Flood Watch

Redondo Beach, WA

Day 1: 2024-04-30

CATEGORY 3

WHAT Minor coastal flooding expected. Possible inundation of up to 0.5 feet above ground level near shorelines and low-lying areas.

*WHEN From 10:00 PM to 11:59 PM PST.

IMPACTS Minor flooding of low-lying areas, parks, and roads. Isolated road closures possible.

ADDITIONAL DETAILS...

The barometric pressure is significantly higher than the threshold associated with past flooding events, suggesting less severe weather conditions. However, the high tide at 23:18 with a mean pressure MSL of 1004.6599731445312 hPa, although not as low as in previous severe flood events, still warrants attention due to the proximity to the threshold. The NOAA Flood Likelihood Analysis indicates a low likelihood of flooding for this date, which aligns with the current weather data showing overcast conditions but no significant precipitation.

Day 2: 2024-05-01

CATEGORY 2

WHAT Coastal conditions are expected to be mostly stable with a very low risk of flooding.

WHEN Throughout the day.

IMPACTS No significant impacts expected. Normal tidal conditions with no immediate threat to property.

ADDITIONAL DETAILS...

The barometric pressure during the high tide at 09:06 is slightly above the critical threshold at 996.1099853515625 hPa, reducing the risk of flooding despite the high tide level. The weather forecast does not indicate significant rainfall or strong winds that could contribute to elevated water levels. NOAA's analysis supports a low likelihood of flooding for this date.

Day 3: 2024-05-02

CATEGORY 2

WHAT No significant coastal flooding expected. Normal tidal activity with no adverse impacts.

WHEN Throughout the day.

IMPACTS No anticipated disruptions or flood-related impacts in coastal areas.

ADDITIONAL DETAILS...

The barometric pressure remains well above the threshold that has historically led to flooding events, indicating stable weather conditions. The high tide levels are noted but do not coincide with any other risk factors such as low pressure or strong winds from critical directions. NOAA's Flood Likelihood Analysis continues to show a low likelihood of flooding for this date.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

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. Always follow local authorities' guidance and never drive through flooded roadways.
