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 6:00 PM to 9:00 PM PST.
IMPACTS Minor flooding of low-lying areas, parks, and roads. Isolated road closures possible.
The barometric pressure is significantly higher than the threshold associated with previous flood events, suggesting less severe weather conditions. The high tide at 19:18 with a pressure of 1006.8 hPa does not reach the critical levels observed in historical Category 4 or 5 events. Wind direction is not provided but considering the NOAA's low flood likelihood for this day, the risk remains categorized as low.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT Minimal risk of coastal flooding. No significant inundation expected.
WHEN Highest risk around high tide times, particularly early morning and late evening.
IMPACTS No significant impacts expected. Monitoring of usual flood-prone areas recommended.
Similar to Day 1, the barometric pressure during high tides remains well above the critical threshold seen in past severe flooding events. The NOAA's flood likelihood remains at 0.0%, and the tide levels, although elevated, are not indicative of a major flood event when compared to historical data.
CATEGORY 3
WHAT Increased risk of coastal flooding due to higher tides. Potential for minor property damage in very low-lying areas.
WHEN Highest risk around high tide at 8:00 PM.
IMPACTS Possible minor property damage due to water inundation in susceptible coastal areas. Some roadways may experience temporary flooding.
On Day 3, the barometric pressure drops closer to the threshold that indicates a higher risk of flooding (1002 hPa). However, it is still above the critical levels seen in Category 4 or 5 events. The high tide level is also not reaching the extreme heights observed in past severe floods. The NOAA's flood likelihood is still low, but given the lower barometric pressure and slightly higher tides, there is a slightly increased risk compared to the previous days.
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 about the latest weather updates and follow any instructions from local authorities regarding evacuation or safety measures.
