Flood Watch

Redondo Beach, WA

Day 1: 2024-05-05

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 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 02:06 is 1013.6500244140625 hPa, which is higher than the threshold that indicates a severe flood risk. The tide height is not provided, but based on the NOAA flood likelihood being low at 0.0% and the distance to the threshold being -1.44m, it suggests that the tide is not exceptionally high. The wind direction is not specified for this day, but given the other factors, the risk remains categorized as minor.

Day 2: 2024-05-06

CATEGORY 2

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

WHEN Throughout the day.

IMPACTS No significant impacts expected. Normal tidal conditions likely.

ADDITIONAL DETAILS...

The barometric pressure during the high tide at 02:36 is 1018.1300048828125 hPa, indicating stable weather conditions and a lower likelihood of flooding. The NOAA flood likelihood remains low at 0.0%, with a distance to the threshold of -1.33m, suggesting that the tide levels are not conducive to flooding. Without significant wind impact from critical directions, the risk is minimal.

Day 3: 2024-05-07

CATEGORY 3

WHAT Minor coastal flooding possible due to higher tide levels.

WHEN From 02:00 AM to 04:00 AM PST and potentially around 05:00 PM PST.

IMPACTS Potential for minor overflow in very low-lying areas near the shore, with water encroachment in typically vulnerable spots.

ADDITIONAL DETAILS...

On this day, the barometric pressure during high tides is slightly lower than on previous days but still above critical thresholds (1020.4199829101562 hPa in the morning and 1017.7999877929688 hPa in the evening). The NOAA flood likelihood data indicates a low chance of flooding; however, it's worth noting that the distance to threshold has decreased compared to previous days (-1.22m), suggesting slightly higher tides. Without specific wind data, we rely on barometric pressure and NOAA's assessment to maintain a cautious outlook.

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 regarding safety measures and potential evacuation plans.
