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 2:00 AM to 5:00 AM PST and again from 4:00 PM to 7:00 PM PST.
IMPACTS Minor flooding of low-lying areas, parks, and roads. Isolated road closures possible.
The barometric pressure during the high tides of Day 1 is significantly higher than the threshold that has historically led to severe flooding events. However, the tide height is approaching levels that have previously caused minor flooding. The wind direction is not specified for this day, but given the historical data, winds from the W/NW could increase the risk. The NOAA flood likelihood is low, which aligns with the absence of extreme weather indicators.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT No significant coastal flooding expected. Normal tidal conditions with no substantial impact.
WHEN Throughout the day, particularly during high tide events.
IMPACTS Standard tidal fluctuations with no anticipated disruption to daily activities or property.
On Day 2, the barometric pressure during high tide is well above the critical threshold associated with historical flooding events in Redondo Beach, WA. The tide height does not reach levels that have previously resulted in flooding. The NOAA flood likelihood remains low, suggesting minimal risk for this day.
CATEGORY 3
WHAT Minor coastal flooding possible. Potential for water levels to reach up to 1 foot above ground in susceptible areas.
*WHEN From late afternoon into early evening, peaking around the high tide at 6:54 PM PST.
IMPACTS Possible minor overflow onto coastal roads and low-lying properties. Some public areas near the shore may be temporarily affected.
The barometric pressure on Day 3 is lower than on previous days but still not within the range that has historically led to severe flooding events. The tide height is significant but does not surpass the threshold of past Category 4 or higher events. Wind direction data is not provided; however, if winds were from W/NW as in past events, they could contribute to increased water levels along the coast. NOAA's flood likelihood remains low for this day.
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.
