Redondo Beach, WA
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 5:00 PM to 7:00 PM PST.
IMPACTS Minor flooding of low-lying areas, parks, and roads. Isolated road closures possible.
The barometric pressure during the high tide at 6:12 PM is forecasted to be 999.969970703125 hPa, which is higher than the threshold that has historically led to significant flooding events. The tide height at this time is not provided, but given the low likelihood of flooding reported by NOAA and the absence of a high tide height over 21 feet, the risk remains categorized as minor. Wind direction and speed are not specified for this day, but given the other factors, they are unlikely to significantly alter the flood risk category.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT Minimal risk of coastal flooding with no significant impact expected.
WHEN Highest risk period is during high tide around 2:00 PM PST.
IMPACTS No significant impacts anticipated. Normal tidal fluctuations may cause minor pooling in very low-lying areas.
On this day, the barometric pressure at the time of high tide (2:00 PM) is forecasted to be 999.22998046875 hPa, which is well above the critical threshold for major flooding events. The NOAA flood likelihood remains low with no expected flooding. The absence of extreme weather conditions and a high tide height below critical levels suggest a minimal flood risk.
CATEGORY 3
WHAT Elevated risk of coastal flooding due to higher tide levels. Some overflow in vulnerable areas possible.
WHEN Potential for higher water levels around high tide at 7:18 PM PST.
IMPACTS Possible overflow into low-lying streets or properties near the shoreline. Residents should be aware of water levels during this time.
The barometric pressure on Day 3 during the evening high tide is forecasted to be around 998.25 hPa, which is lower than previous days but still above the threshold associated with significant flooding events. However, with NOAA's flood likelihood still indicating a low chance of flooding and no indication that the tide height will exceed the critical threshold of 21 feet, the risk is categorized as elevated but not severe.
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. Stay informed about local tide schedules and be cautious near the water during high tides. Consult local authorities or experts for final decision-making in flood-related situations.
