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 03:30 AM to 04:30 AM PST and from 05:30 PM to 06:30 PM PST.
IMPACTS Minor flooding of low-lying areas, parks, and roads. Isolated road closures possible.
The barometric pressure readings for the high tides on this day are significantly higher than the threshold that has historically led to severe flooding events. The tide heights, while elevated, are not reaching the levels that have previously resulted in major flooding. The NOAA flood likelihood is low, with a 0.0% chance of flooding, which supports the assessment of a lower category event.
CATEGORY 3
WHAT Elevated risk of coastal flooding. Potential for water levels to reach up to 1 foot above ground in some areas.
WHEN From 04:00 AM to 05:00 AM PST and from 06:45 PM to 07:45 PM PST.
IMPACTS Increased risk of flooding in low-lying areas and roads near the shoreline. Some roadways may become impassable due to rising water levels.
The barometric pressure is lower on this day compared to Day 1, indicating a slightly higher risk of flooding. However, the pressure is still above the critical threshold observed in past significant flood events. The NOAA flood likelihood remains low, which suggests that while there may be some coastal flooding, it is not expected to be severe.
CATEGORY 4
WHAT Likely coastal flooding with potential for significant water level rise above ground level in vulnerable areas.
WHEN From 04:45 AM to 05:45 AM PST and from 02:30 PM to 03:30 PM PST.
IMPACTS Likely flooding of coastal areas, roads, and possibly properties. Preparations should be made for potential road closures and water reaching structures close to the shoreline.
On this day, the barometric pressure drops closer to the threshold associated with more severe flood events. The tide heights are also expected to be higher, which increases the risk of flooding when combined with the lower pressure readings. The wind direction is not provided but considering the other factors, there is a heightened risk compared to the previous days.
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.
