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 events. With pressures well above 1000 hPa and no indication from NOAA's Flood Likelihood Analysis of an impending flood event, the risk remains low. However, given the high tide levels predicted, minor coastal flooding is still possible, particularly in susceptible areas.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT Continued minor coastal flooding potential with limited impact.
WHEN Peak risk near high tide times, particularly around 6:30 AM and again at approximately 11:30 AM PST.
IMPACTS Similar to Day 1, expect minor and localized flooding in susceptible coastal and low-lying areas. The likelihood of significant property damage remains low.
The barometric pressure is stable and not indicative of severe weather conditions that could lead to major flooding. The tide levels are elevated but do not reach the thresholds observed during past significant flood events. Wind data is not provided but given the other factors, the risk category remains unchanged from Day 1.
CATEGORY 1
WHAT Low risk of coastal flooding with no significant impacts expected.
WHEN Throughout the day, with attention to high tide times for any unexpected changes.
IMPACTS No significant impacts anticipated. Normal tidal conditions with standard precautions advised for waterfront activities.
On this day, both the predicted high tide levels and barometric pressures are not indicative of flooding risks. The pressures are well above the historical threshold for major flood events, and NOAA's Flood Likelihood Analysis indicates a low likelihood of flooding. Without any significant weather systems indicated by the pressure data, the risk is minimal.
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.
