Redondo Beach, WA
CATEGORY 3
WHAT Minor coastal flooding expected. Possible inundation of up to 1 foot above ground level near shorelines and low-lying areas.
*WHEN From 10:00 AM to 11:00 AM PST and from 10:00 PM to 11:00 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 at 10:12 AM is above 16 feet, which requires attention. The wind direction is not provided, but if it were from the W/NW as in the historical event on 12/17/2022, it could increase the risk. The NOAA flood likelihood is low for this day, which aligns with the higher barometric pressure indicating less severe conditions.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT Coastal conditions are expected to be mostly stable with a very low risk of flooding.
WHEN Throughout the day.
IMPACTS No significant impacts expected. Normal tidal conditions with no anticipated disruption.
The high tide level is not reaching the concerning thresholds seen in historical events that led to flooding. The barometric pressure at the time of high tide is also relatively high, suggesting stable weather conditions. Wind data is not provided, but given the other factors, the risk remains low.
CATEGORY 3
WHAT Minor coastal flooding possible due to higher tide levels. Potential for water encroachment in susceptible areas.
WHEN Around high tides at approximately 7:18 AM and 1:42 PM PST.
IMPACTS Possible minor overflow onto coastal roads and walkways. Low-lying properties may experience minor flooding.
The barometric pressure during both high tides is lower than on previous days, nearing the threshold that increases flood risk. The tide height is not provided; however, if it were to exceed 16 feet as on previous days, this could contribute to minor flooding risks, especially if winds are from the W/NW. NOAA's flood likelihood remains low for this day, but given the lower pressure readings, vigilance is advised.
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 heed any evacuation orders or safety instructions.
