Redondo Beach, WA
CATEGORY 2
WHAT Minor coastal flooding expected due to high tides, but current barometric pressure suggests less severe weather conditions. Possible inundation of low-lying areas near shorelines.
*WHEN From 02:00 AM to 03:00 AM PST, coinciding with the high tide.
IMPACTS Minor flooding of low-lying areas, parks, and roads. Isolated road closures possible.
The high tide at 02:24 with a mean pressure MSL of 1003.75 hPa is noted. While the pressure is lower than the historical Category 1 event, it is still above the threshold that indicates severe weather conditions. The NOAA Flood Likelihood for this date shows a 0.0% chance of flooding, which supports the Category 2 assessment. Wind direction and speed are not provided but would be considered if available.
CATEGORY 3
WHAT Elevated risk of coastal flooding due to high tide and lower barometric pressure. Potential for water encroachment into low-lying areas and minor property impact.
WHEN From 02:00 AM to 04:00 AM PST and again from 05:00 PM to 07:00 PM PST during high tides.
IMPACTS Increased likelihood of minor property damage, especially in low-lying areas and zones with poor drainage. Some roadways may experience temporary flooding.
The high tide at 18:12 with a mean pressure MSL of 1000.27001953125 hPa is closer to the threshold that indicates a higher risk of flooding. The NOAA Flood Likelihood remains at a low chance, but the proximity to the threshold warrants a Category 3 rating for caution. Wind direction and speed are not provided but would be considered if available.
CATEGORY 4
WHAT Likely coastal flooding due to high tide and significantly lower barometric pressure. Expect property damage in vulnerable coastal areas.
WHEN From 02:00 AM to 04:00 AM PST and again from 05:00 PM to 08:00 PM PST during high tides.
IMPACTS Likely property damage due to flooding, including inundation of structures in low-lying areas. Road closures and disruptions to daily activities are possible.
The high tide at 18:54 with a mean pressure MSL of 998.1500244140625 hPa is below the threshold that historically indicates severe weather conditions and potential flooding. This day's conditions are most concerning, as they align more closely with historical Category 4 events, despite NOAA's Flood Likelihood indicating a low chance of flooding. Wind direction and speed are not provided but would be considered if available.
Residents 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 evacuation orders or safety advisories issued by local emergency services.
