Flood Watch

Redondo Beach, WA

Day 1: 2024-07-24

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 6:00 PM to 8:00 PM PST.

IMPACTS Minor flooding of low-lying areas, parks, and roads. Isolated road closures possible.

ADDITIONAL DETAILS...

The barometric pressure is significantly higher than the threshold associated with previous flood events, suggesting less severe weather conditions. The high tide at 19:48 with a pressure of 1004.47998046875 hPa does not approach the critical low-pressure values seen in historical flooding events. Wind direction is not provided but would be a lesser factor given the current pressure readings. The NOAA Flood Likelihood for this date is Low, with a 0.0% likelihood, supporting the forecast of minimal flood risk.

Day 2: 2024-07-25

CATEGORY 2

WHAT Slight risk of coastal flooding near high tide times. Inundation unlikely to exceed 0.3 feet above ground level.

WHEN Highest risk near the morning high tide at approximately 7:00 AM PST.

IMPACTS Minimal impacts expected, with possible pooling in very low-lying coastal areas.

ADDITIONAL DETAILS...

The barometric pressure remains well above the threshold for significant flooding events, with a high tide at 07:00 having a pressure of 1001.9000244140625 hPa. Although this pressure is lower than on Day 1, it is still not indicative of major storm conditions that could lead to flooding. NOAA's Flood Likelihood remains Low at 0.0%, reinforcing the minimal flood risk assessment.

Day 3: 2024-07-26

CATEGORY 2

WHAT Minor coastal flooding possible but unlikely to cause significant impacts.

WHEN Potential for minor pooling around the evening high tide at approximately 8:54 PM PST.

IMPACTS Low-lying coastal areas may experience minor and brief inundation, but significant flooding is not expected.

ADDITIONAL DETAILS...

On Day 3, the barometric pressure during both high tides remains stable and relatively high (1006.0800170898438 hPa), which does not suggest severe weather conducive to flooding. The NOAA Flood Likelihood analysis continues to show a Low risk with no expected flooding, which aligns with the absence of critical pressure levels and historical data comparisons.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

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.
