Flood Watch

Redondo Beach, WA

Day 1: 2024-07-05

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 5:00 PM to 7:00 PM PST.

IMPACTS Minor flooding of low-lying areas, parks, and roads. Isolated road closures possible.

ADDITIONAL DETAILS...

The barometric pressure readings for the high tides on this day are above the threshold that historically indicates a significant risk of flooding. The highest tide level is expected to be at 6:06 PM with a pressure of 998.8499755859375 hPa, which is higher than the critical threshold of 992.8 hPa. However, given the NOAA's Flood Likelihood Analysis indicating a low likelihood of flooding and the distance to the flood threshold being -1.28m, the risk remains categorized as minor.

Day 2: 2024-07-06

CATEGORY 2

WHAT Slight coastal flooding potential. Inundation unlikely but possible in very low-lying areas.

WHEN Highest risk near the time of high tide at 6:42 PM PST.

IMPACTS Possible pooling of water in susceptible coastal locations. Minimal impact on property and infrastructure expected.

ADDITIONAL DETAILS...

On this day, the barometric pressure during high tide times remains above the critical threshold, with the lowest pressure at 996.9400024414062 hPa early in the morning and a higher pressure of 999.0900268554688 hPa in the evening. The NOAA Flood Likelihood Analysis continues to show a low likelihood of flooding with no expected exceedance of the flood threshold.

Day 3: 2024-07-07

CATEGORY 3

WHAT Elevated risk of coastal flooding due to high tide levels. Some property damage possible in vulnerable areas.

WHEN Highest risk around high tide at 7:18 PM PST.

IMPACTS Potential for minor property damage, especially in low-lying coastal areas. Localized road closures and disruption to waterfront activities may occur.

ADDITIONAL DETAILS...

The barometric pressure during high tide is lower on this day compared to previous days but still above the critical threshold, with an evening high tide pressure reading of 998.8800048828125 hPa. The NOAA Flood Likelihood Analysis maintains a low likelihood rating; however, given that this is the third consecutive day of elevated tides and considering cumulative effects, there is a slightly increased risk compared to previous days.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

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. Consult local authorities or experts for final decision-making in flood-related situations and adhere to any advisories or evacuation orders that may be issued.
