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 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 is forecasted to be above the threshold that historically indicates severe weather conditions and potential flooding. However, the high tide at 16:54 with a mean pressure MSL of 1002.2100219726562 hPa is not indicative of extreme flooding risk, especially when compared to historical Category 5 events with much lower pressures. The NOAA Flood Likelihood Analysis reports a low likelihood of flooding for this date, which aligns with the pressure and tide data suggesting a lower risk.
CATEGORY 1
WHAT No significant coastal flooding expected.
WHEN Throughout the day.
IMPACTS No significant impacts anticipated.
The barometric pressure remains high on this day, with a mean pressure MSL of 1005.239990234375 hPa during the high tide at 17:30, which is higher than any historical event associated with flooding. The tide height does not reach the levels seen in past Category 4 or 5 events, and NOAA's Flood Likelihood Analysis continues to report a low likelihood of flooding.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT Minor coastal flooding possible due to high tide levels.
WHEN From 5:00 PM to 7:00 PM PST.
IMPACTS Potential for minor overflow in very low-lying areas near the shoreline.
On this day, the barometric pressure during high tide at 18:06 is forecasted to be 1002.1599731445312 hPa, which is slightly lower than on previous days but still not indicative of severe weather conditions that could lead to major flooding. The NOAA Flood Likelihood Analysis maintains a low likelihood of flooding, and the tide height is not expected to reach thresholds that have historically resulted in significant flooding events.
Residents and visitors should monitor later forecasts and be alert for possible Flood Warnings.
