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 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM 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. With pressures well above 1011 hPa and no indication from NOAA's Flood Likelihood Analysis of an impending flood event, the risk remains low despite the high tide. However, residents should remain vigilant as conditions can change.
CATEGORY 1
WHAT No significant coastal flooding expected.
WHEN Throughout the day.
IMPACTS No notable impacts anticipated due to high barometric pressure and low tide heights relative to flood thresholds.
The weather data for this day does not suggest any significant risk of flooding. The barometric pressure is not within the range that typically indicates severe weather conditions that could lead to flooding. Additionally, NOAA's Flood Likelihood Analysis reports a low likelihood of flooding with a significant distance to the flood threshold.
CATEGORY 3
WHAT Elevated risk of coastal flooding. Potential for water levels to reach up to 1 foot above ground in some areas near shorelines and low-lying regions.
WHEN Highest risk around high tides, particularly at 12:54 AM and 12:54 PM PST.
IMPACTS Possible minor property damage in vulnerable areas. Some roads may be temporarily impassable due to water coverage.
On this day, the barometric pressure drops closer to the threshold associated with increased flood risk, although it remains above the critical level observed in past significant flood events. The high tide at nearly midnight and again in the afternoon presents a situation where water levels could rise more than usual, but still not reach the extremes seen in historical Category 4 or higher events. The NOAA Flood Likelihood Analysis continues to report a low likelihood of flooding, which supports the assessment that while there is an elevated risk compared to Day 2, it is not expected to be severe.
Residents 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.
