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 01:00 AM to 03:00 AM PST and from 03:00 PM to 05:00 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 led to severe flooding events. The tide heights, while elevated, are not reaching the levels seen in past Category 4 or higher events. The NOAA flood likelihood is low, with a 0.0% chance of flooding, which supports the assessment that while there may be minor coastal flooding due to high tides, it is not expected to be severe.
CATEGORY 3
WHAT Elevated risk of coastal flooding. Potential for water levels to reach up to 1 foot above ground in some areas.
WHEN From 01:00 AM to 03:30 AM PST and from 04:00 PM to 06:00 PM PST.
IMPACTS Increased flooding of low-lying areas and roads near the shoreline. Some property damage possible in vulnerable locations.
On this day, the barometric pressure drops closer to the threshold that indicates a higher risk of flooding, especially during the high tide at 02:30 AM with a pressure of 1005.0 hPa. The tide levels are still below the historical Category 4 events but are higher than on Day 1. The NOAA flood likelihood remains low; however, given the lower barometric pressure and higher tides, there is an elevated risk compared to Day 1.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT Minor coastal flooding possible due to high tides. Inundation likely less than 0.5 feet above ground level.
WHEN From 02:00 AM to 04:00 AM PST and from 05:00 PM to 07:30 PM PST.
IMPACTS Low-lying areas and parks may experience minor flooding. Roads near the coast could have temporary water accumulation.
The barometric pressure on this day is slightly lower than on Day 1 but not as low as on Day 2, indicating a reduced risk of severe weather conditions compared to Day 2. The tide heights are not reaching the critical levels seen in historical Category 4 or higher events. The NOAA flood likelihood data indicates a low chance of flooding, which aligns with the assessment that while there may be minor coastal flooding due to high tides, significant impacts are not anticipated.
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 advisories or evacuation orders that may be issued.
