Flood Watch

Redondo Beach, WA

Day 1: 2024-04-25

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 4:00 AM to 5:00 AM PST and again from 1:30 PM to 2:30 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. With pressures of 999.6799926757812 hPa and 1003.9099731445312 hPa during the high tides, the risk of flooding is lower than in past Category 4 or 5 events. The NOAA Flood Likelihood Analysis also indicates a low likelihood of flooding for this date, with a likelihood percent of 0.0%. However, given the high tide levels predicted, there is still a minor risk of coastal flooding, particularly in areas that are typically susceptible to such events.

Day 2: 2024-04-26

CATEGORY 1

WHAT No significant coastal flooding expected.

WHEN Throughout the day.

IMPACTS No notable impacts anticipated.

ADDITIONAL DETAILS...

On this day, the barometric pressure readings during high tides are well above the threshold associated with significant flooding events, at 1011.4500122070312 hPa and 1006.3099975585938 hPa. The NOAA Flood Likelihood Analysis continues to indicate a low likelihood of flooding with a likelihood percent of 0.0%. The combination of these factors suggests that there is no significant risk of coastal flooding on this date.

Day 3: 2024-04-27

CATEGORY 1

WHAT No significant coastal flooding expected.

WHEN Throughout the day.

IMPACTS No notable impacts anticipated.

ADDITIONAL DETAILS...

Similar to Day 2, the barometric pressure readings for Day 3's high tides are high (1011.8699951171875 hPa and 1012.1699829101562 hPa), indicating stable weather conditions and a very low risk of flooding. The NOAA Flood Likelihood Analysis supports this assessment with a continued low likelihood percent of 0.0%. Therefore, no significant coastal flooding is expected on this date either.
