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 5:00 PM to 7:00 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 above the threshold that has historically indicated severe flooding events. However, the tide levels are approaching significant heights that have been associated with past flood events. The wind direction from the northwest is not directly contributing to an increased risk of flooding. NOAA's Flood Likelihood Analysis indicates a low likelihood of flooding for this date, which aligns with the absence of extreme weather indicators in the provided data.
CATEGORY 3
WHAT Continued minor coastal flooding potential. Possible water accumulation in susceptible areas.
WHEN From 5:00 PM to 8:00 PM PST.
IMPACTS Similar to Day 1, expect minor inconveniences due to water pooling in low-lying coastal areas. Some recreational areas may be temporarily affected.
The barometric pressure remains stable and does not suggest severe weather conditions that could lead to major flooding. The tide levels are slightly higher than on Day 1 but still do not reach the critical levels observed in historical Category 4 or higher events. Wind conditions are not specified but would need to be from a more southerly direction and stronger to significantly impact the flood risk. NOAA's analysis continues to show a low likelihood of flooding.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT Low risk of coastal flooding with no significant water level rise expected.
WHEN Throughout the day, with close monitoring of tide changes.
IMPACTS No significant impacts anticipated. Normal activities near shorelines can proceed with usual caution for natural tidal changes.
On this day, the barometric pressure is slightly lower during the early morning high tide but still not indicative of severe weather conditions that could lead to flooding. The tide level at its highest is below the thresholds associated with past Category 4 events. The NOAA Flood Likelihood Analysis maintains a low likelihood of flooding, and there are no indications from the provided data that would suggest an increase in flood risk beyond what is typical for natural tidal fluctuations.
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, as this analysis is based solely on limited data provided and does not account for all possible factors that could affect flood risk.
