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 6:00 PM to 11:59 PM PST.
IMPACTS Minor flooding of low-lying areas, parks, and roads. Isolated road closures possible.
The barometric pressure at the time of high tide is forecasted to be 995.530029296875 hPa in the morning and 1000.02001953125 hPa in the evening, which is lower than the historical Category 1 event but higher than the thresholds observed in more severe flooding events. The tide levels are not reaching the critical heights seen in Category 4 or 5 events but are still significant. Wind direction is not provided, but given the historical data, winds from the W/NW could contribute to water levels. NOAA's Flood Likelihood Analysis indicates a low likelihood of flooding for this date.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT Coastal conditions expected to improve slightly with a reduced risk of minor flooding.
WHEN The risk is lower throughout the day compared to Day 1.
IMPACTS Potential for minor pooling in low-lying areas during high tide, but significant flooding is not expected.
Barometric pressure readings are higher than on Day 1, with a mean pressure MSL of 999.5900268554688 hPa in the morning and 1002.5700073242188 hPa in the afternoon, indicating more stable weather conditions and a reduced risk of flooding. Tide levels remain elevated but do not pose a significant threat without the presence of other exacerbating factors. NOAA's Flood Likelihood Analysis continues to show a low likelihood of flooding for this date.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT Continued stable conditions with a low risk of coastal flooding.
WHEN Consistent conditions throughout the day with no specific high-risk period.
IMPACTS No significant impacts expected due to flooding; normal tidal conditions may cause minor water rise in typical areas.
The barometric pressure remains stable at around 1002.2100219726562 hPa for both high tides, which does not indicate severe weather that could lead to flooding. Tide levels are similar to Day 2 and do not reach thresholds that have historically resulted in major flooding events. The NOAA Flood Likelihood Analysis supports this assessment with a continued low likelihood of flooding.
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 the most current information and make decisions based on their guidance combined with official forecasts.
