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 4:00 PM to 6:00 PM PST.
IMPACTS Minor flooding of low-lying areas, parks, and roads. Isolated road closures possible.
The barometric pressure during the high tide at 5:12 PM is forecasted to be 995.6500244140625 hPa, which is higher than the threshold that typically indicates severe flooding risk (992.8 hPa). However, it is still relatively low and, when paired with a high tide level, could contribute to minor coastal flooding. The NOAA's Flood Likelihood Analysis indicates a low likelihood of flooding for this day, with a flood threshold distance of -2.01m, which supports the prediction of minor impacts rather than a severe flood event.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT Very minor coastal flooding possible in isolated areas.
WHEN Around the high tide at 7:06 AM and again at approximately 5:42 PM PST.
IMPACTS Minimal overwash in susceptible locations near the waterfront and shoreline. No significant damage expected.
On this day, the barometric pressure readings during both high tides are above the critical threshold (994.0999755859375 hPa in the morning and 999.3099975585938 hPa in the evening), suggesting a lower risk of flooding compared to Day 1. The NOAA Flood Likelihood remains low with no expected flooding, which aligns with the higher barometric pressure readings indicating stable weather conditions.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT Potential for very minor coastal flooding near the time of high tide.
WHEN Around the high tide at 6:12 AM and again at approximately 6:18 PM PST.
IMPACTS Possible brief and minor overflow onto very low-lying coastal roads and footpaths. No damage to properties expected.
The barometric pressure on Day 3 is forecasted to be higher than on Day 1 during both high tides (998.8499755859375 hPa in the morning and 997.760009765625 hPa in the evening), which suggests an even lower risk of flooding than on the previous days. The NOAA Flood Likelihood Analysis continues to indicate a low likelihood of flooding with a significant distance to the flood threshold, supporting the forecast of minimal flood impacts.
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 regarding flood-related situations and adhere to any advisories or evacuation orders that may be issued.
