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 12:00 AM to 11:59 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 above the threshold that has historically indicated severe flooding events. With pressures of 999.5700073242188 hPa and 1002.1500244140625 hPa during high tides, the likelihood of a severe flood is reduced. The NOAA's Flood Likelihood Analysis indicates a low likelihood of flooding with a 0.0% chance, which supports the assessment that while there may be minor coastal flooding, it is not expected to be severe.
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 Highest risk during high tide times.
IMPACTS Increased flooding of low-lying areas and roads near the shoreline. Some property damage possible in vulnerable locations.
On this day, the barometric pressure during the high tide at 17:30 is 998.8599853515625 hPa, which is closer to historical events that have resulted in more significant flooding. However, the NOAA Flood Likelihood remains low at 0.0%, suggesting that while there is an elevated risk compared to Day 1, widespread severe flooding is still not anticipated.
CATEGORY 4
WHAT Likely coastal flooding with potential for significant property damage in some areas.
WHEN Highest risk during high tide times, particularly around the evening high tide at 18:06.
IMPACTS Flooding of properties and infrastructure near the coast is likely. Residents should prepare for potential evacuations and protect their properties.
The barometric pressure during the high tide at 18:06 is notably lower at 995.1799926757812 hPa, which is within the range that has historically led to more severe flooding events. The NOAA Flood Likelihood Analysis still indicates a low likelihood; however, given the lower pressure and historical context, there is a heightened risk for this day compared to the previous two days.
Residents 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 with local authorities or experts for final decision-making in flood-related situations and follow any evacuation orders or safety instructions as issued by emergency services.
