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 5:00 AM to 11:00 AM PST.
IMPACTS Minor flooding of low-lying areas, parks, and roads. Isolated road closures possible.
The barometric pressure during the high tide at 5:42 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 coastal flooding. The NOAA Flood Likelihood Analysis indicates a low likelihood of flooding for this date, which aligns with the absence of extreme weather conditions suggested by the current barometric pressure readings. The wind direction is not provided but would be a lesser concern given the moderate tide height and higher pressure.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT No significant coastal flooding expected.
WHEN Throughout the day.
IMPACTS No significant impacts anticipated.
The barometric pressure readings for both high tides are well above the threshold associated with historical flood events, indicating stable weather conditions and a low likelihood of flooding. The NOAA Flood Likelihood Analysis supports this assessment with a low likelihood prediction for this date. The tide heights are not reaching levels that would typically raise concerns for flooding in this region.
CATEGORY 3
WHAT Minor coastal flooding possible. Potential for water levels to reach up to 0.5 feet above ground level in susceptible areas.
WHEN From 9:00 PM to midnight PST.
IMPACTS Possible minor overflow onto coastal roads and footpaths, with little to no property damage expected.
The barometric pressure during both high tides on this day is lower than on previous days but still above the critical threshold known to cause severe flooding. The NOAA Flood Likelihood Analysis maintains a low likelihood of flooding, which suggests that while there may be some minor coastal overflow due to higher tides, significant flooding is unlikely. The wind direction could influence these conditions if from W/NW but is not specified in the provided data.
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 the most current information and make decisions based on their guidance combined with official forecasts.
