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 6:00 PM to 10:00 PM PST.
IMPACTS Minor flooding of low-lying areas, parks, and roads. Isolated road closures possible.
The barometric pressure is significantly higher than the threshold associated with past flooding events, suggesting less severe weather conditions. The high tide at 21:36 with a mean pressure MSL of 1004.8300170898438 hPa does not approach the critical low-pressure threshold that has historically led to flooding. The NOAA Flood Likelihood Analysis indicates a low likelihood of flooding for this date, with a flood threshold distance of -1.8m, which supports the forecast of only minor coastal flooding.
CATEGORY 3
WHAT Elevated risk of coastal flooding. Potential for up to 1 foot of inundation above ground level in some shorelines and low-lying areas.
WHEN From 6:00 AM to 9:00 AM PST.
IMPACTS Moderate flooding of low-lying areas, parks, and roads with some road closures expected.
The barometric pressure at the time of high tide in the morning is closer to the threshold that has been associated with past flood events (996.6500244140625 hPa). Although still not as low as the most severe events, it warrants attention due to its proximity to the threshold. The NOAA Flood Likelihood Analysis maintains a low likelihood rating for this date, but given the slightly lower pressure and historical data, there is an elevated risk compared to Day 1.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT Minor coastal flooding possible. Inundation up to 0.5 feet above ground level may occur near shorelines and low-lying areas.
WHEN From 11:00 AM to 2:00 PM PST.
IMPACTS Minor flooding of low-lying areas, parks, and roads. Isolated road closures may occur.
The barometric pressure remains high (1012.4299926757812 hPa) during both high tides on this day, indicating less severe weather conditions and a lower likelihood of significant flooding. The NOAA Flood Likelihood Analysis continues to show a low likelihood of flooding with a significant distance from the flood threshold, supporting the forecast for only minor coastal flooding risks on 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 evacuation orders or safety instructions provided by emergency services.
