Redondo Beach, WA
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 4:00 AM to 6:00 AM PST.
IMPACTS Minor flooding of low-lying areas, parks, and roads. Isolated road closures possible.
The barometric pressure during the high tide at 5:00 AM is significantly higher than the threshold that has historically led to severe flooding events. However, the tide height is approaching levels that have previously resulted in minor flooding. The wind direction is not provided but considering the historical data, winds from the W/NW could contribute to water levels rising. The NOAA flood likelihood for this day is low, which aligns with the current assessment.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT No significant coastal flooding expected. Normal tidal fluctuations may occur.
WHEN Throughout the day.
IMPACTS Standard tidal conditions with no significant impacts anticipated.
The barometric pressure readings for both high tides are well above the threshold associated with historical flooding events, suggesting a stable atmospheric condition less conducive to storm surge and coastal flooding. The NOAA flood likelihood remains low, supporting this forecast.
CATEGORY 1
WHAT No risk of coastal flooding. Conditions are stable and typical for this time of year.
WHEN Throughout the day.
IMPACTS No impacts from coastal flooding are expected.
The barometric pressure is high during both high tides, indicating a very low risk of flooding. The NOAA flood likelihood analysis confirms this with a low likelihood percentage and a significant distance to the flood threshold. The weather data does not suggest any significant changes that would increase the risk of flooding.
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. Always follow instructions from local authorities and emergency services regarding evacuations or other safety measures.
