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 5:00 PM to 7:30 PM PST.
IMPACTS Minor flooding of low-lying areas, parks, and roads. Isolated road closures possible.
The barometric pressure is significantly higher than the threshold associated with past flooding events, suggesting less severe weather conditions. The high tide at 18:06 with a mean pressure of 1018.3 hPa is not indicative of a major flood risk, especially when compared to historical events with lower pressures and higher tides. The NOAA Flood Likelihood for this date is low, with a 0.0% likelihood and a distance to threshold of -1.96m, which supports the forecast of only minor coastal flooding.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT Minor coastal flooding potential persists with slight inundation near shorelines and low-lying areas.
WHEN From 5:00 PM to 8:00 PM PST.
IMPACTS Similar to Day 1, expect minor nuisance flooding in susceptible regions. No significant property damage anticipated.
Continuing the trend from Day 1, the barometric pressure remains high at 1017.4 hPa during the high tide at 18:48, which does not align with historical Category 4 or higher events that had much lower pressures. The NOAA Flood Likelihood remains low at 0.0%, reinforcing the expectation of minimal flood impact.
CATEGORY 3
WHAT Elevated risk of coastal flooding due to higher tides. Inundation may affect more areas than previous days.
WHEN From 6:00 PM to 9:30 PM PST.
IMPACTS Potential for moderate flooding of more extensive low-lying areas and roadways. Some property damage is possible if water levels rise unexpectedly.
On Day 3, the barometric pressure drops slightly to a mean pressure of 1011.9 hPa during the high tide at 19:30, which is closer to historical Category 4 events but still above the critical threshold. The NOAA Flood Likelihood data indicates a low chance of flooding; however, given the proximity to historical Category 3 conditions, there is an elevated risk compared to the previous days.
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.
