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 11:30 PM to 1:30 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 associated with past Category 5 events, indicating less severe weather conditions and a lower likelihood of extreme flooding. However, the tide height is approaching levels that have been associated with minor flooding in the past. The absence of NOAA flood risk data for this period means reliance on historical comparisons and provided weather data. Given the moderate tide heights and relatively high barometric pressure, a Category 3 flood event is predicted.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT Low risk of coastal flooding. Normal tidal conditions expected.
WHEN Throughout the day.
IMPACTS No significant impacts anticipated. Regular activities can proceed with standard caution near waterways.
The barometric pressure is well above the threshold that has historically indicated severe weather conditions, suggesting a very low likelihood of flooding. The tide heights are not reaching levels that have been associated with past flood events. The wind data is not provided, but given the pressure readings and tide levels, it is unlikely to have a significant impact on flood risk for this day.
CATEGORY 3
WHAT Minor coastal flooding possible. Be alert for higher than normal tides.
WHEN From 1:30 PM to 3:30 PM PST.
IMPACTS Potential for minor overflow in the most vulnerable shorelines and low-lying areas. Some disruption to outdoor activities near the coast may occur.
On this day, the barometric pressure decreases slightly compared to Day 2 but remains relatively high, suggesting stable weather conditions with a reduced risk of severe flooding. However, the tide height is forecasted to be higher than on Day 2, which could lead to minor coastal flooding, especially in susceptible areas. The lack of NOAA flood risk data requires reliance on historical data and provided weather data for analysis. The predicted conditions are similar to those observed during previous Category 3 events; therefore, a Category 3 flood event is forecasted for this day.
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.
