still considerable when compared to past events, and thus warrants a Category 3 rating, indicating a situation that should be monitored but is unlikely to cause flood damage.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT Low risk of coastal flooding. Normal tidal conditions expected.
WHEN High tide times around 08:54 AM to 14:12 PM PST are not expected to pose significant risks.
IMPACTS No significant impacts expected. Standard precautions for typical high tide events should be sufficient.
The barometric pressure is forecasted to be above the threshold associated with significant flooding events, and the tide levels are not reaching heights that have historically resulted in flooding. The weather conditions appear stable and do not suggest a heightened risk of flooding.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT Low risk of coastal flooding. Normal tidal conditions expected.
WHEN High tide times around 00:30 AM to 10:24 AM PST are not expected to pose significant risks.
IMPACTS No significant impacts expected. Standard precautions for typical high tide events should be sufficient.
Similar to Day 2, the barometric pressure remains well above the threshold for major flood events, and the tide levels are within a normal range that does not typically lead to flooding in this region. The wind direction and speed do not indicate a significant storm surge that could elevate the risk of flooding.
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. Always follow the advice of local authorities regarding flood safety and never drive through flooded roadways.
