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 7:00 PM to 9:00 PM PST.

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

ADDITIONAL DETAILS...

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 1004.9500122070312 hPa and 1002.1799926757812 hPa during high tides, the likelihood of a severe flood event is reduced. The NOAA Flood Likelihood Analysis indicates a low likelihood of flooding with a 0.0% chance, which supports the assessment that while there may be minor coastal flooding due to high tides, it is not expected to be severe.

Day 2: 2024-07-25

CATEGORY 3

WHAT Elevated risk of coastal flooding. Potential for up to 1 foot of inundation in low-lying areas near the shoreline.

WHEN Highest risk from early morning around 7:00 AM and late evening around 8:30 PM PST.

IMPACTS Increased flooding of low-lying areas and parks, with possible road closures and minor property damage in vulnerable locations.

ADDITIONAL DETAILS...

The barometric pressure during high tides is slightly lower than on Day 1, with readings of 1006.2100219726562 hPa and 1001.510009765625 hPa, which is still above the historical threshold for severe flooding events. However, the NOAA Flood Likelihood Analysis maintains a low likelihood prediction with a 0.0% chance of flooding. The tide levels are not reaching the critical heights observed in historical Category 4 or higher events, but caution is advised due to the slightly lower barometric pressure compared to Day 1.

Day 3: 2024-07-26

CATEGORY 2

WHAT Minor coastal flooding potential persists with possible inundation below 0.5 feet above ground level in susceptible areas.

WHEN From early morning around 8:00 AM to late evening around 9:00 PM PST.

IMPACTS Similar to Day 1, expect minor nuisance flooding in low-lying coastal areas and parks, with potential for isolated road closures.

ADDITIONAL DETAILS...

Barometric pressure readings remain stable and relatively high at around 1006.510009765625 hPa during both high tides, indicating a continued lower risk of severe flooding. NOAA's Flood Likelihood Analysis continues to show a low likelihood of flooding with a distance to threshold indicating that tide levels are not expected to reach critical flood stage levels.

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 the most current information and make decisions based on their guidance in conjunction with this analysis.
