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 10:00 AM to 11:00 AM 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 events. However, the tide height is approaching levels that have previously resulted in minor coastal flooding. The absence of NOAA flood risk data for this period means reliance on historical comparisons and current weather data, which suggest a Category 3 risk due to the combination of overcast weather, light drizzle, and high tide levels.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT Low risk of coastal flooding. Normal tidal conditions expected.
WHEN Throughout the day.
IMPACTS No significant impacts expected. Usual tidal patterns with no immediate threat of flooding.
The barometric pressure is stable and relatively high, reducing the likelihood of severe weather conditions that could lead to flooding. The tide heights are not reaching the critical levels observed in past Category 4 or higher events. Clear skies and moderate wind speeds further decrease the risk of flooding.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT Low risk of coastal flooding. Normal tidal conditions expected.
WHEN Throughout the day.
IMPACTS No significant impacts expected. Usual tidal patterns with no immediate threat of flooding.
Similar to Day 2, the barometric pressure remains high, and tide heights are not indicative of major flood risks. The weather conditions are favorable with sunny skies, and there is no indication from NOAA regarding an increased likelihood of flooding. The wind direction is not contributing to an increased risk of water being pushed toward the shore.
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.
