Flood Watch

Redondo Beach, WA

Day 1: 2024-07-06

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 3:00 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 during the high tide at 18:42 is forecasted to be 1000.1500244140625 hPa, which is higher than the threshold that indicates a significant risk of flooding. However, it is still lower than average pressures observed during non-flooding events. The tide height at this time is not provided, but given the low likelihood of flooding from NOAA's analysis (0.0%), it is assumed that the tide height will not reach the critical levels observed in historical Category 4 or higher events. Wind direction data is not provided, but historical events suggest that winds from the W/NW could increase flood risks. The forecasted weather conditions show no significant precipitation, which reduces the overall flood risk.

Day 2: 2024-07-07

CATEGORY 2

WHAT Coastal conditions expected to be mostly stable with a very low chance of minor tidal overflow.

WHEN Potential for minor tidal fluctuations around the time of high tide at 19:18 PST.

IMPACTS Negligible impact on coastal activities and infrastructure expected.

ADDITIONAL DETAILS...

The barometric pressure during the high tide at 19:18 is forecasted to be 1006.5399780273438 hPa, which is well above the threshold associated with increased flood risks and is indicative of more stable weather conditions. The NOAA Flood Likelihood Analysis indicates a low likelihood of flooding (0.0%), and the distance to the flood threshold is significant (-1.44m). This suggests that the tide levels are not expected to reach concerning heights. Without significant wind or precipitation factors to exacerbate conditions, the risk of flooding remains minimal.

Day 3: 2024-07-08

CATEGORY 2

WHAT No significant coastal flooding anticipated; normal tidal variations may occur.

WHEN Throughout the day, with attention to high tide times for localized minor overflow.

IMPACTS Standard tidal effects on coastal regions; no substantial disruptions expected.

ADDITIONAL DETAILS...

On Day 3, the barometric pressure during high tide at 19:48 is forecasted to be 1004.9400024414062 hPa, which does not indicate a heightened risk for flooding when compared to historical data. The NOAA Flood Likelihood Analysis continues to show a low likelihood (0.0%) for flooding events, with a substantial distance to the flood threshold (-1.57m). The absence of any significant weather disturbances or extreme tidal predictions supports a low-risk forecast.

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.
