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 5:00 PM to 7:00 PM PST.
IMPACTS Minor flooding of low-lying areas, parks, and roads. Isolated road closures possible.
The barometric pressure during the high tide at 6:06 PM is forecasted to be 1018.3 hPa, which is significantly higher than the threshold associated with previous flood events. The tide height is not expected to reach the levels seen in Category 4 or 5 events, and the NOAA flood likelihood for this day is low at 0.0%. However, given the high tide prediction and the historical data, there is a potential for minor coastal flooding, particularly if wind direction shifts towards the W/NW.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT Low risk of coastal flooding. No significant inundation expected.
WHEN Potential for higher tides in the evening, but no significant impact anticipated.
IMPACTS No notable impacts expected. Normal tidal conditions with standard high tide levels.
The barometric pressure during the high tide at 6:48 PM is forecasted to be 1017.6 hPa, which is well above the threshold that would indicate a risk of flooding. The NOAA flood likelihood remains low at 0.0%, and the tide height does not approach critical levels seen in past flood events.
CATEGORY 3
WHAT Minor coastal flooding possible. Potential for water levels to reach up to 0.5 feet above ground level in susceptible areas.
WHEN Highest risk near the time of high tide at approximately 7:30 PM PST.
IMPACTS Possible minor overflow onto coastal roads and footpaths. Low-lying properties may experience minor flooding.
The barometric pressure during the high tide at 7:30 PM is forecasted to be lower at 1011.5 hPa, which is closer to the threshold that could indicate a risk of flooding but still above significant past flood events. The NOAA flood likelihood remains low at 0.0%, suggesting that while there may be minor coastal flooding due to high tides, it is not expected to reach severe levels.
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.
