Flood Watch

Redondo Beach, WA

Day 1: 2024-07-09

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.

ADDITIONAL DETAILS...

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. With pressures of 1004.3900146484375 hPa and 1001.4299926757812 hPa during high tides, the risk of flooding is lower compared to historical Category 5 events. The NOAA's Flood Likelihood Analysis indicates a low likelihood of flooding with a 0.0% chance, which supports the assessment of a Category 2 flood event for this day.

Day 2: 2024-07-10

CATEGORY 3

WHAT Elevated risk of coastal flooding. Potential for up to 1 foot of inundation in susceptible areas.

WHEN From 6:00 AM to 9:00 AM PST and again from 6:00 PM to 9:00 PM PST.

IMPACTS Moderate flooding of coastal areas, with some roads potentially becoming impassable. Residents should be prepared for possible detours.

ADDITIONAL DETAILS...

On this day, the barometric pressure is slightly lower than on Day 1, with readings of 1002.0499877929688 hPa and 1000.0700073242188 hPa during high tides, indicating a slightly higher risk of flooding. However, the pressures are still above the critical threshold observed in past severe flood events. NOAA's Flood Likelihood Analysis continues to show a low likelihood of flooding at 0.0%, which suggests that while there may be some water rise, it is unlikely to cause significant damage or reach Category 5 conditions.

Day 3: 2024-07-11

CATEGORY 3

WHAT Continued elevated risk of coastal flooding with potential for up to 1 foot of inundation in susceptible areas.

WHEN From approximately 7:00 AM to 10:00 AM PST and again from around 7:00 PM to 10:00 PM PST.

IMPACTS Moderate flooding in coastal zones and low-lying regions, with possible road closures and minor property damage in vulnerable locations.

ADDITIONAL DETAILS...

The barometric pressure remains steady from the previous day with readings of around 1000.1500244140625 hPa during both high tides, which is still higher than the critical threshold associated with severe flooding events. The NOAA's Flood Likelihood Analysis does not indicate an increased risk of flooding, maintaining a low likelihood at 0.0%. While the tide heights are not provided, the consistent barometric pressure and NOAA's analysis suggest that the flood risk remains at a Category 3 level without significant changes from Day 2.

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. Stay informed about local tide schedules and adhere to any advisories or instructions issued by emergency management officials or local authorities.
