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 7:00 PM to 10:00 PM PST.
IMPACTS Minor flooding of low-lying areas, parks, and roads. Isolated road closures possible.
The barometric pressure during the high tide at 20:36 is 1009.7 hPa, which is significantly higher than the threshold associated with previous flood events. The tide height is not expected to exceed the critical level of 21 feet that has been associated with major flooding in the past. Wind direction data is not provided, but given the current conditions and comparison with historical events, significant flooding is not anticipated.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT Minimal risk of coastal flooding. No significant impact expected.
WHEN Throughout the day.
IMPACTS No significant impacts anticipated. Normal tidal conditions expected.
The barometric pressure during the high tide at 21:12 is 1006.0 hPa, which is still above the critical threshold for major flooding events. The tide height remains below the critical level of 21 feet, and NOAA's Flood Likelihood Analysis indicates a low likelihood of flooding for this date.
CATEGORY 3
WHAT Elevated risk of coastal flooding due to lower barometric pressure. Close monitoring advised.
WHEN High tide times around 8:06 AM and 9:48 PM PST may pose the highest risk.
IMPACTS Potential for minor to moderate flooding in low-lying coastal areas, with possible impacts on property and infrastructure in vulnerable locations.
The barometric pressure during both high tides on this day is closer to the threshold at approximately 999.6 hPa, which increases the risk of flooding compared to the previous days. However, it remains above the historical threshold associated with Category 4 or higher events. The NOAA Flood Likelihood Analysis continues to indicate a low likelihood of flooding for this date, but due to the lower pressure readings, there is an elevated risk compared to the previous days.
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. Stay informed about local tide schedules and be cautious near the water at high tide times. Consult local authorities or experts for final decision-making in flood-related situations.
