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 2:00 PM to 5:00 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 previous Category 5 events, suggesting less severe weather conditions. However, the high tide at 20:18 with a mean pressure MSL of 1004.260009765625 hPa, although not below the critical threshold of 992.8 hPa, still warrants attention due to the proximity to historical Category 3 events. The NOAA Flood Likelihood Analysis indicates a low likelihood of flooding for this date, which aligns with the predicted Category 3 risk level.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT Coastal conditions expected to be relatively stable with a very low chance of minor tidal overflow.
WHEN Potential for minor tidal fluctuations around the high tide at 10:36 AM PST.
IMPACTS Limited impact expected, with no significant flooding anticipated in coastal or low-lying areas.
The barometric pressure during the high tide at 10:36 AM is forecasted to be around 1002.5399780273438 hPa, which is above the critical threshold and indicates stable weather conditions. The NOAA Flood Likelihood Analysis supports this assessment with a low likelihood of flooding reported for this date.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT No significant flood risk expected with stable coastal conditions.
WHEN Throughout the day, especially during high tides at 06:36 AM and 11:30 AM PST.
IMPACTS No disruptive impacts anticipated; normal tidal conditions expected.
The barometric pressure remains stable and above critical thresholds during both high tides, with a mean pressure MSL of 1004.2999877929688 hPa. This suggests that severe weather is unlikely to contribute to flooding risks. The NOAA Flood Likelihood Analysis reports a low likelihood of flooding for this date as well, further supporting the Category 2 assessment.
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.
