Flood Watch

Redondo Beach, WA

Day 1: 2024-05-04

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 01:00 AM to 03:00 AM PST.

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

ADDITIONAL DETAILS...

The barometric pressure during the high tide at 01:36 is 1002.39 hPa, which is above the threshold that historically indicates a significant risk of flooding. However, it is still lower than average pressure readings, suggesting that there is some risk, although not severe. The tide height is not provided, but given the low likelihood of flooding from NOAA's data (0.0%), it can be inferred that the tide height is not reaching levels that would cause concern for a higher category flood event. Wind direction from the W/NW could push water towards the shore but is not expected to significantly increase the flood risk.

Day 2: 2024-05-05

CATEGORY 1

WHAT No significant coastal flooding expected.

WHEN Throughout the day.

IMPACTS No significant impacts anticipated.

ADDITIONAL DETAILS...

The barometric pressure during the high tide at 02:06 is 1015.74 hPa, which is well above the threshold for concern and indicates stable weather conditions unlikely to contribute to flooding. NOAA's flood likelihood remains low at 0.0%, and the distance to the flood threshold has decreased compared to Day 1, suggesting even less risk of flooding.

Day 3: 2024-05-06

CATEGORY 1

WHAT No significant coastal flooding expected.

WHEN Throughout the day.

IMPACTS No significant impacts anticipated.

ADDITIONAL DETAILS...

The barometric pressure during the high tide at 02:36 is high at 1017.14 hPa, indicating very stable weather conditions and a very low likelihood of flooding. The pressure during the second high tide at 16:06 slightly decreases to 1015.34 hPa but remains well above concerning levels. NOAA's flood likelihood analysis continues to show a low likelihood of flooding at 0.0%.

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. Consult local authorities or experts for final decision-making in flood-related situations and stay informed on current weather conditions.
