Flood Watch

Redondo Beach, WA

Day 1: 2024-06-02

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 12:00 AM 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 forecasted to be above the threshold of 992.8 hPa, which reduces the likelihood of severe flooding despite the high tide levels. The highest tide level for the day is at 00:36 with a mean pressure MSL of 1008.0800170898438 hPa, which is significantly higher than the threshold associated with previous flood events. The NOAA Flood Likelihood Analysis indicates a low likelihood of flooding with a distance to the threshold of -1.35m, which supports the forecast of minor coastal flooding.

Day 2: 2024-06-03

CATEGORY 1

WHAT No significant coastal flooding expected.

WHEN Throughout the day.

IMPACTS No significant impacts anticipated.

ADDITIONAL DETAILS...

The barometric pressure remains well above critical levels, with a mean pressure MSL of 1010.1199951171875 hPa during the high tide at 01:12 and even higher at 1015.1599731445312 hPa during the high tide at 15:24. Tide levels are not reaching thresholds that have historically resulted in flooding, and NOAA's Flood Likelihood Analysis continues to indicate a low likelihood of flooding with a distance to threshold of -1.25m.

Day 3: 2024-06-04

CATEGORY 2

WHAT Minor coastal flooding possible due to high tide levels.

WHEN From early morning to late evening.

IMPACTS Potential for minor overflow in very low-lying areas and near the shoreline.

ADDITIONAL DETAILS...

On this day, the barometric pressure is slightly lower during the high tide at 16:24 with a mean pressure MSL of 1010.6900024414062 hPa, which is still above the critical threshold but warrants closer monitoring due to its proximity to historical flood event pressures. The NOAA Flood Likelihood Analysis maintains a low likelihood rating with a distance to threshold of -1.32m, suggesting that while there may be minor coastal flooding, it is not expected to be severe.

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 and adhere to any advisories or evacuation orders that may be issued.
