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 07:06 is 993.13 hPa, which is close to the threshold that increases the likelihood of flooding. However, the pressure is not as low as in historical Category 5 events, and NOAA's Flood Likelihood Analysis indicates a low likelihood of flooding for this date. The tide height at this time is not provided, but given the pressure and NOAA's data, the risk is categorized as a Category 3 event.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT Coastal conditions are expected to be relatively stable with a very low chance of minor flooding.
WHEN Lowest risk throughout the day.
IMPACTS No significant impacts expected. Normal tidal conditions with no immediate threat to property.
The barometric pressure during both high tides is above the critical threshold (1000.45 hPa and 998.66 hPa), indicating less severe weather conditions and a lower likelihood of flooding. NOAA's Flood Likelihood Analysis supports this with a low likelihood prediction for this date.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT Coastal conditions are expected to be relatively stable with a very low chance of minor flooding.
WHEN Lowest risk throughout the day.
IMPACTS No significant impacts expected. Normal tidal conditions with no immediate threat to property.
The barometric pressure during both high tides is at 998.04 hPa, which is higher than the critical threshold observed in historical Category 5 events. The NOAA Flood Likelihood Analysis also indicates a low likelihood of flooding for this date, supporting the Category 2 assessment.
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.
