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 6:00 PM to 11:59 PM PST.
IMPACTS Minor flooding of low-lying areas, parks, and roads. Isolated road closures possible.
The barometric pressure during the high tide at 7:24 PM is forecasted to be 997.9 hPa, which is lower than the threshold that significantly increases flood likelihood but still above the critical levels observed in historical Category 4 and 5 events. The tide height is not expected to reach the levels seen in major flood events, and NOAA's Flood Likelihood Analysis indicates a low likelihood of flooding for this date. However, given the lower barometric pressure and high tide at 7:24 PM, there is a potential for minor coastal flooding, especially if winds are from the W/NW as they can push more water towards the shore.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT No significant coastal flooding expected. Normal tidal conditions with no substantial impact.
WHEN Throughout the day.
IMPACTS No significant impacts expected. Regular tidal conditions will prevail without causing notable flooding issues.
The barometric pressure during both high tides is well above the threshold that indicates a risk of flooding, with readings of 1018.99 hPa and 1017.67 hPa respectively. These pressures are indicative of more stable weather conditions compared to previous flood events. The NOAA Flood Likelihood Analysis continues to show a low likelihood of flooding for this date, and tide heights are not reaching levels associated with historical flood events.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT No significant coastal flooding expected. Normal tidal conditions with no substantial impact.
WHEN Throughout the day.
IMPACTS No significant impacts expected. Regular tidal conditions will prevail without causing notable flooding issues.
Similar to Day 2, the barometric pressure remains high during both high tides at a consistent value of 1012.41 hPa, which does not suggest severe weather conditions that could lead to flooding. The NOAA Flood Likelihood Analysis supports this with a continued low likelihood of flooding for this date. The tide heights are also not indicative of flood conditions based on historical data comparisons.
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. Remember that weather conditions can change rapidly, so stay informed and be ready to act if necessary.
