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 12:00 AM to 11:59 PM PST.
IMPACTS Minor flooding of low-lying areas, parks, and roads. Isolated road closures possible.
The barometric pressure is significantly higher than the threshold associated with previous flood events, suggesting less severe weather conditions. The high tide at 01:00 with a mean pressure MSL of 1004.9600219726562 hPa does not approach the critical threshold of 992.8 hPa that has historically indicated a higher risk of flooding. NOAA's Flood Likelihood Analysis indicates a low likelihood of flooding for this day, with a flood threshold distance of -1.98m, which supports the forecast of a lower category event.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT Minimal risk of coastal flooding. No significant inundation expected.
WHEN From 12:00 AM to 11:59 PM PST.
IMPACTS No significant impacts expected. Normal high tide conditions with no substantial overflow.
The barometric pressure remains stable and above the critical threshold, with the high tide at 01:36 showing a mean pressure MSL of 1005.5700073242188 hPa. The NOAA Flood Likelihood Analysis continues to indicate a low likelihood of flooding, with no significant change in the flood threshold distance (-1.78m). The wind direction is not from the W/NW, which historically has contributed to flooding risks, further reducing concerns for this day.
CATEGORY 3
WHAT Elevated risk of coastal flooding due to higher tides. Potential for water levels to reach up to 1 foot above ground level in some areas.
WHEN Highest risk near the time of high tide at 02:06 PM PST.
IMPACTS Possible minor property damage in very low-lying areas. Some roads may be temporarily impassable due to water overflow.
On this day, the barometric pressure is forecasted to be lower than on previous days but still above the critical threshold associated with major flood events (high tide at 15:00 with a mean pressure MSL of 1014.7899780273438 hPa). However, NOAA's Flood Likelihood Analysis still indicates a low likelihood of flooding, with a distance to the flood threshold of -1.44m, which is closer than previous days but not within immediate concern levels. The wind direction data is not provided; however, unless it is from W/NW at significant speeds, it is unlikely to majorly impact the flood potential.
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. Consult local authorities or experts for final decision-making in flood-related situations and adhere to any advisories or evacuation orders that may be issued.
