Flood Watch

Redondo Beach, WA

Day 1: 2024-04-15

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 8:54 AM to 2:12 PM PST.

IMPACTS Minor flooding of low-lying areas, parks, and roads. Isolated road closures possible.

ADDITIONAL DETAILS...

The barometric pressure readings for the high tides on this day are significantly higher than the threshold that has historically indicated severe flooding events. However, the tide heights are above 16 feet, which suggests a risk for flooding, albeit not at the most severe level. The absence of NOAA flood risk data for this period means reliance on historical comparisons and current weather data. Given the overcast conditions and lack of significant precipitation or wind, the risk remains moderate.

Day 2: 2024-04-16

CATEGORY 2

WHAT Low risk of coastal flooding. No significant inundation expected near shorelines and low-lying areas.

WHEN From 12:30 AM to 10:24 AM PST.

IMPACTS Minimal impact with no expected flooding of low-lying areas, parks, and roads.

ADDITIONAL DETAILS...

On this day, the barometric pressure is higher than on Day 1, further reducing the likelihood of flooding despite high tide levels. The weather conditions show overcast skies with patchy rain nearby, but without significant precipitation amounts or wind speeds that would contribute to flooding risks. The pressure readings are well above the historical threshold for severe events, indicating stable weather conditions.

Day 3: 2024-04-17

CATEGORY 3

WHAT Minor coastal flooding possible. Potential for water levels to reach up to 1 foot above ground in some shorelines and low-lying areas.

WHEN From 1:30 AM to 11:54 AM PST.

IMPACTS Possible minor flooding of the most vulnerable shorelines and low-lying areas. Some park areas and roads near the coast may experience temporary inundation.

ADDITIONAL DETAILS...

The barometric pressure on this day is lower than on Day 2 but still not indicative of severe weather conditions that could lead to major flooding. The tide heights are elevated but do not reach the thresholds observed during historical Category 4 or Category 5 events. Sunny weather is expected to prevail, which reduces the risk of rain-induced flooding. However, vigilance is advised due to the combination of high tides and slightly lower pressures.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

You 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 consult with local authorities or experts for final decision-making in flood-related situations.
