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 11:00 AM to 2:00 PM PST.
IMPACTS Minor flooding of low-lying areas, parks, and roads. Isolated road closures possible.
The barometric pressure is relatively high at 1011.6500244140625 hPa during the high tide, which is not indicative of severe weather conditions that could lead to flooding. The tide height is not provided, but based on the NOAA flood likelihood being low at 0.0%, it is assumed that the tide is not significantly high to pose a major threat. Wind direction and speed are not specified for this day; however, without a significant storm surge or low pressure, the risk remains low.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT Slight risk of coastal flooding near high tide times.
WHEN Peak risk near high tides at 12:36 AM and 2:06 PM PST.
IMPACTS Potential for minor overflow in the most vulnerable locations near the waterfront and shoreline with little to no property damage expected.
The barometric pressure readings during high tides are above the threshold that typically indicates a higher risk of flooding (1010.0999755859375 hPa and 1010.7100219726562 hPa). The NOAA flood likelihood remains low at 0.0%, suggesting that the tide levels are not expected to reach the flood threshold of 2.1m. Wind conditions are unknown, but current data does not suggest a significant flood risk.
CATEGORY 3
WHAT Moderate risk of coastal flooding, especially in areas with poor drainage or typically prone to high tide overflow.
WHEN Highest risk around the high tide at 3:24 PM PST.
IMPACTS Possible flooding of roads, parking lots, and parks with overflow onto sidewalks and near buildings, especially in low-lying areas.
On this day, the barometric pressure drops slightly to around 1008.5499877929688 hPa during the high tide, which is closer to historical events that have resulted in flooding. However, it is still above the critical threshold observed in past Category 4 or higher events. The NOAA flood likelihood data indicates a low chance of flooding, but given the lower pressure and assuming a higher tide level (not provided), there may be an increased risk compared to the previous days.
Residents and businesses 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 on current weather conditions as they evolve.
