Flood Watch

Redondo Beach, WA

Day 1: 2024-07-11

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 7:00 PM to 10:00 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 indicated severe flooding events. With pressures of 1004.1699829101562 hPa and 998.4000244140625 hPa during high tides, the likelihood of a major flood event is reduced. The NOAA Flood Likelihood Analysis indicates a low likelihood of flooding with a 0.0% chance, which supports the assessment that while there may be minor coastal flooding due to high tides, significant flooding is unlikely.

Day 2: 2024-07-12

CATEGORY 2

WHAT Continued minor coastal flooding potential with limited impact.

WHEN Highest risk period is during the morning high tide and late evening high tide.

IMPACTS Similar to Day 1, expect minor inconveniences in low-lying coastal areas but no significant property damage.

ADDITIONAL DETAILS...

The barometric pressure remains well above the critical threshold at 1006.0800170898438 hPa and 1001.8400268554688 hPa for the respective high tides, indicating stable weather conditions less conducive to severe flooding. NOAA's analysis continues to show a low likelihood of flooding for this day, aligning with the pressure data to suggest minimal flood risk.

Day 3: 2024-07-13

CATEGORY 2

WHAT The pattern of minor coastal flooding continues with no significant change in conditions.

WHEN High tide times in the morning and late evening should be monitored for minor overflow.

IMPACTS Expect similar impacts as the previous days, with possible minor nuisance flooding in susceptible areas.

ADDITIONAL DETAILS...

Barometric pressures during high tides are consistent at 1004.469970703125 hPa, which does not indicate a heightened risk for major flooding events. The NOAA Flood Likelihood Analysis remains at a low likelihood percentage, reinforcing the prediction that significant flooding is not expected on this day.

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. Always follow local authority advisories and stay informed on the latest weather updates.
