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 5:30 AM to 11:00 AM PST.
IMPACTS Minor flooding of low-lying areas, parks, and roads. Isolated road closures possible.
The barometric pressure readings for the high tides on this day are significantly higher than the threshold that has historically indicated severe flooding (1001.3599853515625 hPa and 1003.6099853515625 hPa). The tide heights are not reaching the levels seen in past Category 4 or 5 events, and NOAA's Flood Likelihood Analysis indicates a low likelihood of flooding with a 0.0% chance. Wind direction is not provided, but given the other factors, the risk remains categorized at a lower level.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT Coastal conditions expected to be similar to Day 1 with minor coastal flooding potential.
WHEN Highest risk period is from 6:00 AM to 12:00 PM PST.
IMPACTS Similar minor impacts as Day 1, with potential for low-lying areas to experience brief inundation.
Continuing the trend from Day 1, the barometric pressure remains high (1004.3699951171875 hPa and 1005.7999877929688 hPa) during high tides, which does not favor significant flooding events. NOAA's Flood Likelihood Analysis still shows a low likelihood of flooding for this day. Without significant deviation from Day 1's conditions, the flood category remains at a lower level.
CATEGORY 3
WHAT Increased coastal flooding potential due to higher tide levels later in the day.
WHEN Highest risk period is from late afternoon into the evening, particularly around the high tide at 10:36 PM PST.
IMPACTS Increased risk of minor property damage and more widespread inundation of low-lying areas near shorelines.
On Day 3, while the barometric pressure is still relatively high (1006.7100219726562 hPa), it is paired with a high tide occurring later in the day when other weather factors might exacerbate conditions. The NOAA Flood Likelihood Analysis continues to indicate a low likelihood of flooding; however, given that the tide height is approaching levels seen in past Category 3 events and considering the cumulative effect of sustained weather patterns over three days, there is a slightly increased risk compared to Days 1 and 2.
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.
