Flood Watch

Redondo Beach, WA

Day 1: 2024-07-12

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 8:00 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 (1001.5399780273438 hPa and 1006.4299926757812 hPa). The tide heights are not reaching the levels seen in historical Category 4 or 5 events, and the NOAA Flood Likelihood Analysis indicates a low likelihood of flooding with a 0.0% chance. However, given the high tide at 8:54 AM with a lower pressure reading, there is a slight risk that needs to be monitored.

Day 2: 2024-07-13

CATEGORY 2

WHAT Coastal conditions expected to be mostly stable with a very low risk of flooding.

WHEN The entire day, with particular attention during high tides.

IMPACTS No significant impacts expected. Normal tidal conditions with no anticipated disruption.

ADDITIONAL DETAILS...

On this day, the barometric pressure readings during high tides are higher (1004.9000244140625 hPa and 1008.8400268554688 hPa) compared to the previous day, moving further away from the historical threshold that indicates severe flooding risk. NOAA's Flood Likelihood Analysis continues to show a low likelihood of flooding at 0.0%. The tide heights are not expected to reach concerning levels based on historical data.

Day 3: 2024-07-14

CATEGORY 2

WHAT No significant coastal flooding expected.

WHEN Throughout the day, despite high tides.

IMPACTS Normal tidal activity with no significant impacts anticipated on coastal areas.

ADDITIONAL DETAILS...

The barometric pressure remains stable and does not approach the critical threshold associated with severe flooding events. The tide height is also not reaching levels that would typically cause concern based on historical comparisons. NOAA's Flood Likelihood Analysis supports this assessment with a continued low likelihood of flooding at 0.0%.

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.
