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 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM 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 of 1011.47998046875 hPa and 1012.02001953125 hPa during high tides, the likelihood of a severe flood is reduced. However, given that the tide heights are not provided, if they were to exceed 16 Ft, the risk could increase. Wind direction and speed are not specified but would be additional factors to consider if available.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT Potential for minor coastal flooding near high tide times.
WHEN Around midnight and again near midday.
IMPACTS Low-lying areas may experience minor flooding, with water encroachment in parks, walkways, and minor roads.
The barometric pressure is relatively stable at around 1011.8300170898438 hPa and 1012.6500244140625 hPa during the predicted high tides, which does not suggest a significant risk of flooding. The NOAA flood likelihood for this day is low with a likelihood percent of 0.0%, indicating minimal flood risk despite the absence of specific tide height data for comparison.
CATEGORY 3
WHAT Elevated risk of coastal flooding due to higher tide levels and lower barometric pressure.
WHEN Highest risk near high tides in the early morning and mid-afternoon.
IMPACTS Increased potential for flooding in low-lying areas, with possible property damage in vulnerable coastal zones.
On this day, the barometric pressure drops to around 1010.72998046875 hPa and further to 1008.3499755859375 hPa during high tides, which is closer to historical events that have resulted in flooding. While still above the critical threshold observed in past severe floods, this lower pressure combined with unspecified high tide levels warrants a higher category rating due to increased risk. The NOAA flood likelihood remains low with a likelihood percent of 0.0%, but caution is advised due to the pressure readings nearing historical flood event conditions.
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 stay informed about the latest weather updates and advisories.
