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 readings for the high tides on this day are significantly higher than the threshold that has historically indicated severe flooding events. The tide heights, while elevated, do not reach the levels seen in past Category 4 or higher events. Wind direction data is not provided, but given the sunny weather conditions and lack of significant precipitation, the risk of flooding is deemed lower. The NOAA flood likelihood for this day is also low, with a 0.0% chance of flooding indicated.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT No significant coastal flooding expected.
WHEN Throughout the day.
IMPACTS No significant impacts expected due to high tides or coastal flooding.
The barometric pressure remains stable and relatively high, reducing the likelihood of severe weather conditions that could lead to flooding. The tide levels are not forecasted to reach concerning heights, and the NOAA flood likelihood remains low at 0.0%. Without any indicators of severe weather or high tides that could lead to flooding, the risk remains minimal.
CATEGORY 3
WHAT Minor coastal flooding possible due to high tide levels and lower barometric pressure.
WHEN From 7:00 PM to midnight PST.
IMPACTS Potential for minor flooding in susceptible areas near the shoreline. Low-lying roads and paths may experience temporary inundation.
On this day, the barometric pressure drops closer to the threshold that has historically been associated with increased flood risk. The high tide levels are also elevated, although they do not surpass the critical levels observed in Category 4 or higher events. The wind direction is not specified, but given the lower barometric pressure and higher tides, there is an increased risk of minor coastal flooding compared to the previous days. It is worth noting that while NOAA's flood likelihood remains low at 0.0%, the combination of factors warrants a slightly higher level of vigilance.
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. Stay informed about local tide schedules and be cautious when traveling near the coast during high tide periods. Consult with local authorities or experts for final decision-making in flood-related situations.
