Redondo Beach, WA
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 6:00 PM to 8:00 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 that has historically led to severe flooding events. However, the tide height is approaching levels that have previously resulted in minor coastal flooding. The wind direction is not provided, but given the historical data, winds from the W/NW could contribute to water levels rising. The NOAA flood likelihood is low, which aligns with the absence of extreme weather conditions indicated by the barometric pressure.
CATEGORY 3
WHAT Continued risk of minor coastal flooding, with potential for up to 0.5 feet of inundation in susceptible areas.
WHEN From 6:00 PM to 8:00 PM PST.
IMPACTS Similar to Day 1, expect minor disruptions due to water encroachment on low-lying infrastructure and recreational areas.
The barometric pressure is slightly lower than on Day 1 but still not within the range that typically indicates major flooding events. Tide levels remain high, and the NOAA flood likelihood remains low. Without significant changes in weather conditions or wind patterns, the flood risk remains consistent with Day 1.
CATEGORY 4
WHAT Elevated risk of coastal flooding with potential for up to 1 foot of inundation in vulnerable areas.
WHEN From 6:30 PM to 8:30 PM PST.
IMPACTS Increased likelihood of road closures and moderate flooding of properties, especially in low-lying regions and near the shoreline.
On Day 3, the barometric pressure drops closer to the threshold associated with more severe flooding events. The tide height is also within a range that has historically led to notable coastal flooding. The NOAA flood likelihood data is not provided for this day, but given the pressure and tide data, there is an increased risk compared to the previous 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 local authorities or experts for final decision-making in flood-related situations.
