Redondo Beach, WA
CATEGORY 3
WHAT Minor coastal flooding expected. Possible inundation of up to 1 foot above ground level near shorelines and low-lying areas.
*WHEN From 6:00 AM to 9:00 AM PST.
IMPACTS Minor flooding of low-lying areas, parks, and roads. Isolated road closures possible.
The barometric pressure is above the threshold that has historically indicated severe flooding, suggesting less severe weather conditions for this event. However, the high tide at 07:42 with a mean pressure MSL of 1002.6699829101562 hPa is close to historical Category 4 events, which warrants attention. The wind direction from the south does not significantly contribute to the risk in this case. Comparing with historical data, particularly the event on 12/17/2022, the risk of high-tide flooding is present but likely not at a severe level.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT Coastal flooding is not expected but should be monitored due to high tide levels.
WHEN Highest risk near the time of high tide at 05:00 AM PST.
IMPACTS No significant impacts expected. Some water accumulation possible in very low-lying areas.
The barometric pressure during the high tide at 05:00 is relatively high (1004.7999877929688 hPa), indicating stable weather conditions and a lower likelihood of flooding. The NOAA flood likelihood for this day is low, with a likelihood percent of 0.0%, which supports the assessment that flooding is not expected. Wind direction data is not provided, but given the other factors, it is less critical for this forecast.
CATEGORY 3
WHAT Potential for minor coastal flooding near high tide times.
WHEN Highest risk near the time of high tide at 15:48 PM PST.
IMPACTS Possible minor overflow in susceptible coastal areas and low-lying spots.
The barometric pressure during the high tide at 15:48 is lower (1003.5999755859375 hPa) than on previous days but still above critical thresholds observed in historical Category 4 or higher events. The NOAA flood likelihood remains low for this day as well, with no significant change in flood threshold distance compared to Day 2. Without specific wind direction data for this day, we rely on barometric pressure and tide levels to assess risk, which suggests a Category 3 potential for minor 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. Stay informed through local news and weather updates, and always follow instructions from local authorities regarding evacuations or other safety measures.
