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 AM to 9:00 PM 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 998.0700073242188 hPa and 995.030029296875 hPa, which are higher than the threshold that indicates a significant risk of flooding (992.8 hPa). However, they are still relatively low and, when combined with the high tide levels, suggest a potential for minor coastal flooding. The NOAA's Flood Likelihood Analysis indicates a low likelihood of flooding with a 0.0% chance, which aligns with the historical Category 1 event but given the slightly lower pressures and the fact that we are close to a Category 3 event from our historical data, we are issuing a Category 3 alert for this day.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT Coastal flooding is not expected.
WHEN Throughout the day.
IMPACTS No significant impacts from coastal flooding are anticipated.
On this day, the barometric pressure readings during high tides are higher than on June 16th, at 1000.6400146484375 hPa and 1004.3099975585938 hPa, indicating even less risk of severe weather conditions that could lead to flooding. The NOAA's Flood Likelihood Analysis continues to show a low likelihood of flooding with a 0.0% chance. Given these factors, the risk of flooding is minimal, similar to a Category 1 event from our historical data.
CATEGORY 3
WHAT Minor coastal flooding possible due to high tide levels.
WHEN From 3:00 PM to 6:00 PM PST.
IMPACTs Potential for minor overflow in very low-lying areas near the shoreline.
The barometric pressure reading during the high tide at 16:12 is slightly lower at 998.9000244140625 hPa compared to June 17th but still not indicative of severe weather conditions that would result in major flooding. However, given that it is closer to the threshold and considering the high tide levels, there is a slight risk for minor coastal flooding. The NOAA's Flood Likelihood Analysis remains at a low likelihood with a 0.0% chance of flooding, which supports our assessment of a Category 3 risk level 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. 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.
