Flood Watch

Redondo Beach, WA

Day 1: 2024-06-18

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 AM to 11:59 PM PST.

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

ADDITIONAL DETAILS...

The barometric pressure readings for the high tides on this day are 998.3800048828125 hPa and 998.0599975585938 hPa, which are higher than the historical threshold of 992.8 hPa that indicates a significant risk of flooding. The tide levels are not provided, but the NOAA Flood Likelihood is low at 0.0%, with a distance to the flood threshold of -2.7m, suggesting that the tide levels are not expected to reach concerning heights. Wind direction is not specified, but given the low likelihood from NOAA and the relatively high barometric pressure, the risk is categorized as Category 2.

Day 2: 2024-06-19

CATEGORY 2

WHAT Minimal risk of coastal flooding. No significant inundation expected.

WHEN From 12:00 AM to 11:59 PM PST.

IMPACTS No significant impacts expected. Normal tidal conditions with no disruption to daily activities.

ADDITIONAL DETAILS...

On this day, the barometric pressure readings for the high tides are higher than on Day 1, at 1002.4500122070312 hPa and 999.010009765625 hPa, indicating even less risk of severe weather conditions that could lead to flooding. The NOAA Flood Likelihood remains low at 0.0%, with a distance to the flood threshold of -2.64m, reinforcing the minimal flood risk assessment. Without specific tide level data for comparison with historical events, and considering the favorable barometric pressure and NOAA forecast, the risk remains categorized as Category 2.

Day 3: 2024-06-20

CATEGORY 1

WHAT No risk of coastal flooding. Normal tidal activity expected.

WHEN From 12:00 AM to 11:59 PM PST.

IMPACTS No impacts from coastal flooding anticipated.

ADDITIONAL DETAILS...

The barometric pressure readings for both high tides on Day 3 are at a stable 1004.510009765625 hPa, which is well above the historical threshold associated with flooding risks. The NOAA Flood Likelihood analysis indicates a low likelihood of flooding at 0.0%, with a distance to the flood threshold of -2.12m, suggesting that tide levels will be well below concerning heights. Given these factors and the absence of any indication of adverse weather conditions or high tides that could lead to flooding, this day is categorized as Category 1 with no risk of coastal flooding.

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.
