Flood Watch

Redondo Beach, WA

Day 1: 2024-05-29

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 9:00 PM to 11:59 PM PST.

IMPACTS Minor flooding of low-lying areas, parks, and roads. Isolated road closures possible.

ADDITIONAL DETAILS...

The barometric pressure is significantly higher than the threshold that indicates severe weather conditions and potential flooding. The high tide at 22:36 has a mean pressure MSL of 1010.72998046875 hPa, which is above the critical threshold of 992.8 hPa. The NOAA Flood Likelihood for this day is low, with a likelihood percent of 0.0%, and the tide height is not reaching the critical levels observed in historical Category 4 or higher events. Therefore, while there is a high tide expected, the risk of significant flooding is low due to the higher barometric pressure and lack of critical factors such as strong winds from the W/NW or heavy rainfall.

Day 2: 2024-05-30

CATEGORY 1

WHAT No significant coastal flooding expected.

WHEN Lowest risk throughout the day.

IMPACTS No notable impacts anticipated.

ADDITIONAL DETAILS...

The barometric pressure during the high tide at 23:18 is forecasted to be 1014.47998046875 hPa, which is well above the threshold associated with significant flooding events. The NOAA Flood Likelihood remains low with no percent chance of flooding indicated, and the distance to threshold suggests that tide levels are not a concern for flooding. Additionally, the wind direction and speed are not provided but would be considered if they were extreme and from a direction that could push water toward the shore.

Day 3: 2024-05-31

CATEGORY 1

WHAT No significant coastal flooding expected.

WHEN Lowest risk throughout the day.

IMPACTS No notable impacts anticipated.

ADDITIONAL DETAILS...

Similar to Day 2, the barometric pressure during both high tides on this day is forecasted to be stable at around 1011.989990234375 hPa, which does not indicate severe weather conditions that could lead to flooding. The NOAA Flood Likelihood data supports this assessment with a low likelihood of flooding and a significant distance to the flood threshold. Without any indication of extreme wind conditions or other exacerbating factors, the flood risk remains minimal.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

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, as this analysis is based solely on limited data provided and does not account for all possible factors that could affect flood risk.
