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 4:00 PM to 6:00 PM PST.
IMPACTS Minor flooding of low-lying areas, parks, and roads. Isolated road closures possible.
The barometric pressure during the high tide at 16:54 is 1002.6 hPa, which is higher than the threshold that indicates a severe flood risk. However, it is still lower than the pressure during a Category 1 event in our historical data. The tide height at this time is not provided, but given the NOAA's Flood Likelihood Analysis indicating a low likelihood and a significant distance to the flood threshold, the risk of flooding is categorized as Category 3. Wind direction and speed are not specified for this date, but given the other factors, they are unlikely to significantly alter the risk category.
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 likely.
On this day, the barometric pressure readings during both high tides are well above the threshold associated with increased flood risk, at around 1006.6 hPa and 1004.8 hPa respectively. The NOAA Flood Likelihood Analysis also indicates a low likelihood of flooding with no expected exceedance of the flood threshold. Without any indication of adverse weather conditions or significant tidal anomalies, the flood risk remains low.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT No significant coastal flooding expected.
WHEN Throughout the day.
IMPACTS No anticipated impacts due to flooding. Normal tidal activity expected.
Similar to Day 2, the barometric pressure on Day 3 remains high during both high tides, suggesting stable weather conditions and a low likelihood of flooding. The NOAA Flood Likelihood Analysis supports this with a low likelihood percentage and a notable distance to the flood threshold. Therefore, the risk remains categorized as low for this day as well.
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. Always follow instructions from local authorities and emergency services regarding evacuations or other safety measures.
