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 12:00 PM to 3:00 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 above the threshold that has historically indicated severe flooding events. However, the tide height at 14:00 is 16.198 feet, which is comparable to the Category 3 event from historical data. Wind direction is not provided but considering the NOAA's Flood Likelihood Analysis indicating a low likelihood of flooding, the risk remains moderate but should be monitored closely.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT Coastal conditions expected to be mostly stable with a very low chance of minor tidal overflow.
WHEN Potential for minor tidal overflow around the early morning high tide and late evening high tide.
IMPACTS Minimal impact with no significant flooding expected. Some pooling of water in low-lying coastal areas may occur.
The barometric pressure is relatively high during both high tides, significantly reducing the likelihood of flooding despite the tide reaching heights over 16 feet. The NOAA Flood Likelihood remains low, and no significant weather conditions contributing to flood risks are observed.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT Low risk of coastal flooding with no significant tidal impact anticipated.
WHEN Lowest risk throughout the day with stable tidal conditions.
IMPACTS No significant impacts expected. Normal tidal conditions should prevail without any disruption to daily activities.
Similar to Day 2, the barometric pressure is high during both high tides on this day, which does not favor the development of flood conditions. The tide levels are not reaching thresholds that have been associated with past flood events in the historical data provided. NOAA's Flood Likelihood Analysis supports a low risk of flooding for this day as well.
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.
