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 high tide times around 00:30 AM and 3:48 PM PST.
IMPACTS Minor flooding of low-lying areas, parks, and roads. Isolated road closures possible.
The barometric pressure readings for the high tides on this day are significantly higher than the threshold associated with past flooding events, indicating less severe weather conditions and a lower likelihood of an extreme flooding event. The NOAA Flood Likelihood Analysis also indicates a low likelihood of flooding, with a 0.0% chance and a distance to threshold of -1.63m, which supports the forecast of a lower category event.
CATEGORY 3
WHAT Elevated risk of coastal flooding. Potential for water levels to reach up to 1 foot above ground level in some areas.
WHEN Around the high tide times at 01:12 AM and 4:42 PM PST.
IMPACTS Increased potential for flooding of low-lying properties, parks, and roads with some road closures likely.
The barometric pressure is lower on this day, especially during the second high tide, nearing the threshold that has historically indicated more significant flood events. However, it remains above the critical threshold of 992.8 hPa. NOAA's Flood Likelihood Analysis still shows a low likelihood of flooding with a distance to threshold of -1.86m, but given the lower barometric pressure, there is an increased risk compared to Day 1.
CATEGORY 4
WHAT Likely coastal flooding with potential for significant property damage. Water levels may reach up to 2 feet above ground level in vulnerable areas.
WHEN High tide at approximately 5:30 PM PST poses the highest risk.
IMPACTS Likely flooding of properties, parks, and roads with multiple road closures expected. Residents in flood-prone areas should be prepared for rapid water rise.
The barometric pressure during the high tide on this day is forecasted to be significantly lower at 997.9 hPa, which is closer to historical Category 5 events. The NOAA Flood Likelihood Analysis does not indicate a high likelihood of flooding; however, given the low barometric pressure and historical data comparisons, there is an increased risk for significant flooding impacts on this day.
Residents and businesses near the waterfront 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. Consult local authorities or experts for final decision-making in flood-related situations and follow any evacuation orders or safety instructions provided by emergency services.
