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 12:00 PM to 3:00 PM PST.
IMPACTS Minor flooding of low-lying areas, parks, and roads. Isolated road closures possible.
The barometric pressure during the high tide at 00:30 is significantly higher than the threshold that has historically led to severe flooding events. Although the tide height is elevated, the pressure reading of 1000.0399780273438 hPa suggests less severe weather conditions and a lower likelihood of an extreme flooding event. Additionally, NOAA's Flood Likelihood Analysis indicates a low likelihood of flooding for this date, with a flood threshold distance of -2.64m, which supports the forecast of a Category 2 event.
CATEGORY 3
WHAT Elevated risk of coastal flooding. Potential for water levels to reach up to 1 foot above ground in some areas.
WHEN From 3:00 PM to 6:00 PM PST.
IMPACTS Moderate flooding of coastal areas, with some roads potentially becoming impassable. Residents in low-lying areas should be prepared for rising water levels.
On this day, the barometric pressure during the high tide at 16:12 is closer to the historical threshold associated with more significant flood events (997.7999877929688 hPa). The tide height is not provided, but given the pressure and NOAA's consistent low likelihood rating for flooding, it is assumed that the tide height does not reach the critical levels observed in historical Category 4 or higher events. Therefore, the risk is categorized as a Category 3 event, warranting close monitoring but unlikely to cause major property damage.
CATEGORY 3
WHAT Continued elevated risk of coastal flooding. Potential for water levels to reach up to 1 foot above ground in some areas.
WHEN From 4:00 PM to 7:00 PM PST.
IMPACTS Moderate flooding of coastal areas, with some roads potentially becoming impassable. Residents in low-lying areas should be prepared for rising water levels.
The barometric pressure during the high tide at 16:54 is slightly lower than on Day 2 (997.25 hPa), indicating a marginally higher risk of flooding. However, NOAA's Flood Likelihood Analysis still indicates a low likelihood of flooding for this date, with a flood threshold distance of -2.64m. The wind direction and speed are not provided; however, based on available data and historical comparisons, this day is also categorized as a Category 3 event due to the slightly lower pressure reading.
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 evacuation orders or safety instructions provided by emergency services.
