Redondo Beach, WA
CATEGORY 2
WHAT Minor coastal flooding expected. Possible inundation of up to 0.5 feet above ground level near shorelines and low-lying areas.
*WHEN From 3:00 AM to 5:00 AM PST and from 4:00 PM to 6:00 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 led to severe flooding events. The tide heights are not reaching the levels seen in past Category 4 or higher events, and NOAA's Flood Likelihood Analysis indicates a low likelihood of flooding with a distance to threshold well below flood levels. Wind direction data is not provided, but given the other factors, the risk remains low.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT Minor coastal flooding potential persists with slight inundation near shorelines and low-lying areas.
WHEN From 4:00 AM to 6:00 AM PST and from 5:00 PM to 7:00 PM PST.
IMPACTS Similar minor impacts as Day 1 with potential for isolated nuisance flooding.
Barometric pressure remains high, reducing the risk of significant flooding despite the occurrence of high tides. NOAA's Flood Likelihood Analysis continues to show a low likelihood of flooding for this day. Without significant deviation from the previous day's conditions, the flood category remains consistent.
CATEGORY 3
WHAT Elevated risk of coastal flooding due to higher tide levels. Inundation may affect more areas than previous days.
WHEN High tide at around 6:00 PM PST poses the highest risk.
IMPACTS Increased potential for flooding of roads, parks, and properties close to the shoreline. Precautionary measures recommended for vulnerable areas.
On this day, the barometric pressure drops closer to the threshold that has historically indicated a higher risk of flooding. The high tide at around 6:00 PM is also notably higher, which when combined with lower pressure increases the risk compared to previous days. The NOAA Flood Likelihood Analysis still indicates a low likelihood; however, given the pressure and tide data, there is an increased risk worth monitoring closely.
Residents and businesses near the shoreline 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.
