Redondo Beach, WA
CATEGORY 3
WHAT Minor coastal flooding expected. Possible inundation of up to 1 foot above ground level near shorelines and low-lying areas.
WHEN From 5:00 PM to 10:00 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 significantly higher than the threshold that typically indicates severe flooding risk (992.8 hPa). However, the tide levels are above 16 feet, which requires monitoring. The NOAA's Flood Likelihood Analysis indicates a low likelihood of flooding, with a distance to threshold of -1.57m, which supports the Category 3 assessment. Wind direction is not provided but would be considered if it were from the W/NW.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT Coastal conditions expected to be stable with a very low risk of flooding.
WHEN Throughout the day.
IMPACTS No significant impacts expected. Normal tidal conditions with no action required.
The barometric pressure is above the critical threshold and the tide levels are not reaching the historical flood event markers. NOAA's Flood Likelihood Analysis continues to show a low likelihood of flooding with a distance to threshold of -1.84m. The weather conditions appear stable and do not indicate a significant risk for flooding.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT No significant coastal flooding expected under current conditions.
WHEN Throughout the day.
IMPACTS Normal tidal activity with no anticipated disruptions or flooding in coastal areas.
Similar to Day 2, the barometric pressure remains high and well above the threshold for major concern. Tide levels are not indicative of severe flooding risk, and NOAA's analysis supports this with a low likelihood and a substantial distance to threshold (-2.0m). Weather conditions seem to be consistent with no immediate threat of flooding.
Residents and visitors should monitor later forecasts and be alert for possible Flood Warnings. Those living in areas prone to flooding should remain informed and prepared to take action should weather conditions change unexpectedly. Always follow advice from local authorities regarding safety measures during high tide events.
