Redondo Beach, WA
CATEGORY 3
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.
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 1009.4 hPa, which is significantly higher than the threshold associated with past flood events. The NOAA Flood Likelihood Analysis indicates a low likelihood of flooding for this date, with a distance to threshold of -1.35m, which supports the prediction of minor coastal flooding.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT Coastal conditions expected to improve with a very low risk of flooding.
WHEN Throughout the day.
IMPACTS No significant impacts expected. Normal tidal conditions with no anticipated disruption.
The barometric pressure continues to be stable and above critical thresholds, with a mean pressure MSL of 1014.86 hPa during the high tide at 15:24. The NOAA Flood Likelihood Analysis maintains a low likelihood of flooding for this date as well, with a distance to threshold of -1.25m. The absence of significant rainfall and favorable weather conditions contribute to the very low risk of flooding.
CATEGORY 3
WHAT Slight risk of minor coastal flooding due to high tide levels.
WHEN From early morning until late evening.
IMPACTS Potential for minor overflow in the most vulnerable spots near shorelines and low-lying areas.
On this day, the barometric pressure slightly decreases but remains above the critical threshold with a mean pressure MSL of 1010.97 hPa during the high tide at 16:24. Although the NOAA Flood Likelihood Analysis indicates a low likelihood of flooding with a distance to threshold of -1.32m, the slightly lower barometric pressure compared to previous days warrants attention for potential minor coastal flooding, especially during high tide times.
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.
