Redondo Beach, WA
CATEGORY 2
WHAT Minor coastal flooding expected due to high tide, but current barometric pressure suggests low likelihood of severe weather conditions. Possible minor inundation near shorelines and low-lying areas.
*WHEN From 9:00 PM to 11:00 PM PST, coinciding with the evening high tide.
IMPACTS Potential for minor flooding of very low-lying areas, parks, and roads closest to the shore. Isolated road closures may occur if water levels rise unexpectedly.
The barometric pressure readings for the high tides on this day are well above the threshold associated with significant flooding events in the historical data. The highest tide level is below the threshold that has historically led to major flooding, and NOAA's Flood Likelihood Analysis indicates a "Low" likelihood of flooding with a 0.0% chance. Wind direction data is not provided, but given the current conditions, it is less likely to be a significant factor unless winds are strong from the W/NW.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT Continued minor coastal flooding risk due to high tide levels. Barometric pressure remains high, indicating stable weather conditions and reducing the risk of severe flooding.
WHEN From 10:00 AM to 12:00 PM PST, during the morning high tide.
IMPACTS Similar to Day 1, with potential for minor and localized flooding in susceptible areas. Public should remain aware but not alarmed.
The barometric pressure is higher than on Day 1, further reducing the likelihood of severe weather that could lead to flooding. The tide level is not reaching the critical heights seen in past significant flood events. NOAA's analysis continues to show a "Low" likelihood of flooding for this day.
CATEGORY 3
WHAT Elevated coastal flooding risk due to higher predicted tide levels. Barometric pressure is lower than previous days but still above critical thresholds.
WHEN From 11:00 AM to 1:00 PM PST, during midday high tide.
IMPACTS Increased risk of minor to moderate flooding in low-lying coastal areas and roads. Some disruption to daily activities near the shore may occur.
The barometric pressure has decreased slightly compared to previous days but remains above the threshold for major flood events. The tide level is approaching heights that have been associated with more significant flooding in the past, warranting closer monitoring. NOAA's Flood Likelihood Analysis still indicates a "Low" likelihood of flooding, but this should be revisited as new data becomes available closer to the date.
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 and adhere to any advisories or evacuation orders that may be issued.
