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 5:00 PM to 8:00 PM PST.
IMPACTS Minor flooding of low-lying areas, parks, and roads. Isolated road closures possible.
The barometric pressure during the high tide at 5:00 PM is significantly higher than the threshold that has historically led to severe flooding events. Although the tide height is not provided, the pressure data suggests less severe weather conditions. The NOAA flood likelihood for this day is low, with a 0.0% chance of flooding, which aligns with the pressure data indicating a lower risk. However, given the high tide at 5:00 PM and the wind direction from the west, there is still a potential for minor coastal flooding.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT Coastal conditions are expected to be mostly stable with a very low risk of flooding.
WHEN The entire day presents a low risk for flooding.
IMPACTS No significant impacts are expected due to high tides or barometric pressure conditions.
The barometric pressure during both high tides is well above the threshold associated with previous flood events, indicating stable weather conditions and a very low risk of flooding. NOAA's flood likelihood remains low with no expected flooding, which supports the forecast of minimal risk on this day.
CATEGORY 3
WHAT Minor coastal flooding possible due to high tide in the evening.
WHEN From 8:00 PM to 11:00 PM PST.
IMPACTS Potential for minor inundation in susceptible areas near shorelines and low-lying regions.
The barometric pressure on this day is lower than on Day 2 but still higher than historical flood event thresholds. The NOAA flood likelihood is low; however, given that the wind direction is not provided, and based on historical data where wind from W/NW could contribute to water levels rising during high tides, there is a slight risk of minor coastal flooding in the evening.
Residents 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.
