Flood Watch

Redondo Beach, WA

Day 1: 2024-06-15

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 11:00 PM to 11:59 PM PST.

IMPACTS Minor flooding of low-lying areas, parks, and roads. Isolated road closures possible.

ADDITIONAL DETAILS...

The barometric pressure is forecasted to be around 998.9 hPa during the high tide at 11:54 PM, which is higher than the historical Category 5 event but lower than the Category 3 event. The tide height is not expected to reach the levels seen in historical Category 4 or 5 events, and NOAA's Flood Likelihood Analysis indicates a low likelihood of flooding for this date. However, given the high tide at night and the pressure being lower than on a typical day, there is a slight risk of minor coastal flooding.

Day 2: 2024-06-16

CATEGORY 2

WHAT Coastal conditions expected to be mostly stable with a very low chance of flooding.

WHEN Throughout the day.

IMPACTS No significant impacts expected. Normal tidal conditions with no immediate risk of flooding.

ADDITIONAL DETAILS...

The barometric pressure is slightly lower on this day, with a mean pressure MSL of 993.75 hPa during the early morning high tide at 07:48 AM. However, this pressure is still above the threshold that has historically indicated severe flooding events. NOAA's Flood Likelihood Analysis continues to show a low likelihood of flooding for this date, and the tide height does not approach critical levels seen in past flood events.

Day 3: 2024-06-17

CATEGORY 2

WHAT No significant coastal flooding expected. Normal tidal activity with no substantial risk of inundation.

WHEN Throughout the day.

IMPACTS No anticipated impacts from tides. Regular monitoring of conditions advised but no action required.

ADDITIONAL DETAILS...

On this day, the barometric pressure during high tide at 03:30 PM is forecasted to be around 999.35 hPa, which does not indicate a heightened risk of flooding when compared to historical data. The NOAA Flood Likelihood Analysis maintains a low likelihood of flooding, and the tide levels are not expected to reach concerning heights based on the provided data.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

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.
