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 4:00 PM to 8:00 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 indicated severe flooding events. With pressures of 1003.4500122070312 hPa and 999.8699951171875 hPa during high tides, the risk of flooding is lower compared to historical Category 4 or 5 events. The NOAA Flood Likelihood Analysis indicates a low likelihood of flooding with a 0.0% chance, which supports the assessment of a Category 2 event for this day.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT Minimal risk of coastal flooding. No significant inundation expected.
WHEN Lowest risk throughout the day.
IMPACTS No significant impacts anticipated. Normal tidal conditions expected.
Similar to Day 1, the barometric pressure levels during high tides are above the critical threshold, with readings of 1004.52001953125 hPa and 1002.0399780273438 hPa. These conditions are not indicative of severe weather that could lead to flooding. The NOAA Flood Likelihood Analysis remains at a low likelihood with no expected flood events, which aligns with a Category 2 prediction for this day.
CATEGORY 3
WHAT Elevated risk of coastal flooding due to higher tide levels. Potential for minor property damage in very low-lying areas.
WHEN From early morning around high tide times to late evening.
IMPACTS Possible minor property damage in susceptible areas due to higher tide levels. Some roads and basements may experience minor flooding.
On this day, the barometric pressure readings during both high tides are identical at 1002.5599975585938 hPa, which is slightly above the historical threshold for Category 4 events but still indicative of potential for increased flood risk due to lower pressure. The NOAA Flood Likelihood Analysis continues to show a low likelihood of flooding; however, given the slightly lower barometric pressure and consistent readings across both high tides, there is an elevated risk compared to the previous days, warranting a Category 3 prediction.
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 through local news sources and heed any advice or instructions from local authorities.
