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 06:00 AM to 09:00 AM PST.
IMPACTS Minor flooding of low-lying areas, parks, and roads. Isolated road closures possible.
The barometric pressure during the high tide at 07:48 AM on 2024-06-16 is forecasted to be 995.0499877929688 hPa, which is higher than the threshold that indicates a significant risk of flooding (992.8 hPa). However, it is still relatively low and, when combined with the high tide, suggests a potential for minor coastal flooding. The NOAA's Flood Likelihood Analysis indicates a low likelihood of flooding for this date, which aligns with the predicted minor impacts. Wind direction during this time is from the south, which may not significantly contribute to storm surge in this region.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT Coastal conditions expected to be mostly stable with no significant flooding anticipated.
WHEN Throughout the day.
IMPACTS No significant impacts expected. Normal tidal conditions with no immediate risk of flooding.
On 2024-06-17, the barometric pressure during both high tides is above the critical threshold (1000.4500122070312 hPa in the early hours and 1004.010009765625 hPa in the afternoon), indicating stable weather conditions and a very low risk of flooding. The NOAA's Flood Likelihood Analysis supports this assessment with a low likelihood prediction for this date.
CATEGORY 3
WHAT Minor coastal flooding possible due to high tide and slightly lower barometric pressure.
WHEN From 03:00 PM to 06:00 PM PST.
IMPACTS Potential for minor overflow in very low-lying areas near the shoreline. Some roads may experience temporary water pooling.
The barometric pressure on 2024-06-18 during the high tide at 04:00 PM is forecasted to be 997.9500122070312 hPa, which is closer to the threshold that increases flood risk. While not as critical as pressures observed during major flood events, it warrants attention for minor flooding potential, especially when paired with a high tide. NOAA's Flood Likelihood Analysis continues to indicate a low likelihood of flooding, suggesting that any potential flooding should not be severe.
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.
