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 9:00 PM to 11:00 PM PST.
IMPACTS Minor flooding of low-lying areas, parks, and roads. Isolated road closures possible.
The barometric pressure during the high tide at 9:30 PM is forecasted to be 994.52 hPa, which is higher than the historical Category 5 event but still within a range that requires monitoring due to its proximity to the threshold of 992.8 hPa. The tide height at this time is not expected to exceed the critical threshold of 21 feet, which reduces the likelihood of severe flooding. However, given the wind direction from the north and the overcast weather conditions, there is a potential for water levels to rise slightly above normal, leading to minor coastal flooding.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT No significant coastal flooding expected. Normal tidal conditions with no substantial overflow.
WHEN Throughout the day.
IMPACTS Standard tidal conditions with no anticipated impacts on coastal areas.
The barometric pressure during both high tides is well above the critical threshold, with readings of 999.5 hPa and 1002.81 hPa, indicating stable weather conditions unlikely to contribute to flooding. The tide heights are also not reaching levels associated with historical flood events. Wind conditions are not specified but given the stable barometric pressure and lack of significant rainfall, wind impact is expected to be minimal on this day.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT No significant coastal flooding expected. Normal tidal conditions with no substantial overflow.
WHEN Throughout the day.
IMPACTS Standard tidal conditions with no anticipated impacts on coastal areas.
Similar to Day 2, the barometric pressure remains stable and high during both high tides at a mean pressure MSL of 1001.36 hPa. The tide heights are not reaching levels that would typically result in flooding in this region. Without additional data on wind conditions and given the lack of rainfall indicated in the weather forecast, it is unlikely that there will be any significant impact from coastal flooding.
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 evacuation or other safety measures. Stay informed about current weather conditions and tide schedules if you plan activities near the water.
