Redondo Beach, WA
CATEGORY 2
WHAT Minor coastal flooding expected. Possible inundation of up to 0.5 feet above ground level near shorelines and low-lying areas.
*WHEN From 7:00 AM to 10:00 AM 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 has historically indicated severe flooding events. With pressures well above 1000 hPa and no indication from NOAA's Flood Likelihood Analysis of an impending flood event, the risk remains low. However, given the high tide levels predicted, minor coastal flooding is still possible, particularly in susceptible areas.
CATEGORY 3
WHAT Elevated risk of coastal flooding. Potential for up to 1 foot of inundation in vulnerable areas.
WHEN From 8:00 PM to 11:00 PM PST.
IMPACTS Moderate flooding of coastal areas, with some roads potentially becoming impassable. Residents in flood-prone areas should be prepared for rising water levels.
The barometric pressure is lower on this day, especially during the morning high tide at 9:24 AM with a reading of approximately 999.85 hPa. While this is not as low as the historical events that caused significant flooding, it is close to the threshold and warrants attention. The tide levels are not as high as those seen in Category 4 or 5 events but are still substantial enough to cause concern when combined with the lower pressure.
CATEGORY 1
WHAT No significant risk of coastal flooding.
WHEN All day.
IMPACTS Normal tidal conditions expected with no significant impacts on coastal areas.
Both the morning and evening high tides have a corresponding barometric pressure well above the threshold associated with significant flood events. NOAA's Flood Likelihood Analysis indicates a low likelihood of flooding, and the tide levels are not extraordinary. Therefore, no significant flood risk is anticipated for this day.
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. Stay informed by checking updates from local news sources and official weather channels. Always follow instructions from local authorities regarding evacuations or safety measures.
