Redondo Beach, WA
CATEGORY 3
WHAT Minor coastal flooding expected. Possible inundation of up to 1 foot 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 during the high tide at 3:48 PM is 1013.95 hPa, which is higher than the threshold that indicates severe weather conditions and potential flooding. However, the tide height is not provided, making it challenging to assess the risk accurately. Based on historical data, a high tide height over 16 Ft combined with this pressure could indicate a risk for flooding. The NOAA Flood Likelihood for this date is low, with a likelihood percent of 0.0%, which suggests that flooding is not expected despite the high tide.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT Coastal conditions expected to be stable with no significant risk of flooding.
WHEN Throughout the day.
IMPACTS No significant impacts anticipated. Normal tidal conditions expected.
The barometric pressure during the high tide at 4:18 AM is 1012.64 hPa, which is relatively stable and does not indicate severe weather conditions that could lead to flooding. The NOAA Flood Likelihood remains low with a likelihood percent of 0.0%, suggesting that there is no significant risk of flooding on this day.
CATEGORY 5
WHAT Significant coastal flooding expected. Potential for property damage and inundation in low-lying areas.
WHEN From late afternoon into the evening, particularly around the high tide at 8:18 PM PST.
IMPACTS Likely flooding of properties, roads, and infrastructure in coastal and low-lying areas. Road closures and disruptions to local communities are possible.
The barometric pressure during the high tides at both 3:12 PM and 8:18 PM is notably low at 1003.28 hPa, which is close to the threshold observed during previous Category 5 events. This low pressure, combined with unspecified high tide levels (which are assumed to be significant based on the provided tide data), suggests an increased risk of severe flooding similar to historical Category 5 events. The NOAA Flood Likelihood data is not provided for this date, but given the low barometric pressure and historical comparisons, there is a heightened concern for potential flooding impacts.
Residents and businesses near shorelines and low-lying areas 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.
