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 3:00 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 critical threshold of 992.8 hPa, which suggests that while the tide levels are high, the risk of significant flooding is mitigated by the relatively higher pressure. However, given the historical data, there is still a risk for minor coastal flooding, particularly because the wind direction is from the NW, which can push water towards the shore. The NOAA flood likelihood is low, which aligns with the Category 3 assessment.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT Coastal conditions are expected to be relatively stable with a very low risk of flooding.
WHEN The entire day presents a low risk for flooding.
IMPACTS No significant impacts expected. Normal tidal conditions with no overwash or inundation.
On this day, both high tide levels and barometric pressures are not indicative of flood conditions. The pressures are well above the threshold that has historically led to flooding events in Redondo Beach, WA. Additionally, NOAA's flood likelihood remains low for this region on this date.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT No significant coastal flooding expected. Normal tidal activity with no overwash.
WHEN Low risk throughout the day.
IMPACTS No anticipated impacts from tides. Standard precautions for typical high tide events should be sufficient.
Similar to Day 2, the barometric pressure is high and does not suggest severe weather conditions that could lead to flooding. The tide levels are also not reaching thresholds that have been associated with past flood events. The NOAA flood likelihood analysis supports this finding with a low likelihood of flooding.
You 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. Always consult with local authorities or experts for final decision-making in flood-related situations and heed any evacuation orders or safety instructions provided by emergency services.
