Redondo Beach, WA
CATEGORY 2
WHAT Minor coastal flooding expected due to high tide, but low likelihood of significant impact due to relatively high barometric pressure.
WHEN Highest risk near the time of high tide at 05:00 AM and 19:30 PM PST.
IMPACTS Possible minor flooding of very low-lying areas, but significant flooding is unlikely due to the barometric pressure being well above the threshold associated with major flood events.
The barometric pressure readings for the high tides on this day are 1005.2 hPa and 1011.6 hPa, respectively. These values are higher than the threshold of 992.8 hPa that is typically associated with increased flood risk. The tide levels are not reaching the critical heights observed during past Category 4 or higher events, which further reduces the likelihood of severe flooding. The weather data indicates overcast conditions with light rain, which should not significantly contribute to flood risks.
CATEGORY 1
WHAT No significant coastal flooding expected. Barometric pressure is high, reducing the likelihood of severe weather conditions.
WHEN High tide times at approximately 05:30 AM and 20:18 PM PST present no significant risk.
IMPACTS No impacts from coastal flooding are anticipated as both the barometric pressure and tide levels are not indicative of flood conditions.
The mean barometric pressure at high tides is well above the critical threshold at 1011.9 hPa and 1022.6 hPa, suggesting stable weather conditions. The NOAA Flood Likelihood Analysis indicates a low likelihood of flooding for this day, with a distance to threshold indicating that tide levels are not near the flooding mark.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT Minor coastal flooding could occur due to high tide, but overall risk remains low given the barometric pressure readings.
WHEN Monitor conditions around high tides at approximately 06:00 AM and 21:12 PM PST for potential minor flooding.
IMPACTS Low-lying areas may experience minor overflow due to high tide, but significant flooding is not expected based on current data.
The barometric pressure remains high at both high tides, recorded at 1018.4 hPa, which is not conducive to severe flooding events. The tide levels are also below those seen in historical Category 4 or higher events. Weather conditions from the forecast do not suggest heavy rainfall that could exacerbate flood risks.
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 minor flooding develop. Always follow advice from local authorities and stay informed on the latest weather updates as conditions can change.
