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 3:00 PM to 6:00 PM PST.
IMPACTS Minor flooding of low-lying areas, parks, and roads. Isolated road closures possible.
The barometric pressure is relatively high at 1013.9 hPa during the high tide at 17:30, which is above the threshold that has historically led to significant flooding events. The tide height is not expected to reach the levels seen in Category 4 or higher events, but caution is still advised due to the high tide at 17:30 of approximately 18.7 feet (using the provided tide data and converting meters to feet). Wind direction and speed are not provided but should be monitored closely, especially if coming from the W/NW as it can push more water towards the shore.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT Low risk of coastal flooding.
WHEN No specific high-risk period identified due to favorable conditions.
IMPACTS No significant impacts expected. Normal tidal conditions with no immediate threat of flooding.
The barometric pressure is forecasted to be higher on this day at around 1017.6 hPa during the high tide at 18:06, which further reduces the likelihood of flooding compared to Day 1. The tide height is also lower than on Day 1, with no indication from NOAA's Flood Likelihood Analysis of an increased risk for flooding.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT Low risk of coastal flooding.
WHEN No specific high-risk period identified due to favorable conditions.
IMPACTS No significant impacts expected. Normal tidal conditions with no immediate threat of flooding.
Similar to Day 2, the barometric pressure remains high at around 1014.6 hPa during the high tide at 18:48, suggesting stable weather conditions and a low likelihood of flooding. The tide height continues to be lower than critical levels seen in past significant flood events, and NOAA's Flood Likelihood Analysis indicates a low likelihood of flooding for this day as well.
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 advice from local authorities regarding safety measures during high tides and potential flood conditions.
